Just wanted to say hello and Happy Holidays! Just moved here from Australia with my wife. A little background: My wife is German, I'm American, lived in Australia for work only a few months before this wonderful opprotunity to work in Oostende, BE , prior to that lived in Germany. Livng in company leased house in Dunkirk until our house is ready in Gistel next week. So far, no major issues dealing with Belgian residency, vehicles, licenses, etc. Only concern was finding good doctor/birth center (baby due Feb) but we're ok now. Just browsing through the forums in case I've overlooked some detail, which I probably have with all the wheel spinning in the last few weeks! Thanks for listening!!
Welcome to EasyExpat! It has been a little quiet around here for the holidays, but 2013 is going to bring a whole host of articles, expat interviews, Twitter round-up, and guides. I hope you find them helpful and we look forward to your feedback and discussions. We would love to hear more about your experiences. How did you find your doctor/birth center? I would also refer you to the Expat Guide to Brussels for our complete guide. In addition, we are also looking for expat contributors on our new services site Expat-Quotes. If you are interested in sharing your experiences there, we would love to work with you. Best of luck and look forward to sharing more about your experiences.
