I thought summer was supposed to be hot

Where has July gone? It's been so rainy and cold that it seems like later in the year.

Bad weather or no, there are more immigration reforms in the works. Belgium has added some beneficial regulations, Sweden is talking about some reforms and even France is fleshing out regulations passed last year. I'll be putting together a separate publication that should go up quite soon with some of the legal changes that we've noticed or that are slated to come up in the near future.

I've spent most of the month straightening out some of the writing wrinkles in the DIYExpat Guide and a couple of the other publications which we have. Those changes go up this weekend.

Major Update
