Sallycat: 5 as your hubby is Japanese and you live in Japan. Ish: I guess 6 would be quite right, 7 would be only in case you both lived apart in different countries. Sorry for the headache caused by this one ;) Read More
How is life in China? by Julien

Woah Henry, Reading a blog like yours everyday is a sure way to immune oneself against the will to go and live in China... Good work, though, somebody has to do it... TC Read More

Expatriate or Immigrant? by Julien
Hi, after reviewing wikipedia's definition of the word expatriate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expatriate I realized the difference between an expatriate and an immigrant. And there are "global nomads" too ... What do you think you are? I think I ...
Jo Ann, Thanks a lot ;) Usually my ramblings attract nothing more than a polite silence... :rolleyes: @ bientôt Read More

Well, this is an old question we asked on this forum... It depends I guess from which point of view you ask it : For my gouvernement : I'm one of the 2 millions French citizen leaving abroad For fellow expats : well... I'm an expat For the friends ... Read More

Clogs and blogs by Nicola66

Gryphon, I would say 5 since your better half's dark half is Mexican. And your dark half is not. BUT could be 3 if your better half considers she's more bright side than dark side. It's a matter of choice really...but don't underestimate the ... Read More

Coucou from Aix-en-Provence, France by belishabeacon
It's not fair. It snowed yesterday morning but now all we have is wind/rain and not snow. Wind! And rain. What can one do when it's raining and windy? At least you can fling snow to passers-by. In this case, though, I'm the one being flung around by ...
