A General Note About This Blog

Since I haven’t found the way to edit entries on this blog once they’re posted, there will very likely be some ‘out of sequence’ comments, or an apparent ‘mix’ with factoids woven into the prose as my brain allows me to realise what’s actually going on around me! It’s been a huge culture shock arriving here, and the differences are sometimes screamingly obvious, and at other times the observations may take a while to formulate. Differences between this culture and the one I grew up in are present in almost every aspect, and coming to terms with it is quite tricky.
The opening few days were quite isolating – not unpleasant at all, just isolating – and as I’ve got to know a few people and start to engage, the warmth and hospitality that’s been shown to me has been marvellous and, in some cases, quite humbling.
Please do post comments and/or questions if you feel so inclined, and I’ll endeavour to answer as promptly as I can.

If you’re following – keep looking for updates from time to time, and remember they won’t always be in strict chrono-order ☺
