 We tried to spend most of out times outdoors during the autumn vacation and were lucky for the nice weather. The fog, mist and autumn colours are really a delight during this time of the year. Every time we look outside we find joy and calm. As part of our family tradition, we baked something and cooked all the meals at home these days, because we love how the foggy and wintery atmosphere outside makes the indoor time a little more special than it already is. I am not keeping the up to date information on the blog because..well, who cares. But I will just say we are thankful for everything and were so happy that the seasonal colds and flus left our household two weeks ago so this little vacation did not catch us all sick or in recovery mode. As for tips and ideas how to spend Halloween here is what we usually do: - decorate a pumpkin - make a lampion and then scare ourselves indoors every evening for a few days - we wear costumes, make noises and use glow in the dark sticks, whatever

 During our 12 years stay in here I think the most often asked question from both expat parents and not parents is: "how to find a good dentist (for children)? Preferably English speaking." I have absolutely no professional background or the skills to tell anyone what is right/good, so please take this advice as it is: from experience. I understand the need to and importance of good medical doctors, in any field so please make sure to do your own research while making a decision.  As for my own view here are a few pieces of advice for dentist searchers here, as expats: - google search, read reviews if available and important for your decision - the insurance is important, so make sure it covers at least annually a dental preventive check-up. But it should really be every six months - make appointments in time, preferably in advance, every six months - do accept the doctor that you find free, there is a shortage of dentists here for years, so no need to make situation worse by
