Back as expat

A hiatus does one good when the emotions rise and fall as they do in a move to a new country. Thankfully, the lovely view of Evian across the lake is a constant.

Despite a need over this last year to shrink away from an online presence due to constraints not worth mentioning here, it now high time to come back to Rendered Public as, at the very least, a vehicle of expression. Living abroad certainly has its ups and downs with blogging recommended often enough as a kind of therapy for the "ex-pat blues". Expat sites are dedicated to grouping the experiences of those who decide to live life elsewhere.

Facebook likewise has likewise served this key function of rendering public those constant thrills and frequent frustrations of the foreign encounter. But are the brief comments and postings enough to fully paint the picture? For that we would need something like a blog of our own.
