What's New on British Expat?Here's a list of all our most recent articles on British Expat Magazine. Enjoy!  29 September Pic of the WeekA Chinese dragon on the roof of a Penang temple/clan house, against a deep blue sky. 21 September 2008 Flamin' galahs..."The meal didn’t look that great, to be honest. The 'Aussie chips' were bog-standard frozen fries, the grilled onions looked anaemic and rather as if they’d simply been sweated off, and the peppercorn sauce looked like a thin gravy, with no evidence of any peppercorns anywhere. Still, I cut myself a small portion of the steak – noting as I did so that it wasn’t medium rare, but blue (not a problem; I like my meat bloody) – and took a mouthful." Kay and Dave visit the Outback Steakhouse in Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Bintang – and discover that it's not all it's cracked up to be. 17 September Height of luxury"As we finally emerged, our jaws dropped as we discovered an immense living space. The whole suite, it turned out, was 118 square metres; nearly twice as big as the one we'd booked, and about a third bigger than the entire floorspace of the two-and-a-half-bedroom house we used to have in suburban London." Kay and Dave experience the high life in the lebua at State Tower suite hotel in Bangkok's Silom Road. 8 September Pic of the WeekDennis the BE dog, cared for by the volunteers at Gozo SPCA and sponsored by British Expat. 20 August September SpecialsIf you're keen to improve the standard of your photography and are in Thailand during the month of September, then you'll be interested to hear about Photography School Asia's special events for the month. Improve your skills with British professional photographer and photojournalist Jonathan Taylor. 19 August Can't take 'em anywhere...With the publication of the FCO's third annual British Behaviour Abroad report, the UK media are full of stories about Brits misbehaving overseas. Are we really all as bad as the press would have us believe? 18 August 2008 Pic of the WeekCuban children in Young Pioneer uniforms dance the conga – between the legs of carnival characters on stilts! 17 August End child sex tourism now!Several countries, including the UK, have now passed laws making it possible to convict people for child sex offences they've committed abroad. However, enforcement is very mixed. Part of this is because the police in the country where the offences are committed don't have the resources to investigate child sex crime. On occasions, the police themselves may be paid to look the other way. But sometimes, sorry to say, it's a matter of the government of the offender's country of origin not being willing to commit resources to extraditing and prosecuting its own criminals.

Kay explains how to make a simple white sauce, which can also be the basis of many flavoured sauces. What was newHit List: We've had visits from 202 countries and territories to date – here's the full list if you'd like to see exactly where they all are.
