So,
that's it, the first three months over in a strange land. What impressions
has it left on me? Well the way you see yourself changes as time progresses.
You start off being a tourist, looking in wonder and fascination, taking fun
in the simplest things like the fountains almost around every street corner
here. Then you start to register and for a while feel like a beast with two
heads wondering if you stand out as much as you think. And now the settled
phase, feeling like you can cope with everything some how, building a network
of friends and other expats who act as advisors, interpreters and aids in
the continuing adventure (this is sounding needlessly messianic).
Any way we fly home for Christmas and New Year soon then the whole thing begins again. But at least we have a base to work from and Know a few more of the ropes than last time.
