working and living in Glasgow by kaluza
Hello all! I'm in my third year at University of Glasgow for my EdD. I'm a US citizen teaching here for the past 13 years. I'm interested in moving in a year or so to hopefully start then finish my dissertation. The issue I'm ...
I'm confused. You're enrolled in an online D of Ed at the U of Glasgow, you currently live in the States, and you want to move to Scotland to complete your dissertation? Read More
Reverse Culture Shock by Guesposter58
Hmm. All last week I was back in the UK (mixing some work, with a short break). The last time I was back there was in November last year, and also the previous August. One thing I noticed this time though was I seemed to be suffering more from ...
After growing up traveling, so to speak, nearly every day I wonder "Where is home? Where WILL home be? and WILL there be home?" The questions keep me hungry for new experiences and knowledge, though; I don't think I'd have it any other way. But I ... Read More

Hi there ! I'm the french animator for the Scotland forum. We would like to set up an expat-blog meeting in Glasgow on the 21st of april, probably during the evening. This would be the opportunity to meet other expats and welcoming the "newbies" ...

I'm a newbie expat from San Fran Bay Area. I'll be there. April 22's the day after the oral defense for my doctorate, so I might be in a haze/daze. The Corinthian's cool (I've been there), though I've heard Arta (Merchant City) is nice with ... Read More

That's weird. I thought my last message was being posted in another forum. I didn't mean to "plug" my study on culture shock in expats a second time on this forum. I want to open the discussion up on the topic of loneliness. Being a habitual ... Read More

Carl Jung said: All the greatest and most important problems of life are fundamentally insoluble. . . . They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This outgrowing proved on further investigation to require a new level of consciousness. Some ... Read More
