Immigrated to Canada in 2006 with my husband Jay Fraser.  We are currently living on Salt Spring Island, BC.  We love living in a ""foreign"" culture - and yes, Canada is culturally different the US - not as stark a difference as a foreign country with a different language, but different none-the-less.  We love living in the Great White North - the pace of life is slower, the quality of life is less hurried, more "organic" and environmentally conscious.  Still working in the hi-tech industry - a far cry from my Music and German Area Studies degrees, but enjoy exercising the problem resolution skills it takes to work in this field.
I would love to hear from any of the folks who were in Koeln (Fall '82) or Tuebingen (84/85) the same time as I was.

After living in the San Francisco Bay Area for 8 years, my wife and I decided to move to a new city. We are both from Europe and had lived in the U.S. for a long time, so booming Asia seemed like an exciting new choice. We decided to move to Hong Kong, a good middleground between the new-to-us Asian world and the safe, comfortable western culture (Hong Kong was a British colony until 1997 and most people there speak English). I work for Hill & Knowlton in one of Asia's largest offices as an account director in the tech practice. My entire career so far has been with marketing/communications agencies (I graduated from UO's school of journalism with a degree in PR). I now also hold an MBA from a top-rated university in the Bay Area.
