Changes

Sorry for the radio silence. Lots of changes here in the past month. In short, I have left the organization I came to work for and the apartment I was living in. I have a new job and am staying with Martin and his gracious roommates until I get settled in a new apartment (hopefully this coming weekend).

Things on the ground look very different than they do from 6,000 miles away and people are often not what they seem; true no matter where you are. My situation is not uncommon here.

Despite the challenges, I'm still really enjoying it here. I have a wonderful...and expanding...group of friends, many of whom have had similar experiences and who have been so supportive. The best advice I would give anyone moving to a new country: find friends fast.
