Well, I thought I'd just update you as I wouldn't want you to think that I wasn't still enjoying my time here. I've been here for 5 months now. I am working 2 days per week giving me time for learning French and Algerian and time to spend with my husband too. I'm happy to help anyone who needs advice about moving to Algeria if I can but have no children so can't help with schools. There are plenty of English speaking girls here in Algeria from many different countries and this provides valuable support when required. I am independant as I drive here which makes life much easier, if not a little more risky!!!!!!! Wishing all of you contemplating a move here all the best and look forward to maybe communicating further in the future.
