It's quite the adjustment, but I really do like it here.
Coming up soon is a tour of our new city - as soon as Paul and I have some time to take some pics!
What are the biggest differences you have noticed living in a new place? The people, the places, the culture? What's the best way to meet people and become involved in your new community?
