Welcome - Tervetuloa - Bienvenue - Välkommen!

Tuomo writes: Maybe this time this will work out - a blog of my (or our) own where I can keep a on-line journal all about our new FABULOUS life in Langley, British Columbia. It's been almost four months since our move (more on that in a later blog perchance) and we're still adjusting.

A funny thing about living in Canada is that in essence it is very similar to living in the United States where we emigrated from (another topic to write more on in a later blog!). People speak English (with an accent though- or is it us, eh?), watch the same TV shows on the same TV channels, commute in their own cars, complain about conjested traffic, etc. Everythings seems more or less the same Except that some things are just plain different or just don't exist here. Like decent bagels (hence the name of our blog). Or Target. Close-Up. Extra-sharp cheddar. Fat-free ___.

Or could it be that we now live in a (gasp!) foreign country?! :-) A theme to be developed in blogs, weeks, months (years?) to come...
