An Expat's Yarn: November 2009
http://anexpatsyarn.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Life, Work, Love and Yarn. Wednesday, 18 November 2009. Christmas at the New Year. I was recently asked by Brian at Istanbulblogger. An Englishman in Istanbul, I'm very excited to say - how I would be celebrating Christmas. You know, it's been so long since I've spent Christmas in London that I don't even remember when to celebrate it! The reason being, there are no Christmas holidays over here, understandably. So, when you have children in school you can't just take them away for two weeks. I recently c...

An Expat's Yarn: October 2009
http://anexpatsyarn.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Life, Work, Love and Yarn. Thursday, 22 October 2009. Why do expats become creative? I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it seems all of the expats I come across are involved in creative businesses, entrepreneurship or writing. A lot of expats have already written about this, so I won't expand into psychology too much. But, it's something which really fascinates me.

An Expat's Yarn: September 2009
http://anexpatsyarn.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Life, Work, Love and Yarn. Monday, 28 September 2009. Perhaps, everyone has an opportunity to enhance their better qualities when they are themselves in unfamiliar surroundings. Of course, it could always be sheer desperation. Actually, this is a nice thing. Nice for him that he suddenly has these people who speak the same language to rally round for him, and nice for us that we have one more shiny new friend. In what other situation would you ever see this happen with no ulterior expectations? Half Engl...

An Expat's Yarn: December 2009
http://anexpatsyarn.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Life, Work, Love and Yarn. Tuesday, 8 December 2009. Suicidal driving in Turkey. As for drivers here in Turkey, driving is a case of bad, worse and downright suicidal. Last weekend I counted every 7 out of 10 drivers and passengers. Wearing seatbelts despite it being mandatory. The number of women who obstinately sit in the front seat with their baby or child on their lap is so ridiculously high it's obscene. In any case, children are always sitting in the front, no matter their age. After splitting my s...

An Expat's Yarn: February 2010
http://anexpatsyarn.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Life, Work, Love and Yarn. Wednesday, 3 February 2010. Last week I was thrilled to write a guest post for expat HAREM. The hub for global citizens. It's difficult, at first, to put such a myriad of cultural considerations, feelings and experiences together in a few short sentences for such a large readership. especially one which consists of people with similar nomadic features and with such a broad range of experiences. A readership which is very strong and self-defining. Labels: capital of culture.

An Expat's Yarn: Different year, same place
http://anexpatsyarn.blogspot.com/2010/01/different-year-same-place.html
Life, Work, Love and Yarn. Monday, 11 January 2010. Different year, same place. I go through the same ritual every year. I make the decision to start preparations to go back. Back to England. "It's time", I always say. "This is the year.". And then I get caught up in just making it through the routine schedule of the week; school runs, work; another project; holidays; just another something which keeps us here yet longer. 15 April 2010 at 09:48. 24 April 2010 at 15:15.
