Greetings from Deutschland by CLGinDE
I just found this very cool site a few days ago and added my blog (An American Expat in Deutschland) to the directory. I'm an American (L.A. -> D.C. -> RIchmond, VA -> Durham, NC) who married a German and moved to Germany (Berlin -> Rostock -> ...
Hello Christina! Welcome. I'm also an American living in Germany. I moved to Munich 11 months ago and love it. It's always nice to read the experiences of another U.S. expat's blog living in Germany. BTW: Great Pictures of the WC. Take ... Read More
Your favourite plugins/addons for your blogs by Julien
Which are your favourite plugins /addons for your blog? Are you using technorati, flickr, geoloc, frappr and other plugins?
I like the neocounter [www.neoworx.net], which shows which countries visit your site. When you hover over the country name, it shows its location on a side map. A geography lesson on your blog is a great tool. Read More
Friends & family back home by sapphos
Sometimes I feel like I must be crazy to move to Buenos Aires :rolleyes:, especially if I were to listen to people that I know. I've been met with the same responses from almost (but not all) everyone I know. I hear things like, "oh that's ...
Before I left the USA to live in Germany. My boss's boss told me, "You've learned English for 20-some odd years. Why would you want to start to learn another language?" It's definitely hard to explain to others why we move to another country when ... Read More

TheIndianExpat by TheIndianExpat
Hi members, Thanks to Julien of expat-blogs, I am here on the forum. I have lived in the Philippines, India and am now based in Singapore. I am Indian by nationality but as a mother I face the same challenges that any other expatriate family faces ...
Hello and Welcome. I'd love to visit the Philippines some time, being that my mom emgrated from there. Good Luck in Sinapore! Read More

How long have you been far away?? by Mandy
Hi everyone!!! All of us here are travelling a lot away from our country trying to find either a nice job, a nice experience, or just simply a nice way of living...away from our home country! I wondered how many years you all had been abroad? ...

Introducing myself by ceci
:) Hi, I`m Ceci. I come from Argentina and live in Germany since 1988. I came as an "au-pair" and decided to stay here and marry a german man. It would have been great to have such a possibility to share experiences with other expats on that time. ...
Hi Ceci! I'm new to expat forum as well and just moved to Germany. Interesting, that you still consider yourself an expat even though you've lived in Germany since '88. Would you say it's hard to integrate in Germany...or vis versa, german citizens ... Read More
Why did you move to a foreign country? by Julien
The first poll of the expat forum! It is associated to this post: /forum/viewtopic.php?id=27 Did you move for professional reasons, for your studies, because you really wanted to (you move without a job), or for any other ...
My boyfriend, who is german, already spent 2 years in Texas. I had no prior experience with Europe other than a high school graduation trip to London...and that's a stretch, being that it is an island. He spoke English better than most newscasters. ... Read More
Dinner hours by Katie
I have a simple question: What time do you all eat dinner - the evening meal? I was just in the U.S. and the television ads would have me believe that the ideal is to walk in the door (home from work), go directly to the table and eat. When I ...
My eating habits are sunlight dependent, rather than locale dependent. Summers denote late dinner, Winters early. Although being on a higher latitude in Germany than in Florida, the sun sets pretty late already and its only Spring. Okay...I eat ... Read More
von Florida nach Bayern by heza
Hello Everyone, If you asked me 10 years ago if I thought I would move to Germany to learn a new language and study thermodynamics at a Germany University, I'd say no way. I only studied Spanish for 2 years and I was think of Cuba or South America ...
Thanks for the welcome! @Julien's Question When I decided to move, did I speak german? Er, no. I didn't even know "Gesundheit" was german. But I studied the language on my own for about a year before the actual move with books and tapes. It could ... Read More
