It's the fifth of December 2011 and I'm back in New Zealand after living in Thailand for nearly ten years. Why? Well, the story is very long. It begins a more than a decade ago in Auckland, New Zealand when my husband and I were extremely excited about moving to Thailand with our three sons (yes, My Three Sons...)... they were 5,7 and 9 and eager to move as well.
As I continue this blog I'm sure more of my journey will be revealed. I'm hoping this will be a more than adequate way of processing things that have gone down in my life and also a place for others in the process of moving to a different country and culture or repatriating to join in and share their thoughts, feelings and experiences. I truly believe that if we can share our journeys then we are able to move on in much healthier and exciting ways.
I'm certainly bursting with stories of cultural faux pas committed in Thailand when we first got there, but who would have thought that the list of terrible cultural slips and misunderstandings continues NOW that I'm back in my home country????
After being so hot for so long in Thailand, who would have thought that I'd be sitting here feeling hot in New Zealand? I thought I'd never feel the heat again.
Who would have thought that ice cream could taste so good?
So, here it is, my first blog... I will ramble, my grammar my be terrible at times, I may be boring on occasion, silly every now and then, slightly naughty, perhaps morose, even borderline insane - but I'm sure we will have fun and enjoy sharing.
This is my place of process, it can be yours too, welcome, sawat dii kha, kia ora...
