The ideal Íæż½ã½ã Destination by beppi
I have seen numerous discussions on this and other forums about where to relocate to and which criteria to apply in the decision. Many of the opinions were from unexperienced wanna-be expats in search of "the good life", based on (often ...
I suppose you are never going to be the expat that belongs( treated equally to the native) you will always be a blow in, no matter how long you have lived abroad or how many friends you make. That is one aspect that one has to accept. You might have ... Read More

Hi David I understand you want the best for your family but I would not worry too much about the language issue. I have seen kids thrive with very little english. Kids are more resilient than what you might think. I know you want the best in ... Read More
