Expat & Travel Stories - Bat stew, murder as an error of youth, sponsoring a villa that charges by the hour, and much more

Flying with a local blacklisted airline in the hands of drunken ex-Yugoslavian suicide pilots while holding a cool box on your lap, all to collect a few kilos of fresh chicken. Celebrating Valentine's Day with some local plastic roses. The offer of a very special 'blanket' to get through the night. An intoxicated gardener who sells the coconuts off your trees without your knowledge. Encounters with new friends who will never meet again, but who will never forget one another either.

Expats and other frequent travellers are an infinite source of amazing, hilarious, poignant and even horrifying stories and anecdotes. This book contains hundreds of accounts collected. You couldn't ever make these up, but you don't need to - because all these stories are a slice of life when you go travelling and settle abroad.

This book crosses borders in more ways than one. Read, laugh and shudder!

Repats - The forgotten expats

Repatriation is perhaps the hardest posting, according to many experts. The reason for this is that many expats underestimate what it means to come home after many years abroad. They prepare themselves thoroughly for assignments to foreign countries, but think there's nothing to learn about the return to their own country.
Nearly all expats ultimately repatriate, with all of the joy, as well as the disappointment, that goes with it. This disappointment may be prevented, to a great extent, if they realise beforehand that there is more to repatriation than simply getting on a plane back home. In this special, current and future repats will find all of the information they need to ensure that their homecoming is every bit as wonderful as they expect
