Yep NYC is something!!!

But all I can see is "Work", I'm so willing to start working, for the moment I have to be focused on my little teeager's first steps in the USA, up there in NCY she will be almost like in Paris, so then I will be able to find a job.

If you ever come to NYC I will surely cook something for you and your family but it will surely be French or Portuguese cuisine tongue.gif

Yeah, I've been to NYC once on a field trip and I LOVED it. Reminded me a lot of Montreal, more so than South Dakota laughing.gif

And I don't think I've ever had French or Portuguese cuisine laughing.gif

Teaching me something new as always Saylin :)

Hehe :P

I guess Alabama is pretty much like South Dakota tongue.gif

I love it here, but I miss the Eiffel Towersad.gif

I'm sure living near the Eiffel Tower must have been amazing! Never been to France before, but whenever I do, the Eiffel Tower is the first thing on my list of things to see. Next would have to be the Louvre.

I'm sure Paris is amazing! One of the places in Europe I want to go for sure. Plus, that's where my relatives (really long down the line) come from on my mother's side, so it's be nice to see where my ancestors come from :)

Good night Lidia! I'll be going to bed shortly as well. School in the morning.

And you can always have time for VJ :P

My dearest VJ family, I have waited for soooooo long for this day- my wife got her visa today! POE will be in Houston this weekend :dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing:

Massive thanks to all of you who have given so much support over the past few months. Much love to my fellow TSC hostages, and invaluable friends *ahem*Saylin*ahem*

This whole immigration process has been such a nasty ordeal, it feels good to see it finally come to a close :)

If there are any remaining TSC hostages out there, my heart goes out to you and I wish you a speedy reunion with your loved ones.

Much love,

Saleem

Yep she sure did! Surprisingly she said the POE at Houston was relatively hassle-free, so we're both really happy :)
