Hi Maika, It is pretty amazing to read how confident you are and how you have decided to take charge of life. I am sure the next phase of life be it recon or a new partner will bring you loads of happiness. Since we are from similar cultural backgrounds I relate a lot reading your sitch. I am truly happy to see how you are faring.

I am in the same boat, no family in this country except for H and kids not even extended family or cousins. But thank god for technology today international calling is so accessible.
