John, you are so right. I've often heard it said that the hardest country to adjust to (when one moves to a different country) is the one that seem most similar, because you are not expecting the cultural differences to be as great as they are. |

I can attest to that out of experience. Even after 16 years in the States, I am still learning to adjust. |

John Ravenscroft Posts: 321 Joined: 21st Sep 2007 Location: UK | Posted at 11:23 on 24th August 2008 OK, which one of you lot has been telling God about me? I was up a ladder yesterday varnishing my log cabin, and he sent one of his minions to yank it out from under my feet. Broke my right wrist in three places. Ouch! No more guitar-playing for a while. Most impressed with our much-maligned National Health Service, though. Ambulance was here in 5 mins (and we live in the middle of nowhere) and the nurses and doc at the hospital were all kind, friendly and efficient. I need sympathy! |
