Yes, it seems incredible that it's been six months already! Six months since I took a giant leap of faith and left literally every'thing' behind. Six months since I arrived in the 'New World'. And what a crazy six months it's been! Almost every day has brought me new challenges that have tested me in different ways. Every day has reminded me that I have chosen to deal with a life out of my comfort zone and I have no choice but to face it heads on! These six months have also given me several positive experiences and the satisfaction of being able to handle the challenges in different ways and to different degrees. I have been extremely lucky to have been helped by many people and in several ways, all of whom made my survival here so far, possible and often comfortable. I have been warmly welcomed into the homes and hearths of so many families. I have made new friends. I have experienced life from a completely different perspective. I have learnt quite a few lessons. And now at this milestone, things finally have started to feel a tad 'normal' and myself, less of a fish-out-of-water.
I do not know how long I will live here. No matter how long it turns out to be, I hope this blog can be a chronicle of my life here. The initial process settling down into a new country and culture... the emotional roller coaster of it all... new experiences.... tidbits from the daily life that make things not so mundane... trips and travel... and whatever else I encounter along the way... I hope to cover it all.
