girlfriend is in france, now what?!?!
For those of you who didn't know (and I would have to then ask 'where the heck have you been?!?)...Emma has moved to Marseilles, France for a one year "expat" work stint. She is perfectly capable of explaining her "situation", how she's doing, and whatever else you might want to know, so I'll leave that up to you and her. What I am going to cover is how the heck to talk to her without breaking the bank using TECHHHNOOOOOLOGY
Email: emmaewilson@hotmail.com
Note: do NOT mail her at her CMA-CGM address as it is semi-public now in her new office setting.
Voice - phone:
Hotel: 011 33 4 9620 8870, room 404
(front desk will answer in French but can speak English...I typically say "Hello. Room four zero four please." Works like a charm.
Calling card: I use www.pennytalk.com. $0.021/minute...cheap!! Let me know if you want one of these as I can provide a referral that gives you and I $5 free talking time each.

Ta Vanster very comprehensive. Reminded me I hadn't said hi so I used the old fashioned email today, and said hi. You'll have to go through this skype business with me sometime (now you're the expert!) as I might save a lot of cash
