Sometimes, living on the other side of the world is really bl**dy frustrating. It’s not just the time difference, the miles apart and the fact that we are living in a completely alien country which can get exasperating, but also the fact that due to it being so alien, it feels as though we are completely cut off from what is going on around us (and the rest of the world for that matter). Yes, there is always the ONE and only international, english speaking, tv channel which we could watch, or the abundant rss feeds on the internet to keep us feeling the pulse of what’s going on in the rest of the world, but somehow that’s not the same as actually being part of and interacting with the (now so far away) more familiar part of the world.
