World Top 50 by juleslvd
I would like to create a World TOP 50, we all live in different countries! And what I really like when I got to live in a news country is to listen to the music every one like here! It's a good way to meet people interest!!! You chose one of the ...
Good idea, julesvd ;) The only thing is : I don't really listen the music/popular radios here, just because I'm more into hard-rock/metal/blues, and I listen webradios such as HardRockin' 80's, Pirate Radio or Progged Radio (on iTunes). VF : Bonne ... Read More

it's been quiet... by dmscvan
It seems as if it's been rather quiet around here lately. So what's everyone been kept busy with? For me it's my thesis... Some guesses: many are too busy watching the World Cup to wander the expat forum... many are enjoying the start of summer ...
Not in holidays too (don't have time for that), but we have a lot of work (as usual, i know ;) )... but I visit this board twice a day :) Read More
Zidane vs Materazzi by awa@lecce
Being French in Italy, it was quite difficult to make understand that I was a tifoso of the 2 teams. :thanks: Today, all of them make the joke of the Zidane's headbutt... Funny at the beginning but it becomes to be a bit annoying. I even heard that ...
I read on Yahoo Sports that Materazzi will be sanctionned too... Read More
photo managing utility software by Sench
IrfanView is usually enough for simple editting on your photos; and it allows you do a nice slide display with a background sound. The output is an .exe file, which can be run even if you do not have the software. I discovered UTube does not allow ...

World Cup!! by Jo Ann
Yep! I'm a huge fan of Football (soccer) World Cup. But it's impossible to have one and only favourite team! At least for me! :P For example, I've always been for Brazil because Angola and Brazil are very linked by history and boy do they know how ...
Another victory for France vs Brazil : 1-0 :p Read More

I totally agree with Gary, about having hisd own job (same for me since march 2000) :) But Julien, be aware that, in France, there is a lot of taxes and things like that, and you need to pay around 50% of your income... And I think a style switcher ... Read More

It could be interesting to share our experience in that too :) Which platform or software are you using for your blog? Are you happy with it? Are you hosting your pictures on a separate system (such as flickr)? What about multimedia files, such ...
