Being abroad can give us this odd feeling of getting more
and more apart from our family and friends. Different surroundings, different
feel, which is pretty normal I guess but nevertheless painful sometimes.
A few years ago we found out about podcasts and it has been
a pleasant ride ever since. We started with some of our favorite radio shows
and widen our spectrum of audio and video “magazines” sharing with one another
our discoveries.
When we go back home(s), everyday jokes don’t just fly by us
anymore and we actually can laugh and discuss with our loved ones, society,
economic and political issues that are in the air. And this way, we no longer
feel that much “away”.
Him in his commute, me in my shopping trips, both in our own
time listen to the news from home and laugh and come home to discuss the
interesting things we’ve learnt around our dinner.
We’re in the subway, our earplugs on and smiling and
laughing; and the bonus is that people around us end up smiling too (even if it’s
at us!).
It feels so good to share a laugh.
