Welcome to Bermuda

Firstly, for the benefit of those of you who have randomly entered this blog while skiving off work, my name is Josh and I've recently moved to Bermuda from New Zealand.

Secondly, for those who have been unfortunate enough to miss out on me talking about Bermuda non-stop for the last few months, a few basics:

• Not in the Caribbean, but east of the US. Close to New York, Boston, Washington and Miami and much closer to London than I was before (refer scale map below)

• Is not in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle - is one point of it, the others being Florida and Puerto Rico

• Capital is Hamilton - roughly three by five blocks in size

• Population around 65,000; approx half white and half black; half male and half female; a third expats

• The Island is 22 square miles in a sort of crescent shape. I thought it'd be easy to walk across but it turns out it's a lot bigger than I was expecting

• Great people - probably the friendliest I've ever met. Everyone says good morning / afternoon to everyone they pass on the streets

• It's hot.

Every now and then I'll update this blog with interesting little tidbits to try and entice you all to come over and visit... it's a chance in a lifetime... you'll never have the same opportunity...
