Hi, If you're looking for English speaking friends, they is a huge international community in Toulouse (thanks airbus for this one). I guess you should be able to find people soon. I don't know this club, but may be worth to have a ... Read More

US citizen w/ carte de sejour francais and job offer in london, HELP!
Je ne pense pas qu'avec une carte de s茅jour francaise tu puisses aller en UK sans VISA. Il me semble que lors de mes voyages universitaires, les non ressortissants europ茅ens devaient payer un VISA pour aller en Grande-Bretagne (100聙 de m茅moire), ... Read More

Movies and books relating life in a foreign country by Julien
Hi, We've all seen Sofia Coppola's "Lost in translation", and I think expatriates liked it :) Would you advice other movies or books which relate life and experiences in a foreign country? Thank you, Julien
I will say "A year in the merde" by Stephen Clarke. It's not exactly a very good novel, but I find his perception of french's life really interesting. I read this book when I was abroad and it permited me to understand some french practices like ... Read More

Thanks you very much for your answer. I'm not afraid about the price of the flat because the company will pay my rent. I'm more afraid about the atmosphere and what I can do except than pub in Swindon. I'm used to live in Paris, and I think that ... 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 ...
In Germany, most of the people eat at 6pm. It's really early for me !!! For the midday's meal, they don't take an important break. Only 10-15 min. And the majority only have a sandwich. Read More
