This archived discussion is "read only".
» Arnvid - Home on the net... It's good children got excuses - like parents, for their traveling around.Great article (but I should maybe know:-)). So welcome to our travel section - you are in good company, enjoy ! And to all the readers - don't miss the coming articles either - I for one will not. So do like I did for all the travel topics, just hit the *subscribe* button. Then it's just to find the *what's new* button to see what's up... So take a stroll at the Suite Huw - we travel a lot here as you see. Further - you don't have to live as an expatriate here - it's a new home that will follow you around wherever you go ((-: -- posted by Arnvid » FlorenceC - Welcome to the Suite A warm welcome to Suite 101. And what a great first article. When my children were small (six of them!) we couldn't afford to travel very much or very far, but we would never have considered leaving them behind with family, or cancelled a trip because of them. Where we went,they went, and they are better rounded and better understand the world because of that.Flo -- posted by FlorenceC » billandlorna - Good Topic I never liked to consider myself an expat but after a couple of years at "home" I realized that like it or not I am an expatriate completely. We have alot in common; I'll be looking forward to reading your future articles. In August 99 we take off again after being based in the States since 95. We were based in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui in the early 80s and love Asia.-- posted by billandlorna » Huw_Francis - Expat living. Thanks for the welcome to suite101.Tsim Sha Tsui! I lived there for four months, in Mirador Mansions, just near the infamous Chungking Mansions. Anyway, any requests for this topic? I have some planned topics, but does anyone have anything special they want to know about? -- posted by Huw_Francis » GinnyYil - Moving abroad with children Hi everyone:We are a family of five (children ages 14, 11, and 8). My husband was born and raised in Turkey, but is now an American citizen who has not lived in Turkey for 16 years. I am an American who has visited Turkey once. We are now looking to move to Ankara for a new job my husband has gotten. I'm wondering how my children are going to adapt. None speaks much Turkish, but they are eager to learn. What are the major problems you think we will all face during this transition? Any ideas about schools that could be helpful? Is the inflation rate a concern? What are rents like in Ankara? I have many more questions, but this is a good start. Thanks for any and all suggestions! GinnyYil -- posted by GinnyYil
