Settling in again

I just wanted to write a quick update for those who are checking this and wondering if I'd dropped off the earth...

I've started my new job at BC Children's Hospital. I'm hoping I'll get paid for it too. (long story). But the department seems great, everyone is friendly. Fortunately I can still do some global health - with the South African project i mentioned before. More on that later.

I've found a place to live, and, despite moments of real culture shock, I am thrilled to be here and I hope I can learn a lot, contribute, and find my niche in Vancouver. And hopefully won't have to move again for a long, long time.

The plan is to keep this going - more about South Africa, and the challenges of working there. And about other things I get interested in here.

Thanks for the ongoing interest!
Take care
Laura
