some advice... by dmscvan
Well, the time is drawing near for me to start applying for postdoc grants. For me to finally get a real job! Yay! But when I apply for these grants, I have to apply to take them to a specific university. So now I have to choose. These are the ...
Sench and Loloieg - thanks so much for the advice. I really appreciate it! I guess ultimately, which ever way I go, I'm sure that things will work out. It's all so strange having to make this kind of decision again... Read More

Sounds fascinating. I'd love to read the book when you're done. I'd like to help but I don't fit the bill, and none of my friends do either... But I suspect you may find some people on here who do! Read More

Julien, Thanks for the response! It's true, I know, I have to listen to my heart. But I kind of think it's pulling me in two directions - each for different reasons. I know it's complicated to give advice on this one - there are so many factors. ... Read More
it's been quiet... by dmscvan
It seems as if it's been rather quiet around here lately. So what's everyone been kept busy with? For me it's my thesis... Some guesses: many are too busy watching the World Cup to wander the expat forum... many are enjoying the start of summer ...
Yup - I agree with Pat! Completely. Actually, when I mentioned it's been quiet, I was just referring to what seems to me to be a general drop in activity. But I think you do a great job with the forum! Really - we're all here because of you ... Read More

How to fight against racism? by Julien
Hi everybody, we've already got a very good topic about racism, it's very interesting to share our experiences with you guys. Let's try to talk about solutions. What can we do to fight against racism? Can a racist person change his/her mind? ...
I agree that living abroad and feeling like a foreigner would certainly make a difference for many people. It can really open up your eyes. I know how difficult it was for me at times being an obvious minority. And although I was treated ... Read More
es-selamun aleykum by Sench
The greeting sentence in the subject line is one of the many common things among muslim countries. Only used by aged-people in Turkey, though. Who am I, well, I am a teacher originally from Turkey. I am half Turkish, half Albanian and after ...
I always wanted to teach and do research at university level, but kept postponing it for the last 4 years. I guess I really like teaching in middle-high school level.Funny, I've always wanted to teach middle school, but fell in love with ... Read More

Hi Susanna, Welcome! Your blog looks interesting. I'm sure I'll stop by again and read more of it! You and your husband are both expats from different countries living in a third country? That's interesting. I've heard that some couples find that ... Read More

Welcome Sencer! It sounds like you have interesting plans! Working for an organisation like UNESCO would certainly be fascinating. I've thought of similar things for when I'm done my PhD - although I'm sure I'll start off mostly working in a ... Read More

It doesn't really matter what type of organization you work for, or what type of work you do, as long as you work togetherYeah, I work all by myself, which is why I didn't think it was too relevant for me after looking a bit more closely at it. ... Read More
