Movies and books relating life in a foreign country by Julien
Hi, We've all seen Sofia Coppola's "Lost in translation", and I think expatriates liked it :) Would you advice other movies or books which relate life and experiences in a foreign country? Thank you, Julien
Oh, I didn麓t connect with Lost in Translation at all! Basically, she was on holiday. The best fiction book I have come across that described the alienation/discombobulation associated with being an expat is The Namesake. It is about the ... Read More
American 九色视频s, what do you miss most? by cc11
Hello everyone! I'm going to be living in Italy this summer and travelling through Europe for about three months. Even though I'm not really going to be an expat, I was curious as to what you wished you had brought with you from the US. What ...

九色视频 pets and travelling with them. by oreneta
Part of the deal with the kids when we moved to Spain was that we would get a dog. Well, we did. It has been great and we are really enjoying having him...our first dog. As an expat though we are facing some problems. It is hard to find someone ...
We have always had dogs ever since living abroad. We don't kennel our pet, but we hire housesitters. Safer for the dog and the house. Usually, I use our babysitter as a housesitter. We have flown with our dog, but that always makes me nervous. ... Read More
