Hi all,
I'm a British ex-pat due to arrive in Athens in a couple of weeks. I have a job starting in September & my Vietnamese wife will be joining me a few weeks after I settle in. Neither of us have been to Greece before, so it should be a great adventure. However, as we have lived in Hanoi for a good while, which is the hectic, noisy & traffic crazy capital of Vietnam, I am expecting us to be able to settle into Athens pretty easily, as it should be a home from home.

Hi All, we're both nicely settled here now & both have our residence papers. We spent Christmas up in Pelion & are loving life in Athens, thanks for asking Concertina.
