Our Trip to Rome
Every winter, my son and I travel around Christmas to warmer places. We both have long winter breaks as I teach and he is a student in academia, so we reward ourselves with a trip abroad. We've been to Brazil in 2019, Peru in 2021, and France last year. And this year, we decided to go to Rome.

Ambushed By A British Identity
I have always been fascinated by the British citizenship test, mandated by the government for new immigrants to the country; one which requires some answers that not even British born natives can supply! Obviously, top marks meant you acquired your new identity as a Briton, being fully integrated into the society, from the very first day!

London Calling
Twenty-four years ago, I departed London after having spent a semester abroad. My time in London was a formative experience since it was my first time living abroad and being away from my family. My first week was spent at the college in Uxbridge, now named Brunel University, in northwestern London, which partnered with the State University of New York, College of Brockport, in upstate New York. The first week in the university dorms allowed the students to search for an apartment or flat in British vernacular and get accustomed to British culture, including the Pub Culture and eating plenty of "Fish and Chips."
