Bursa Turkey by Jack Knox

Turkey in Middle East? There is a lot of controversy going on if it is in Europe or in Asia, but Middle East? Not, for sure. I always thought Turkey as being a part of the European culture, especially after being geographically in Europe since the ... Read More

Organization of the forum by Julien

Hi everybody, I'll like to improve the forum, with columns such as "Expat in Africa", "Expat in Asia", "Expat in North America" ... Do you think it's better to have one column for each language (English, Spanish, French at the moment) then ...

sench

It is a bit annoying that the conversation starts in english then continues in French. I think the forum should have categories divided according to languages, because not everyone is polylingual or at least i can't speak French, "Yet". Hopefully I ... Read More

Zidane vs Materazzi by awa@lecce

Being French in Italy, it was quite difficult to make understand that I was a tifoso of the 2 teams. :thanks: Today, all of them make the joke of the Zidane's headbutt... Funny at the beginning but it becomes to be a bit annoying. I even heard that ...

Well, if someone curses at me by using those words, I certainly go to the police. Likewise, if someone headbutts you, do the same. Why this kind of deliberate physical or verbal attacks, which are for sure not a part of the game, have to be dealt on ... Read More

Living in Dubai by Julien

Hi, We don't speak enough about this destination. What do you think about Dubai? I heard several times (but that's for sure a cliché) that it's a very good place to work but not a good place to live. What do you think about it?

sench

I have been to Dubai, and did not like it much. AC's made me sick. Cheap technological stuff and good for that kind of shopping, but who the hell wants to swim in a sea hotter than a turkish bath? Read More

photo managing utility software by Sench

IrfanView is usually enough for simple editting on your photos; and it allows you do a nice slide display with a background sound. The output is an .exe file, which can be run even if you do not have the software. I discovered UTube does not allow ...

After hours of trying all sorts of software, I decided to buy this one. Very handy, quick processing and cheap. Video effects are good, and audio support is available. You will still need picasa for photo editting, though. Here is the link, cost 35 ... Read More

I've downloaded and liked Picasa in general, smaller then photoshop and much easier. You can create a collage, and a video presentation. But but but, no audio support in video unfortunately. Read More
