Thanks Venus for that article - it is sooo true what an online community of Saffers really can do for one to help settle in and with the initial loneliness. And I can relate to some of the things you have written as well Emma - I just realise as well how easy it is to settle in a different country without the language barrier, it does make things so much easier. I actually cannot image how it would be to start all over and having to learn a new language. It is good to read other people's experiences..puts I all into perspective.
