Hello from Philly

Many thanks for all of you for your well-wishes. We thoroughly enjoyed the prata and the various informative advice given to us, such as shopping tips from our shopping expert LML.

I arrived in Philly on Tues night (Wed morning SG time). The weather here is surprisingly warm and I am really looking forward to a cooler weather. Spent lots of time walking around to get a better feel of the city and some parts of Philly remind me of NY.

I must say that this move to the US has certainly not been an easy decision for me. Many people have told me that I am courageous to take this path. But I always see it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I guess it isn't so much of a right or wrong move. Things can seem so wrong initially may turn out to be right in the long term and vice-versa. It's a decision that we have made so we will just have to make the best of it.

Will blog more as I settle down in the new city. So be prepared for more news in future from your friendly correspondent from Philly.
