Ok, Rachel, the most important question to a Jersey Girl: Did you find good pizza? We found good pizza within two weeks when we moved to Kyv. My UK expereince was over 30 years ago and the thing that I carry the longest? I love Marmite. Anyway, you hit many good points in your piece and American Optimism is one of those things my wife and I have to hold back on here in Ukraine. The other one for me is to not go Jersey on anyone. Peace!
