QUESTION NO. 7. What are some of the good, the bad, the ugly…and the funny things you have experienced living overseas? Please share any funny or fun stories you have about the place you are living.
Living in Maine for almost two years now, I have a lot of experiences both exciting and unexpected... both beautiful and ugly... both unforgetable and traumatic.
I am always amazed at how closed we are to nature. It amused me when I would meet a deer crossing the dirt road when I go for a morning run...

or wild turkeys in queue...
or some playful squirrels and chipmunks seeking for acorns at the backyard...
or a hungry bird having lunch.
I was so thrilled the first time my Hubby took me for a snowmobile ride to get pizza in the middle of a blizzard.
I can't forget the first time I caught my first fish when Hubby and I went ice-fishing in a frozen pond.
But living in Maine is not all about the good things. Maine is not a total paradise on earth. Winter in Maine is beautiful yet threcherous.
I hate driving in winter roads especially after a snow storm or worse... an ice storm.

Beautifully captured of the good and bad. I believe the good has made going the bad easier. :)

Hi Ruthi...
Visiting you back. Grabe...going for a pizza sa gitna ng blizzard. Sounds exciting.....but I won't survive in that kind of weather. Pag nag 32F na dito feeling ko magiging yelo na ko....hahaha....

@PinayWAHM... hahaha... akala mo lang siguro un. I was like that too when I was new here. But eventually, I learned to adapt to the weather and enjoy winter now especially winter activities.
i'm having second thoughts about working on moving there...not second thoughts actually, i've been thinking about it for what seems like ages now...always wondering if i will be happy there...
@Kulasa... you will forever wonder if you will not try or experience it. Going back will always an option anyway. So if ever you do decide to move here... keep your options open.
your so lucky to be so close to nature.
well, the bad experiences just doubled my resolved to turned those into good perspective.
i, too, have left the comfort of my home,pateros-philippines, to seek greener pasture elsewhere.not an easy thing to do but somehow if there's a will, there's always a way!
@Salitype... I understand. making sacrifices is inevitable.
