Because I'm a little obsessive (ok, a lot obsessive, but I like to call it "being prepared") I've been thinking how I'm moving to a new city (in a new country with a language and culture totally foreign to me, but I digress)... moving to a new city where I have only a few friends. 

And moving there while the days are getting shorter and just weeks before the time change from Daylight Savings to Standard time. The dark and cold of winter is my least favorite season. 

Can you say SAD and alone!? 

While local television will be a great learning tool for me, active listening (plus simultaneously attempting translation!) will be exhausting.... and therefore not something to do for relaxation. 

So what to do to fill up the hours before I've built a social structure?
