As you will probably know by now, I have a real fascination for everything Spanish (my article on Hispanophilia will attest to that), so I headed over to Spain twice last year.

They are, therefore, forced to live in the various Gringolandias because they are too fearful...

Somehow we managed to survive some pretty severe bumps in the expatriation road.

I felt like Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians.As a newly-arrived expat in Thailand, I looked forward to seeing everything; from the Reclining Buddha to the gold-encrusted temples.
