Greetings! Come in, come in! I'll take your coat, if you are wearing one - pull up a chair and stay awhile. Heck, even go barefoot if you like :)
I am so glad you are here. It wouldn't be the same without you!
Cup of tea?

Ooh, I can't wait to hear all about the lovely places expat bloggers now call home.
Transport us through your words and photos. I know we will love it!

I hope you don't mind that I brought a few desserts to share. I just couldn't choose one, so I brought them all!
A few party rules...
Guests :: Everyone is invited to read and enjoy the party :)
VIPs :: Please only link a post if you are an expat. Your post can be anything about your hosting country.
Logistics :: Follow the instructions to register your link below. Contact me if you need help.
Linky Love :: Mention my blog with a link in your post so others can join the fun (as a courtesy, but not required)
Party Mixer :: Visit a few of the other links and say 'hi' - because it's more fun to meet others at a party
And without further ado, take it away... Thank you for coming!

I'm no expat but I can't wait to live vicariously through everyone else :)
Cheers!

What a great idea, I'll look forward to reading them all. Thank you for hosting.
Bonjour Laura,
This will be fun. I love meeting other expats, and hearing how they 'fit in'! Merci for hosting us all.
Mimi
Thanks for hosting Laura!
I had much fun crafting my post. Looking forward to others!
Laura, I really wanted to join this awesome party but my digital photo storage just refused me access! i know, i really hope to can get all my photos back!!!
Wow that was beautiful.
Thanks for the fun! So nice to 'meet' everyone.
Thank you so much for doing this! Looking forward to some new reads :)
Hey Laura, Good luck for today...it's a fantastic idea..I've already learnt a german swear word!! Robx
Another brilliant idea, sweet Laura. I wish I were an ex-pat so I could join in! I'm off to have some fun now ☺. J x
Oh I want to come to the party Im not an ex pat but those yummy desserts have got me hungry....tea no sugar please, oh & the sun is shining this morning x
Hi Laura, you know I will come over to the party, have to do some mama errands first, and my hair! what a mess! Can not show to a party looking like this, so I will come over later ok? Have fun hon, looks like more people are joining!

Ok, I just made a post and link about your party, hope more people will come, see you later Laura, Mxx
I didn't make it this week, but I'm off into NY tomorrow, so I'll take my camera and link up next week. Great idea Laura. So happy, that others are finding your well researched, well written and entertaining blog. You'll be at a 1000 in no time. Lx
Laura,
I love your party. I am not an expat, but I will try to do a linky-do for you if I can get some blogging time this weekend.
I adore that first photo. LOVE it.
I look forward to reading all of these...and making new friends. It will take me days, and days....to read. What fun!
What gorgeous images! I wish I could contribute a post.
What a terrific idea. I can't wait to dive into them!
Great idea! Love it! Have added my contribution.
Phew, just made it to the party in time...just before the clock strikes midnight here in Australia. I was having too much fun reading the other guest entries that I almost forgot that I needed to write one too!

Hi Laura, what fun! A great idea! I've added my link about Portuguese design, now I'm off to read what other ex-pats have to say!
Great idea, I am just about to link up and then hop around the world! I am here thanks to my friend at Daydream Living.
Expat? Hmm ... Well, I was born in the US but I live in the England in my head! :)
I am fashionably late to your party so all apologies! I have brought with me a big fat bag of tootsie rolls, kraft mac & cheese, and a box of PROPER fig newtons (virtually because they are all the things I miss from the States that I can't get in the UK) ;)
I've linked up a post about my weekend in London so hope that applies and made sure to link back here! What a lovely idea though, really looking forward to having a nose through everyone's entries! xxx
Thanks for hosting the party! And OH MY GOD, totally drooling over all those cakes in that photo, how beautiful. You know I have issues with the baking department (well, particularly the icing/frosting department!) here in Belgium!
Off now to read up on all the blogs, after surviving my 4th inburgering class all day...

Thanks for doing this! Ashleigh
Goood Evening Miss Laura!
Yep, I know, fashionably late, but in the US it's still in the middle of the day, right? And you where probably not sleeping anyway, with all these guest to entertain and all...
Put my two cents in the link, love this idea, hope you will do it another time, thanks for the drinks and cake, yummy! Now I need to get hopping to some other lovely expat girls,
See you sweetie,
Maureen xx
Oh, and thanks for being such a lovely hostess.
Hello, just found your blog and what a great idea this party is. I'm a German expat living in the US. Cheers
Hi Laura,
I just got mine up (very late in the day). Can't wait to visit some others expats!
Melissa xx
Hi lovely Laura,

It's Hawaii.
Laura, thanks for the fun party! It's a great way to connect expat bloggers out there. I've got to meet some wonderful bloggers thanks to you. I hope you had a nice weekend! Hugs, Kaho
I just wanted to let you know that I just posted about your link party on my blog so that it's easy to notice for some other readers to come visit you from my blog.
I made it via Ashleigh's Spain blog, but I'm a day late! Oh well! I must say it's a great idea!

Laura, I'm back again! Apparently the rapeseed is only planted every other year by the farmers as they give the fields a break in between. So it might be your turn in your area this summer! Robx
Thank you for sharing. Ooh those goodies look so good. Did you make them all. Right now I am working on learning to use my pictures on my computerm so I just write what comes in my mind (nothing offensive). I am glad I came across your blog:)
Hi Laura, hope its not too late to link up!
Oh, Laura. I was so looking forward to this, then I got behind. I hope I'm fashionably late, rather than oops.
Lovely party,
Laura and the
desserts are
divine. I'm
so excited to
visit many of
your guests : )
Happy Monday!
xx Suzanne
PS: My aunt
and uncle just
arrived in London
and I just about
fell off my chair
laughing at some
of the stuff they
have already encountered.
Know that YOU could
relate!
I'm so bummed that I missed this but I look forward to reading all of the participants' blogs! What a fun idea.

Wonderful idea for a party, Laura! I've had such fun looking through the links, being virtually transported to all the lovely places!
