Having grown up around the world, a child of expatriates... and then becoming an expat myself... I sometimes think the term needs a bit of an evolution. My kids... 3rd generation expats, have lived in various countries... the only thing that gives ... Read More
Getting to know somewhere by lenox
It was fun travelling around with a rucksack in those days - twenty years ago or more. A hammock, a change of pants, a hippie's guide to Latin America (mine was called 'Along the Gringo Trail'), a bit of grass and a notebook. Mexico was fun because ...
Definitely with you there... but there are ways and ways of living. My parents (expats in Asia), for instance, lived a very British colonial type lifestyle. Very remote from the local culture. Living somewhere is not enough, you need some ... Read More
looking for funny mis-translations by lbcanaries
Anyone seen any funny mis-translations (into English) where they are? Or amusing (mis-)uses of the English language? I'd love to read them, or see any pics snapped! Thanks to all Leslie http://tenerifescribbler.blogspot.com/ lbcanaries@yahoo.es
Hi Lenox, thanks for the engrish lesson and the link! I noticed it a while ago when I started to get the odd visitor from your site, and placed a reciprocal link on mine at the timeÂ… kept meaning to thank you butÂ… (shuffles feet and remembers thank ... Read More

A cunning plan... we'll all help each other by lbcanaries
Calling all Íæż½ã½ãgers! We would all like a bit of extra traffic on our blogs, let's face it, we all write in order to be read. One way in which we can gain higher rankings on searches is to have more sites linking to our own blogs. And the ...

Yes, Julien a webring is kind of what I had in mind... except that a webring hops from one site to another and what I proposed is more of a web spaghetti, in that each website would link to every other. Does that still qualify as a ring? The ... Read More
Looking for European Newsy Blogs by pmandel
Yesterday's email included the contract for my volunteer position as Euro-editor for this year's BlogHer. I have a few questions on the details, but esentially, I'll be trying to publish the best blogging from and about Europe to the BlogHer site ...

Salud! (hic)Â… from Tenerife! by lbcanaries
http://tenerifescribbler.blogspot.com/ No promise of useful expat info here, IÂ’m afraid. Anyway, Tenerife is the most un-expat place IÂ’ve ever livedÂ… I mean weÂ’ve even got a Marks and Spencer and an Iceland for heavens sake. ItÂ’s not expatting ...
