Happy New Year folks, I doubt I've been missed much but I will be back about on here more frequently as I'm settled again after a bit of a run about for the past 6 months.
Thought this would make an interesting discussion point - a lot happens in a year, a lot we expect and a lot we don't. What has happened this year for you guys that wasn't expected and is 'interesting' (for want of a better word)/ changed you/broadened your horizons.
Seems to me to be a more interesting way to look at/evaluate a year.
For me: I didn't expect to end up with girlfriend, due to my low self esteem i guess, but I did and it has opened me up to an entirely new culture. I have visited poland three times now and am planning a road trip there with her next summer.
Poland is a rad country and gets vilified in the British press, for reasons beyond me other than xenophobia, I love the culture, the food, the language (i start formal lessons next week if all goes to plan) and my partner.
Discuss if interested or let it die like most of my threads if not.
Back to the beginning - Happy new year regardless.
(I apparently didn't bother writing the title properly - can a mod put ' 2012' in stead of '2'
