Happy birthday Ant! Miss you guys. ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŽ‚


I was talking to another expat last night who just got back from a visit to the States. She said one thing that really stood out to her was that, unlike in Australia, the high cost of housing wasn’t the common topic of conversation. Instead it was health insurance. She said she talked to people who were worried about losing their employer provided coverage, or who were stressing over high deductibles, or who were putting off going to the doctor until they got a job that had a better plan. She mentioned that she’s 16 weeks pregnant, and she’s so happy she’s going to have the baby here. Understandable.



Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
