Hello

Any advice from anyone out there?

My wif'e an academic and engeneer and has lived in the U.k. for 25 years .We visit Sri Lnaka almost every year. We're in our early forties with a 4 year old daughter. I am a social work manager in Criminmal Justice.We both have postgraduate degrees.

if I got a reasonable opaid jonb in Sri LANKA then maybe my wife might be p[ersuaded to return to her homeland. She thinks I'm living in an ivory tower and ahave a romantic view of ythe country based on the holiday visits. My horoscope staes that i'd do well living in Colombo.We are coming accros quite afew refugees from Sri lanka arriving in Scotland living in crap housing schemes. I think they're mad.

I've not looked very hard for jobs but other than as a volunteer there doesnt seem much available in my field.

Glad to hear from anyone. I was in Colombo in February and we intend to spen a mponth there next January

Regards Alan(Mystic)
