2012 had a big start as we have fully updated our most popular guide: London (and England). With 185 pages (PDF) of information you will read the most complete guide to prepare your expatriation to England and the UK capital.
London has been a destination for almost as long as it's been a city. It
has attracted visitors, expats, and business from every continent with
it's attractions, people, opportunities, and vibrant atmosphere. It is
within the city that you can hear "the Queen's English", the rhymes of
cockney, and even the sing-songy accents of Indian English. The city is a
combination of everything you know about England and on the edge of
what is happening around the world. It is both a city of history, and a
city of tomorrow.

Expat Package Compensation
Erin
16 May, 2012 10:11
Work abroad offers the appeal of the exotic, a change in pace, and a cushy compensation package....or at least it did. Unfortunately, the last element is a thing of the past. Rarely do overseas positions offer the financial rewards they once did. That doesn't mean expat employees should be doing any worse once they move overseas.
Different methods of compensation are available to compensate the cost of working abroad. It is up to most expats to understand the different packages offered and what makes the most financial sense for them. (More)

Erin
07 May, 2012 15:30
Popular opinion won out in the French presidential election. François Hollande won the second round with 51.63 percent to current president, Nicolas Sarkozy's 48.37 percent. All major polling agencies had predicted the results of Hollande winning with 51.5 percent to 53 percent, based on projections made on the vote count at select voting stations around the country. French expats voted in favour of Sarkozy with 53,05% (but it is nearly 1 point less than in the last presidential election in 2007). Around 46 million French voters participated in the vote (19,65% abstention). (More)
