Can you imagine the language test for ex pats, jeje, that would put a spike in many peoples plans.
Hey Pedro, glad you introduced the Mrs to the UK or has it restricted your movement now she is there? Give it time, she will learn to hate it!
Talk about bitter/sweet!!
A few observations -
She loves it for now and since she figured out driving on the correct side of the road, everybody's movement is more or less unrestricted.
Making a living here has taken us back to basics.
It is a good job I am not a proud man.
There is a shortage of regular jobs so we are buying and selling from auctions at the moment - this is OK as she can really see how money is made - she now understands that the streets are not paved with gold.
She was quite impressed but a little shocked when I went out as a labourer to make some cash and came back all dirty and covered in cuts and bruises.
She freaked out when she realised that I could cook!
She likes automatic washing machines.
She loves curry - at first she would not touch it but now she is addicted.
Skype is critical for staying in touch with the Americas.
She still feels uncomfortable seeing me do housework so I do the hoovering when she is out - she just does not get the carpet/hoover thing.
For me - I have reminded myself why I left the UK - weather, rules, expense etc.
We want to visit the D.R. as AI touristas for a couple of weeks in October/November.
My very real fear is that I will not be able to make myself get back on the plane home.
It is thought that the biggest mistake a bloke can make is taking his foreign wife home - maybe it is too early to tell (5 months) but she is being a good sport about not having the condo/beach lifestyle any more.
I mean whatever anyone says, having lunch and cocktails at a quiet restaurant on the beach in the Caribbean is a special thing no matter how used to it one gets.
It is me who is struggling with that.
