>I am usually pretty facile in blending in, language wise, at least with the Romance languages. I know schoolgirl French, so I can get along in France without being called out. Italy is fairly easy once you get the local dialect sounded out. I managed to live in England without being ferreted out for years.
But this territory, once friendly, helpful, and well run, has changed in a way that others have articulated better than I. Some are convinced it is for the better. I long for the shelter I once knew. If I wanted the real world, what would I be doing on an Internet forum?
Plenty of room under the rock, by the way.
