Well I'll be moving over to Ven in Jan or Feb 2010 (not long to go) from London UK.

I have made a friend via the Internet so will have some help settling in. But I also need to hook up with some expats to show me the ropes.

I have been here a little over one month and so far, the hardest part for me is adjusting to the way business is conducted here. I have learned that when I see something in the grocery store that I like with a long shelf life, stock up on it - it may not be back in the store for another month. I find people here to be very friendly and for the most part, patient with those with limited Spanish. But definitely, Spanish is a MUST.

Also, it is customary to always greet people (especially those you see somewhat frequently). Sometimes when I'm walking somewhere my mind is drifting to other thoughts and places when I realize someone just said "good afternoon". So, politeness is important.

That's all I got for now - I'm sure I'll have more to say in a few months.

Hi,

I am living on the outskirts of Caracas, accompagnying my venezoelan husband for a job experience. I am German and would like to get in contact with other expat's wifes - do you have an idea what I could do? As far as I can see, there is no expat network in Venezuela / Caracas, yet...

Thank you!
