However, with every new transfer, there are inevitably unexpected events and scenarios that are totally beyond anyone’s control. Here Patricia blogs their first days and weeks of a new posting in Western Sumatra, which demonstrate that the need of a sense of humour is sometimes the only common factor present during the transfer of an expat!

After spending the whole of the nineties at university, studying languages and astrophysics, she decided she'd had enough and went to work in the computer industry. Ostensibly employed as a technical writer, Eileen soon found that the satirical observations of her workmates which she posted on her Icky Picky of the Day mailing list were far more fun to write and reached a far wider and more appreciative audience than that of her technical manuals. So she quit her job, moved to Europe, and spent the next two years sight-seeing in summer, pretending to snowboard in winter, and writing in her spare moments. Eileen currently lives in Turin, Italy with her husband Glenn and their collection of fluffy animals." Paguro is proud to advertise her latest achievement, the children book "Penny the Pencil".
