Ohh, I have not forgotten about our "living abroad" thread. Just building up the tension for one of my infamous long and winding posts.  This afternoon, when discussing learning foreign languages on the "German" thread I was almost there.
But don't worry: you will get your chance to shine as the princess of 1001 nights of this board. Btw, did you get the chance to learn any Arabic ?

I'm glad to hear that you are fine Ramon! Good luck on your home-hunting. May you find something comfortable and affordable quickly.
You asked how I am, and I think I will give the safe answer - fine - because the real answer is complicated. But really, I am fine.
Yes, I learned Arabic. However, I have not used it in many years, so I recall only a little bit. What Arabic I hang on to is due to my husband, who speaks it with me sometimes.
Oh - and I am not wanting "to shine as the princess of 1001 nights of this board". I am basically shy and uncomfortable with that kind of attention. I am interested in hearing about other people's experiences when they've been in foreign countries. Yorick's is so fascinating - other people surely have similar adventures to share!
Glad to see you haven't totally disappeared Ramon.
