VRC Austria: Vienna
Everything in Vienna always seems to be on a larger and grander scale than anywhere else in Europe. However, today was a rainy day and it got dark early. It was off-season and the two highlights of our day - Belvedere and Schonbrunn Palaces - did not show well.

Ooh, dear expat readers:You thought I was going to let you off the hook, didn't you' You thought I was going to put all of the onus on the Koreans who approach us, to defer to our cultural uniqueness, to be the one who comes to us, to adapt to our special situation.No flippin' way!Halfway through preparing this series, I realized just how high-handed, and totally unbalanced, the series was coming out to be... due to the fact I can really only present one expat's point of view, and generalize...

Walnut Wine and Truffle Groves The expat community in Belgium never ceases to amaze me with its creativity. Today I am pleased to present one such creative endeavour.

Great Expat and Travel Blogs
What's in your Google Reader' Today I'd like to draw a bit of your attention away from CheeseWeb and point it towards my ever growing blogroll. After stagnating for a year or so, I've recently discovered a whole batch of new and fabulous blogs. Many of these new blogs are from other expats here in Belgium. I thought I knew of most of the bloggers here, at least those in Brussels, but boy was I missing out. With the high expat turnover rate, especially in the capital, there always seems to...

Ask an Expat: Ice in drinks
In the comments from last week’s Ask an Expat, Julia left me this question: I think it's interesting that you want less from the U.S. I don't know what I'd miss the most if I left. Maybe ice since I hear that you can never get ice in your drink in Europe. Is that true' LOL, [...]

American Library Starts a Blog
Good news! The American Library in Paris, an expat membership institution, has just launched Browser, a blog covering expat subjects and literary news and events (and not just ones at the Library itself). An inaugural post announces an event worth planning for: Since the mid-1990s the Library has been fortunate to host the talented and inventive San Francisco performing arts company Word for Word for annual productions of American short stories. The stories are performed exactly as written ?...

A Paris Expat Podcast
Gui and I were recently invited to the top-secret, velvety-drape-lined K&K boudoir to be guests on the ever-popular podcast hosted by fellow Paris-based expats, Katia and Kyliemac. We've known these lovelies for some time now, having met them through the shrinking circle of expat friends that we've been lucky enough to have made here. They're a rather dynamic duo who dish the dirt on life as anglophone transplants in Paris and offer tidbits and advice on how to survive the often bittersweet...
