New beginnings
July 11th, 2008 | 06:56 pmI emigrated to the USA in June this year, as my wife and I decided our future lay on this side of the Atlantic. It’s been a wonderful transition for me personally as I’ve only ever lived in England - and let me just say, the contrast is vast, this is a fantastic country with a real sense of community, the lack of which in England could so easily explain many of the social problems being experienced there.
We’re currently living in Missoula, a mid-sized city in the state of Montana
- here’s a particularly nice photo from Flickr of the city and it’s impressive scenic surroundings:
Now that we’re settled, I intend to get back to blogging - so if anyone’s still reading, I’ll be back real soon.
If a lack of community is causing the social problems in England, what, do you suppose, is causing the social problems in the USA?
Having only lived here a short time, I don’t feel I’m qualified to make such an assessment just yet. I’m not suggesting this is some sort of Utopia where there are no problems, simply that the community aspect is a great change from what I was used to.
