To start off

Some time ago I built website to share things going on in my life (our lives, really) since I moved to Greece in Sept 07 - following my then husband-to-be as he returned to his home country after 2 years in the States.  Being slightly lazy, it seemed easier to update a website than to send multiple emails saying basically the same thing to different people.  

But for some time now I have found a short commentary constantly working itself up in my mind about things in my new country.  I avoided keeping a journal when moving here - I just wanted to live the life and not be busy making comparisons with life in the U.S.  Comparisons can be the death of successful adjustment to a new country and culture - so not only did I not write them down, I wouldn't let myself think them if at all possible.

Now, I have mostly adjusted and am seeing things that I want to comment on.  I am not sure what I mean to accomplish by this.  Possibly to share them with someone who won't feel the need to defend it or explain it should it be less than complimentary about Greece.  That's not to say I won't have positive things to say - nor will everything be directly related to Greece as a country.  Generally, I don't know where this is going, but felt the need to start!
