Well, here I am writing from the US of A as a resident instead of a visitor.  I’m enjoying all kinds of new experiences:

  • A new country.  The US is very similar to Canada actually.
  • A new town.  Going from pop. 70,000 to 15,000 is actually a big difference for me.
  • A new driver’s license.  I have to take all the tests over again like a new driver.
  • A new bank.  Actually, I like the financial services available to Americans better than the ones we had in Canada.
  • A new home.  Definitely different, very comfortable, the largest property I’ve lived at in ten years.
  • New shopping outlets to price out.  I hate shopping if anyone wonders.
  • Hopefully a new job soon.
  • The same church.  I wouldn’t want that to have changed :-)

That’s just a partial list.  An international move is definitely an experience to be remembered.
