It puts even the most adventurous spirit to the test. Because of my sojourns abroad, I wanted to address some of the issues that one perhaps does not think about until on the way to the new homeland. Having lived outside of my home country for approximately 20 years, I have grown to understand what a challenging transition it can be to face a different culture at any point in time of a life. Perhaps you are single and are looking for friends or people to hang out with outside of work. Perhaps you have a young family and are looking for schools and daycare and a social life outside of the home as a spouse of an expatriate transplant. This book is put together for those people who have come into the American culture at any point of their life to give a few guidelines of things that might not be otherwise anticipated or could even be puzzling. Atlanta can be a new adventure because Atlanta is on the cusp of developing a tremendous society apart from the Old South for which it has long since been known. The movie and music industries are booming here.
