But much of getting to know is also about getting a sense of what it can't do.<BR/><BR/>It's funny: moving abroad was very much like that... getting a sense of how incidental/unnormal 'normal' is when you look at it from elsewhere. but also a clear sense of 'hm, this is something i really like quite a lot'.Gesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808430595430298345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998420814250658360.post-62728874129598297452008-12-09T13:03:00.000+00:002008-12-09T13:03:00.000+00:00I like the sort of pleasant surprises you can get ...I like the sort of pleasant surprises you can get if you do something you haven't done before - in a sort of 'controlled' way.
