Just another WordPress.com weblog. January 26, 2017. Cultural Difference and Adjustment 2. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Check that out to see a German and an American Southerner discuss some of the issues. I watched their videos in Germany. Now, all of you have been following along, realize I am dealing with being back in the USA, up in Northeast. This is simply a follow up on the previous post. It is a few weeks later and instead of that observation having gone away, it hasn’t. January 6, 2017. In 199...

Most of you could guess correctly about what one of the two words meant, which is why I describe the languages as ‘siblings’ at least ‘compared to Chinese’. Like so much in life, it depends on what we are comparing. While that true, I am generally reeling from the switch back from “brick everything” to “wood and vinyl house siding”. Meanwhile, I want to acknowledge Kraft K...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. January 6, 2017. Now, this is the lower level of operations here at the blog. This first paragraph is labelled ‘chaos’ because I didn’t even select a topic before I started. Conclusion: It is true that in Western Europe ‘Socialism’ is not even a dirty word. Culture Issue: In truth, when I talked to myself about returning to the USA from Europe I had the intention of never leaving to reside in Europe long term again. I also never intended to make myself just poor wit...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. September 9, 2016. Changes in professional writing 2016. Online, I have managed to gather some writer friends. I am not always the greatest person about learning every aspect of the job but interacting with some other writers sometimes helps. Harsh reality: there was a reason for that advice. There have been many changes in the industry during the past ten years. In truth, the situation has continued to improve and to become worse right along with the improvements.

Just another WordPress.com weblog. October 20, 2016. Hallucinating or Just in Europe? Hi folks. I’m not that sure who will check in and read this blog. At this time, the highest official number of readers was back in 2014, when a few hundred people did something that caused the system to list them as having been visitors who read the blog.

https://miriamspia.wordpress.com/2016/12/05/what-really-happened-cross-cultural
Just another WordPress.com weblog. December 5, 2016. What Really Happened – cross cultural. Forgive my long absence, but here I am again, writing in from over in the USA. Right now, I am right around where I grew up. Today’s post is about what happened a few months ago and how to clear it up. The truth is, that when I flew in from Germany to England there were 2 lines: EU Arrivals and Non-EU Arrivals. Being American I chose Non-EU Arrivals and that had a huge impact on what happened.
