		<description><![CDATA[After more than a week and a half, our skis still haven’t arrived from France. Never mind that parcels from Hong Kong arrive at my doorstep four days after being posted.  No, in France, it seems, things take longer.  It took more than a week for my skis to make it 280km to the Export [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matthew&#8217;s mood-o-meter Well, after a few weeks in France, the novelty is beginning to wear off a little bit. We&#8217;ve had our fair share of problems settling in, both personally and professionally, that take off a little bit of the glow. We&#8217;ve been struggling to get our phone line installed for several weeks, passed continuously [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They&#8217;re very process-oriented here in Singapore. The process is generally followed regardless of whether it makes common sense or not, and fighting against this behaviour is an exercise in futility. This is a country that&#8217;s used to following rules. Which explains why my bowl of wonton soup was accompanied by another smaller bowl of wonton [...]]]></description>

Only a few short days after posting our wedding dossier to the Mairie in France, we just heard that the dossier is complete and correct, and our wedding banns will be published later this week.

After what seems like a lifetime of dealing with government departments, we have finally managed to gather together all of the documents we need to submit our wedding dossier in France.
