I think this is where I am supposed to say that I am Yael, daughter/sister/friend/lawyer, wife to Bryan and mommy/mummy to Jonah. We moved from Brooklyn, New York, to London, England in February 2008. Because we like to think we are adventurous. But it turns out it’s only the fourth town I have ever lived in. Not bad though that 3 out of 4 are Washington, DC area, New York City, and London. Don’t worry, I liked you too, Harrisonburg, Virginia. Um, what else?

Yael I love your blog, I think I have turned into a faithful reader! Also you should send your entry about your cell phone number in to Newsweek “My Turn”, it’s awesome.

Loved reading your blog, brought me back to the heady early days of simultaneously loving and hating it here as an American in the UK. Although I kept my Virginia (434) cell phone and use it when I’m back “home” in the greater DC area. Does every American who moves here just wonder how on earth BT or any of them stay in business???
Not from around here
p.s. I’m also 32!

Yael & Bryan,
Connie told me about your blog so I had to check it out. Seriously, are you sure you should be a lawyer??? You need to write a book. I got many a good chuckle last night while reading. Sounds like you two are enjoying life abroad. It can’t possibly be as exciting as life in Pittsburgh with three kids under age 7!! Take care and keep in touch.
Love, Jason, Janet, Nick, Ryan, & Ella

Dear Yael,
I just came upon your website and thought it was really fun, tongue-in-cheek (or chic) and right on target. I’m going to London for the first time this week and since I’ve never been there before I’d be interested in seeing it through an American’s eyes. I’m actually doing some research at the British Museum on Greek and Roman art and will be around till Aug. 4, 2008. Maybe you coudl show me around?
Please feel free to google me.
Hope to hear from you,
Rachael

Yael,
I’m not sure whether I’m more embarrassed about not seeing or talking to you since you turned thirty, or that I’m apologizing for it on your blog because I’m doubting the email address I have for you. Needless to say, I felt more than a little sheepish to learn that you guys have been in London for a year or whatever, but John quickly reassured me: “Don’t worry, man. You can catch up on every DAY of her life on her blog.” – which, by the way, is AWESOME.
You’re brilliant.
Be well.
Big love,
Jeremy

AJ

Hi Yael!
I love your blog. My husband and I are about to make the move from NYC to London, and reading the insights of other expats is my new chosen distraction (yours is my favorite!).
I have a question about your baby’s delivery, if you don’t mind the bother: you seemed very happy with the hospital–was it at the Portland? It seems silly, given all the other things to fret over, but we plan to start a family soon, and my anxiousness about having a comforting place to give birth in London is #1.
Thanks!
Emma
