Country Facts : Expat Help Needed July 25, 2008
Posted by Andie Summerkiss in Around The World.trackback
First, we would like to apologize for not posting these couple of weeks. Anita has been away and I have no excuse for myself.
We are currently planning on expanding the Forum, so for the mean time, we would like to ask for your help in getting information on your country of residence. It would be something like a country factsheet – preferably shorter and easier to understand than Wikipedia.org (which, by the way, is an excellent source). It would be great if you could add some “personal touch” like visa, residency issues, what to do on weekends, where to buy groceries, school for children, etc. If you can get some photos, that would be great.
These informations hopefully can be used to help a lot of other expats, who most of the time are clueless and also overwhelmed by the countless websites around who offer information, tips, etc.
So, if you are interested in chipping in, please send us email to indonesianexpat[at]yahoo[dot]com. You can also leave comment below.
I can help, but these facts would be according to my own knowledge and opinion LOL
did you guys ever try wikitravel? i don’t think it’s too bad

I can also help.
I’m still confused as to how/in what format I should provide the information. should it be in pdf/text/doc files or just a normal posting to this blog?
u can send me the details to my email address vara.jambak@gmx.net
Would love to contribute.. feel free to shout me at pralangga@un.org!
Hugs from West Africa…
I would like to add some practical info as well, AFAIK. If there is any template or format, please let me know at christin.rina@gmail.com
Or just post here in this blog with e-mail address to send, in case visitors would also like to contribute. Many thanks.
