This story from one mother expat of 3 young kids finding herself alone in a bathroom crying really hit home. http://www.shfamily.com/blog/2011/09/19/china-days/  Culture shock is real no matter where you decide to relocate outside your home country.  The period of time it takes to adapt differs from person to person / family to family.  Sometimes it just helps to talk/whine about it if nothing else, whilst keeping an open heart and mind a greater understanding.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Brian,

I was supposed to finish the last bits and pieces, and do the sea trials last year. Unfortunately due to medical problems of my youngest daughter this had to wait. I am looking at going back to Durban later this year to finish up and finally go sailing :)
Great you are making good progress on your boat!

Best regards!]]></description>
