I can honestly say I now have two homes, because the entire time I was in Germany I was saying when I go home for Christmas, now that I am in Newfoundland I keep talking about going home January 10th, and all the things I want to do before I go home. The contrast is not something I expected, but the crazy thing nothing has really changed here. Other than friends getting married, or some going into jobs in sales (who I might not have expected to do so), everyone and everything is going as normal. The resutrants are still here and its been awesome hanging out in the old haunts.
