Never sleeps

TL;DR version: I have moved back to the US after 10 years away. It's nice, but I often still feel like I'm in a foreign country.

Welcome back to the States!

I hope reacclimating isn't too painful.

It's okay if I never turn on the TV! Someone might try to tell me about a Kardashian.

That is something to be avoided at all costs. :)

I can only imagine.

I've never been away in another country long enough to experience this. My job isn't really the travelling kind (librarian) & I've only moved around within Sweden during my 6 years at University. After that it was a job & well, I'm stuck? It's not as if I don't like my job, or my house that is a constant renovation project but I wish I'd made time to live in another country before full-time job (I don't want to loose cause full-time jobs don't grow on trees right now, temp otoh..) & house loans. I try to travel when I can afford it tho, mostly cities in Europe so far... Me & sun tend to avoid each other. But I love listening to other people talk about their countries & experiences & right now with so many refugees coming into our small town the library is a good place to meet people from all over the world :)

I spoke to this one guy last week about driving licences & traffic regulations in Sweden compared to Afghanistan. It was interesting to say the least :D

New York ... it's a crazy place. I get why it feels alien to you.

Woo hoo, back in the states!!! Hopefully we can see each other sometime. And I hope all is well. :)
