About adminee

I founded Expat Exchange in 1997. The site has changed a lot since then, but our fundamental goal of using the internet to help expats help one another has remained the same. I continue to be amazed by the generosity and supportive nature of expats -- they truly go out of their way to help one another.

Ecuador Welcome Forum: WTF:

Thank you for starting this thread, but I need more details in order to fix the issue. Please explain what is wrong with the thread in detail. The threads are working for me... so it's very difficult for us to fix when we have no idea what is actually going wrong. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Colombia: Posts are disappearing!:

We have been making some technical changes to improve speed. My guess is that this is the cause. Can you give a few examples of the posts that disappeared? Are they from one member? We'll look into it!

Ecuador Welcome Forum: Site Speed... feedback needed:

We're testing various ways of improving the speed of our site. However, the page loading speeds vary by location -- and the speeds that I see up her in New Jersey are different than in Ecuador. If you could take a few minutes to let me know how the site is performing (simply form a speed perspective) this afternoon. I would greatly appreciate the feedback!!!!

Mexico: School or tutors for a child with dyslexia:

I have a feeling you'll be able to work it out - especially since you are going to be there for a set time period. I have a child with Dyslexia and know how important it is to have a great tutor with Orton Gillingham training. I just started to search google for "Mexico City Orton Gillingham". I found this document from the US State Dept: https://www.state.gov/documents/organization/176076.pdf It includes a section about schools in Mexico City and special education services. I tried to cut and paste that section, but it was formatted strangely. Here are some of the many schools mentioned in the above document: http://www.westhillinstitute.edu.mx/special_ed.html https://www.asf.edu.mx/learning/sas I would contact all of the schools in the area. Plus, if you can find a reading specialist with OG training / certificate to tutor privately, that may be all you need for your stay. Hope this helps! Betsy Burlingame Expat Exchange

Philippines: Culture Shock Report Submitted by Someone on the Furm:

We started a contest today and the first 5 people to submit qualified Culture Shock Reports receive $25 amazon gift certificates via e-mail. For details on the contest, read today's Foreign Exchange newsletter. An expat in the Philippines submitted a qualified report, but the form wasn't updated correctly to collect his/her e-mail address. If you were that person, e-mail me at betsy@expatexchange.com and describe a few things about yourself that you said in the report (i.e. what city/area you were reporting on, your gender and what you volunteered as when you first arrived in the Philippines). So sorry for the inconvenience - you'll get your gift certificate as soon as we hear from you! Betsy Burlingame Expat Exchange
