To help us deal with THIS situation (Image from www.adocica.tumblr.com)

I’ve mentioned countless times that I do enjoy a number of books that I can relate too. Lately, I’ve been hooked on books with stories that share my current situation: relocation. These stories somehow burst your bubbles of expectation and show you what you should really expect in these wonderful foreign places.

My heaviest weight EVER. Not good right?
