Bath I think the sense of community would be strong somewhere like PV. I found the people very friendly and helpful and they love kids. I think culturally you would all gain a great experience and there are some beautiful places to go and see in the area.

But as you have said, things like internet are not good, and also food is very expensive. Then again, if you're not paying tax it's probably all relative!! Truly I think you will find positives and negatives everywhere, and where-ever you end up you will enjoy.
