We've put the "For Sale" sign up on our ExpatDelhi.com site. We just didn't have the time to devote to it. If anyone is interested in taking it over, please get in touch. Meanwhile, we've added some of our Delhi info in the Travel Channel. Please see the Delhi Index for a list of all Delhi-related pages on this site.

Well, after a month in which we've been concentrating on site services (new webmail, chatroom, and other things) we thought it was time to add a bit more content!
Emma King-Farlow has duly come up with the goods: another Film Fanatics page! (Just exactly what did Renee Zellweger say when two tourist visitors to L.A. started discussing her personal appearance in rather loud German? Find out here!)
Anyone interested in French cooking and recipes? Our friend Mike Kingdom-Hockings has an eclectic collection of foodie pages on his website. Try Pumpkin Soup - in a pumpkin. Yum!

David Stockton, an occasional columnist here, has written
in to tell us about the forthcoming Greenbelt Festival:
"...Festival with a moral conscience Greenbelt has formalized its line-up
with The Polyphonic Spree closing the mainstage on the last night. Billed
as 'the greatest rock and roll show on earth' by NME, the white-robed
26-piece Texan orchestral-choral pop band will join the likes of Billy
Bragg, Aqualung, Kate Rusby, Umoja, London Community Gospel Choir, and
Boo Hewerdine in performing across eight stages. It's the 30th festival
and apart from the music there will be theatre, an unfair football match,
cabaret and a specific venue 'Late, Tired and Showing Off' for the exhibitionists
out there. Greenbelt Festival takes place August 22-25 at Cheltenham Racecourse,
UK.

New series: Moving to... We get a lot of questions on
the forum asking things like, "I'm thinking of moving to ...., what's
it really like to live there as an expat?" Some of the answers are
very entertaining so we decided to start a new series on this theme. Here's the first:
