Dutch snow or more Thai sunshine for Lioords?

Hello everyone,

Cha-am's traffic intersection

Buffaloes of Cha-am

The rumours that we are planning to come to Netherlands are spreading slowly and gradually and of course they are true. Two weeks ago a relocation company visited our place in Ladphrao Bangkok and they packed our furniture (about half of it) which is now stored somewhere in a warehouse in Samutphrakan and ready to be shipped to Holland. So the situation is that we left Bangkok and at the moment we are staying in our small house in Cha-am. Juliette is much occupied preparing visa, birth certificates and other stuff for Holland while I am working at the university with the final exams starting next week. Planning our way to Amsterdam is absolutely not easy for us. We try hard but we fail harder! but as a result we have to stay longer together as a family, near nice beaches in this comfortable tropical climate. Some of you might start thinking we do this on purpose and that we are afraid of snow but the truth is that there are many rules for Chinese people to get visa and work permit for The Netherlands. And being in bureaucratic not to well-organised Asia doesn’t speed up the progress. So as we are approaching Chinese New Year it is very likely that Juliette can’t have her documents ready until the second week of March. Keeping in mind that we are not great planners we dare to tell you that we ‘plan’ to go all together to The Netherlands in the second week of March.
