Hello ladies,
I thought that I'd just drop a message here after reading a couple of the posts here and registering just a few seconds ago. I was brought here through a link from a blog/ that I read and she's a member here too!
In any case, my name is Marina. I'm a Singaporean and I happened to meet an Italian by chance. By some mysterious reasons, we fell in love. After an arduous and lengthy 4 years, long distance relationship we finally got married in a traditional Malay wedding and two weeks after that, I migrated here in Rome.
The first few months was agony. Not knowing the language, the culture, having no friends here, plus the cold dreary winter made me extremely home sick and quite depressed. Being in a different environment, I was not feeling very confident. Like one of the ladies said in another thread, I was too afraid to answer the door or the phone too!
But after a year, soldiering on, slowly learning the language, getting used to the life here, I'm appreciating life here more. I've still lots to improve on, but I look forward to the thoughts that things can only get better now
Anyway, I look forward to meeting you ladies, be it virtual or real life!
Piacere!
