A taste of home.
One of the struggles for us here is fighting homesickness. Despite the warmth and welcome of the village, life here for us can be very lonely. There are moments when three years looks like a long time. But there's nothing like a little jolt of Americana to kick those blues - Coca-Cola, Snickers, and the opening ceremonies from Sydney on our newly arrived television. And there's nothing that quite brings a tear to your eye like watching Iggy Pop play "No Fun" live in Warsaw.
