Immigrating to Europe

“Immigrating to Europe” was featured in Lifeline (10 November 2009)

Coming from Israel, European winters are not easy to adjust to… Being an immigrant requires a lot of adjustment on many other levels. If you immigrate to an English speaking country, at least you understand much of what people around you are talking, right from the start. I immigrated first to Finlad, learning its language slowly… only to immigrate again to a country with a strange new language – Holland. Not knowing the language of the country is quite isolating. Above and beyond that one must learn the culture, the customs, the expectations of people regarding just about every word you say… or should have said;-)

Hi, Mark! Nice seeing you again:~~) Thanks! Well, it was drawn in Finland, in more difficult times of my life… I think I feel a bit less of an outsider already:~~)
