I'm a Newbie

So be gentle. A friend backhome has introduced me to the wonderful world of blogging and has suggested that I post some of my thoughts on life as an ex-pat. I think she actually has heard enough of my whining and thinks I need therapy - but knows I'm too cheap and/or proud to actually do that and thought perhaps blogging might be the way to go. I can get it all out of my system and she only has to listen to it when she wants... if she wants....

There is good and bad to living a life far away from home, my family, my friends and my native country (oooh, starting to sound like a national anthemn...) and hopefully I'll remember to write about both.

Perspective. That's the key.
