Thank you so much. I ... the arranged marriage thing wouldn't even have occurred to me, so I'm kind of boggling about that.

Is it difficult to get work in skilled trades if you're moving around a lot? I'm in something of a skilled trade myself, and it's taken me four years in my new home city to put down enough roots to have anything like a reliable client base, because people tend to distrust newcomers. I can really see it being a challenge, in the midst of this wider culture that equates "good, reliable work" with "has been in business in the same spot for X number of years."

I'd imagine that the internet (Craigslist, Etsy, etc.) make it significantly easier to find work or sell your work while not having a permanent address. I can definitely see why you'd have a wi-fi connection. And the idea that home is your family rather than a spot on the map? Makes perfect sense to me.

I hope you get to go home soon, and thank you again.

I think people watch too much television, is my only way of rationalizing it.

I don't know how difficult it is. I guess because we know people, my family members get in on jobs with locals. I'm not really involved in that, since I never learned one of the trades. But they never seemed to have a problem.

I know everyone who does jewelry and art works through the Internet now. Etsy is brilliant, really, practically a godsend.

Thank you for trying to understand. Most people just make the "But..." face.
