As autumn slinks into the northern hemisphere, the parties are still going strong. Here’s a round up of the some of the fascinating, fun and downright rowdy festivals happening around the world this October.
Boat Racing Festival, Laos
14th – 15th October
This festival is held after the end of the monks’ three-month fast and retreat during the rainy season. Dawn sees temples packed with devotees offering donations. The evenings are for festivities. Join in the numerous candle-light processions and enjoy the sight of hundreds of colourful floats decorated with flowers, incense and candles as they are set adrift down the Mekong River to pay respect to the river spirit
Diwali, India
17th October
This is one of India’s most popular festivals. Dubbed the Festival of Lights, the country is taken over by five days of festivities, fireworks, colours and lamps. People light diyas or traditional lamps in their homes and prayers are offered to the Goddess of Wealth. Gifts are exchanged and sweets and rich food are the order of the day.

Dubbed as one of the hippest festivals on the East Coast, the Lake Eden Arts Festival is a treat for the eyes and soul. Set amidst the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, streams, lakes and natural beauty meet music and art making it a truly memorable experience.
Solstice at Abu Simbel, Egypt
22nd October
The temples of Abu Simbel are the main reason that tourists flock to this part of Egypt and the area's main festivals and historical events relate to the Temple of Ramses ll. Twice a year in spring and autumn, the temple is a source of major excitement, when the strong sunlight penetrates the temple's inner sanctuary and illuminates the four statues of the gods, which reside deep within the temple. Catch the excitement on 22nd October when you can witness the shafts of sunlight slowly creeping some 200 feet until the statues are effectively in the natural spotlight.
Halloween, USA
31st October
Though mainly celebrated in the USA, Halloween has now become the excuse for many a costume party around the world. So pull out a scary costume, match it with a mask, carve up a pumpkin and join the Halloween fun.

The world famous Horse Festival held in Tissa is not just for horse lovers. Culture lovers and time travelers will rejoice as well. Originally, held in honour of Sidi Muhammad ben Lahcen, a man of God of the 15th century, it has now become an elaborate horse show set in a medieval theme. Men come to show off their pure bred Arabian stallions, Barbary mares and the Arab-Berber horses. They compete for prizes, wear elaborate costumes and show off their mounts. One to check out if you’re in the neigbourhood.
Oktoberfest, Munich, Germany

In these 16 days, the population of Munich almost doubles. And with good reason. Beer lovers from around the world are drawn to the Oktoberfest to drink, party and celebrate and pay tribute to their favourite ale. Join in this Bavarian party and don’t forget your lederhosen and drendils.

INTERVIEW: Research on the importance of international work experience for the career of managers and professionals
easyexpat
15 September, 2009 14:19
Presentation
We are a joint multinational research team: Dr. Maike Andresen from Helmut-Schmidt-University Hamburg/Germany, Dr. Torsten Biemann from Jacobs University Bremen/Germany and Dr. Marshall Pattie from James Madison University/USA.
Can you talk a bit about your activity?
We are doing research in the field of expatriation encompassing those persons who were assigned to a foreign subsidiary by their employer as well as those who relocated on their own initiative and search themselves for a new employment abroad.
Can you talk about your project?
In our current project we are exploring the importance of international work experience for the career of managers and professionals. Although many employers stress the importance of international skills in times of globalization, many expatriates report about problems during and especially after their deployment abroad.
The objective of this study is the identification of factors that make the expatriation successful on the long run for both the expatriate and the corporation.
We want to ask them with the help of an online-questionnaire about their personal global career, their career expectations and important parameters.
What do you offer to participants?
Each participant, if interested, receives individual feedback and an executive summary after the online survey will be finished.
Who can participate in the survey?
We focus on managers and professionals currently living and working in a foreign country or those that returned home.
What needs to be done to participate?
The following link leads to our online-questionnaire: http://www.unipark.de/uc/fb_expats/
It takes about 15 minutes to complete the survey.
Anonymity is completely guaranteed. The data will be deleted after completion of the study.
Since the quality of the study depends on the sample size, we would be grateful if you forward this information to other expatriate colleagues.

Easy Expat in Portuguese / EasyExpat em Português

After Russian, Polish and Dutch, we are expanding the number of languages on EasyExpat. We are proud to announce that all our articles and
sections are available in Portuguese,
beside the existing English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish and
Dutch languages. All sections including classifieds, jobs and tools are also
available in Portuguese (with the exception of the forums, still in the 5
different languages which are available for posting).
Portuguese is a Romance language derived from the Latin spoken by the romanized Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula around 2000 years ago. It spread worldwide in the 15th and 16th centuries as Portugal established a colonial and commercial empire (1415–1999) which spanned from Brazil in the Americas to Goa and other parts of India, Macau in China and Timor (north of Australia).
Today it is one of the world's major languages, ranked 6th according to number of native speakers (between 191 and 230 million). It is the language of about half of South America, essentially with Brazil. It is also a major lingua franca in Portugal's former colonial possessions in Africa (official language in nine countries) also being co-official with Cantonese Chinese in the Chinese special administrative region of Macau, Tetum in East Timor and Spanish and French in Equatorial Guinea.

Polish is a West Slavic language and the official language of Poland. Its written standard is the Polish alphabet which corresponds basically to the Latin alphabet with a few additions.
The language is spoken by about 56 millions people. Ethnic Poles constitute significant minorities in Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine.
