Here, there and everywhere!: Many moons later....

So now I'm in Sweden; many moons later. So much has changed since the last time I wrote a blog.

Let me name a few ... or 10:

1. Finished out another year (2010) in Libya.
2. Came to Sweden on a Ski trip in February;
3. War broke out in Libya,
4. AECOM evacuated
5. and....I'm still here.
6. Changed jobs.
7. Bought a flat.
8. Learning Swedish.
9. Adjusting to Sweden.
10. Making new friends
11. Attending new friends weddings.

Oh, was that 11 things.... In any case, I've been here since February 2011 and today is the 25th of December; almost one year later. Marcus and I bought a new flat together and are packing up our stuff as I write and will move January 4th after we return from our New Years trip to, Canada. Our friends (we met here in Göteborg) are getting married! They are having a New Year's eve wedding, so it's guaranteed to be jam packed with fun!!!

Why am I writing now, after all this time? Good and appropriate question. I've been thinking for awhile now that I should start blogging again. Perhaps, some will find all the traveling and adjusting I do interesting (I doubt it) or maybe its just that I need to write. What I am aware of however, is the fad of blogging is over. People do not "blog" anymore. And if they do, they've missed the boat on the adventures of Social Media.
Today's "bloggers" use Facebook, Twitter, and other venues of Social interaction, such as You Tube. Actually with Facebook one really doesn't need to blog. And to be honest, I find other people's blog's really irritating. It's as if the blogger feels they have something so important to say that other people must and should be interested... NOT. No one is that interested nor has enough time or patience to read a blog. People want pictures and short sentences. They even prefer videos.

So folks, that is what I will give you: pictures, short sentences and videos, sometimes. I'll try and write about my experiences traveling and adjusting, learning new languages, cultures, making new friends and doing it all over again.

Let me know your thoughts, comments and suggestions. I would love to hear from you!

Here are some pictures of Christmas in Sweden!
