Algeria: VISA,Immigration & Paris:
Hi,
Since your message has been written on april 1ste, it really sounds like April Fools' Day! but I assume you are not joking and I am sorry to hear that. There is great resctriction in Europe and everywhere in the world about immigrant and people who marry only to get papers. Don't get me wrong I am not deducting anything I beleive in your story but they don't. I think it has nothing to do with Algerian although there have been taking some precaution about North african's badly. You could go your self and ask them if there is a real problem. If there is really nothing wrong with your husband's papers and any other administrative stuff then you can complain, yes, press charges to the police if you are in some of those countries with human rights!!! that is the only thing I can advice you to do right now; other then that, you should have prove of every document you carried before and after the wedding... and I wish you great luck and hopefully evertything will be fine, it does always in the end.
Just believe in it.
Sincerely
Natalie

Dear madam,
what ever you go and live in the world and you are happy, then, this is the place to be. If you are having doubts, then take more time and think about it carefully. You are not happy in the UK and you want to move somewhere else? in Algeria or else where? then do it, No one will guarantee you happiness and well being, however one of the question you should ask your self is : What am I going to do there?, do you have a job, do you have a husband waiting for you, or a promise from that kind? do you have anything that motivates you for going there? If you have answers to all these questions then I think you are ready and you can just start to think about a new life in Algeria. No one can advice you to take such big decision, in the end, only you, know what is best for you. However, Algeria is a great country to live in if you have money, friends or relatives, or colleague from work, job, or something..etc
then you will be in an other different beautiful country; but you probably stop comparing every situation you live in with the one you have -or had- in UK because that will make your life miserable and you will miss out the fun and the important things that come a long , which is life just live life the way it came and be positive and everything will be fine. every country is different, has an other culture a way of living and other political issues, we have to deal with them thats all. You will be fine I am sure. About furniture and stuff like that, this is the easy part when you figure out the big questions, furniture are just furniture.
I wish you all the best and think carefully. Good luck.

Algeria: Moving to Algiers in New Year:
Hi there...
I just want to add, that it is not true: that the prices are lower than European standards, not true..maybe it seems that way in the beginning, but then you will see that the prices are almost as expensive or higher as in Europe and salaries over their are low, a huge gap, but then if your salary is higher you won't notice the difference. Good luck
Algeria: Working in Constantine:
Hi there,
You should this as an oppportunity for you, in your life and in your career. No place in the world is save. But i can assure you that Algeria right now is OK to live in and to have normal life, you should make a little effort in your part and make it easier for your self..follow the flow (if you know what I mean) I have already said stuff about Algeria in my old previous message, please check that, as well as the one of other people who has been asking the same question over and over again even if some already had answes, I just don't get it.
Just be your self, and enjoy your days in there, after all you might love it if you will build a good social life or professiona onel. Don't worry, there is worse elsewhere right? Constantine is a very beautiful city, you'll be suprised.. Ok? take care now
Bye.

Algeria: 2008 possible return to Algeria:
Hi there,
I feel so bad for you,and about you going in there; really. All I can say is, like i have done it with others before, is to follow your instincts, your heart, and make the right decisions. Do not go if that's will make you so unhappy, you will not have a good time at all. Because the familly there if you think they are too crowded for you and noisy etc (which is true), they would'nt change beleive me, unless you have your own place, private with you and your familly; you would get your peace of mind; in the other hand the country did improved indeed in many ways. still of course a lot to be ajusted there in term of freedom, security and so on.
You know, it is very difficult to advice someone who already had a bad experience, so what i suggest is to relax and think about it and if you have a skype account we can maybe chat and talk about stuff like that or email me at beautifulbeast99@hotmail.com.
I am ALG/Dutch,and have experience with the country.Don't hesitate. No need to panic there is always a nice things to do, to see in Algeria, the problem is, if you don't know people you'll be living in your own world getting crazy...
Cheer-up there is worse..(countries).Talk to you later. Greeting.

Algeria: Possible move to Algiers:
hi guys,
I am just suprised that you could'nt find cappuccino!,I am just laughing right now, in fact you can find it every where I love it too.Well, where have you been then?Ok, tip: in opposite of the post office(grande poste) in Algiers there is a corner cafe, near the flower shop, there, they do serve nice cappucino.If you want better quality then go to hotels, most of them,...mamamia! coffee as it should!nad it goes the same if you are in Oran,...
I have been listening to these conversation since a while now, and all i can feel from that,is fears, and fears again and aigain....I can understand that,especially for some one who has been living european life of american or different life...but still
Don't be afraid to move in unknown places, it's just an experience in your life as others; however if you have bad feeling about it,then don't do it, you won't be happy. Stop comparing, it's fun!there will be always different stuff, in fact evry thig is diffrent from you where you come from.In the other hand some of you guys, move with familly,(husband, children)you are not alone, this is a good thing because you'll be with your family, it 's suppose t be, "all that matters" but still I do understand the feeling.I would worry if i had children, just because it's new.Algeria is great country beleive me especially if you are finacially confortable.Activities, like cinema theater and so on, are limited there, but still for the french and arabic speaking there are lots of arts expos, as well as some theater opening in a season.Anyway; get in touch with your ambassy, you will know all about living in Algeria, and being happy! yes it does exist.Good luck everyone.

Algeria: Living in Algeria:
Hello,
I have just seen your message and I am very interrested, iin what business are in? I would like to know more about it, in order to help you, or help each other. I am Algerian I live in the Netherlands and I am hoping to get in contact with people In Algeria to do business and since I have experience doing business over there, I would like to get back and work again.
Renting, especially in Algiers is a little expensive, it depends of the area where you're in so an estimation from 1000 euro and up can be less too.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards
Natalie
Algeria: Doing business in Algeria:
Hi
In Algeria you can feel free to be a normal business man/women in the `French European manner, you do not have to use a lot of protocols, handshaking, no kiss unless you know each other for a long time, hugs are common too, they are a sign of appreciation. Also used when you know each other and mainly with men without being homosexual. Dinner is proposed if the bargain is a big deal or the business is doing well, do not always think of a Muslim country where they will automatically have tea, Algerians drink alcohol especially in the business world, but better dont be the initiator, it's like watch first and then act. That is business on the high level, but if you are just shopping, its a different issue, you can do almost as Khaled says (in his old message). Bargain, touch the merchandise, even making jokes and being friendly is appreciated, besides, merchants are usually funny and nice, but be careful when you are foreign they could double the price for you sometimes, because they think you can afford it so do not hesitate and bargain toughly. Of course you can joke, smile, every thing is allowed if not exaggerated, so dress normally, no bourka, and no swimsuit either, I used to do every thing and was happy, because you need to open up to other cultures its an enrichment, and be positive and god knows how it could be hard for an independent single woman, so my last advice is: be on your qui-vive eyes wide shut if you know what I mean, ha ha
