Websites and Blogs

With so much information on the web it’s amazing how often we are confronted by unforseen challenges daily. Perhaps that’s the charm of being an expat. To help you plan for the unexpected, check out the following blogs and websites. This is not a complete list but most have links to like minded bloggers.
NOTE: Many have not been updated. Addresses have changed and prices have gone up, (or down). Try to link into a discussion forum with people on the ground. Their contributors should be knighted for their support. Thanks to you all !
