LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: It’s about now, after 4 months of cold and a seemingly endless number of snowfalls that the locals start to moan about what a pain New Jersey’s winter is, and how they are sick of it. Of course, not everyone feels this way. But even the most avid fans of snow and […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: It’s acorn time again. ‘Ouch’ is a common part of my speech at this time of the year (mid-September) as acorns start raining down with regularity, during the early phase of Fall. As I rubbed my forehead this morning, it struck me that this is just one of many repeating seasonal […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: Hurricanes and snowstorms are two weather extremes I would not have expected to experience in the same location. But then again, that’s one of New Jersey’s peculiar little charms. In our four years here so far, our family has experienced two years out of four with a major hurricane/tropical storm. Admittedly […] Continue reading →

LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: What makes Fall in New Jersey my favourite season? It’s not the festivals or the food or the weather.

LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: Like others elsewhere in the world, I started to blog about our expat life in New Jersey as a way of documenting the experience. Then I started to photograph images to add some colour and life to my blog. But along the way, there have been increasing numbers of colorful images from New Jersey […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: Spring is finally here. If you think I’m a bit late in saying that, then you are correct. Spring in New Jersey starts officially on March 21st or 22nd every year. But it sure doesn’t feel like it then. The weather is still cold and there is always the possibility […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: Snow in March? I didn’t think that really happened here. But it did last week and once again turned parts of New Jersey including my local town, into a breath-taking winter wonderland. I know you’re all probably sick of my continous rambling on about the beauty of snow here. However, I’m severely addicted it […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: Well after a lot of worrying and a bit of panic, snow storm ‘Nemo’ didn’t hurt New Jersey much at all, compared to Hurricane Sandy. The snow was enough to make my home town look beautiful, at least for a while. Here are some photos from Montclair, New Jersey from last week’s […] Continue reading →
