Some really cool things have happened in the last year or two that have prompted a return.
I moved from SA to the US of A for a spot of technical and cultural exchange.
6 months in and loving it. The kids especially are really enjoying the sense of safety and security that comes from being able to ride their bikes in the street without worrying somebody will kill them for it.
That's not to say there's not been adjustments, there are many subtle and not so subtle ways that Americans do it differently. So from driving on the "Right" side of the road to figuring out where the best hardware store is, has been a glorious voyage of discovery.
Already feel more "connected" by not having my DSL die repeatedly (Telcom thou art not missed).
So, a new beginning on the personal and professional front (that's excluding all the hush hush stuff at work I'm not supposed to talk about but some others have leaked).
