I hope you all had a lovely Christmas period and enjoyed the festivities! All the moderators and myself wish you a very happy new year 2006.

In the category of (bad) surprises, some of you saw that the server hosting EasyExpat was hacked (defacing) on the 26th evening (pfff no respect for the Xmas break anymore!). A few pages were not available but I was able to correct most of it on Wednesday and the rest a few days later. Nothing major at least and I hope that you took advantage of that slow down to get some rest, because the year 2006 is going to be hectic on EasyExpat for sure! (you can subscribe to the NewsLetter to be updated with news)

In the meantime, I remind you that you can open your free blog on EasyExpat. Isn't it a good new year resolution for 2006?

And if you ever fancy a break and going on holiday, you will find everything on Easy Expat Travel.

Best wishes for 2006! :salute:
