Well, we are here.
Some interesting items of note, that hightlight the differences between LOTS of space and NO space:

1. Strollers, shopping carts and some buses have all four wheels swivel. Not so good for high speed, but great for maeuverability.
2. Our apartment is 1/3 the space, for 4 times the cost of our house back home. And it is big, by any local standard!
3. We have some fairly reserved children by US standards; they listen, and don't run totally out of control when at a playground. Over here, other parents view our children as crazy at the playground! Swinging until the chain starts to slack at the apex of the swing, running along the 16 inch high concrete wall that holds a simple garden in the playing area, swinging from the monkey bars (that is what they are there for!), riding the teeter totter without a parent holding the child, is so alien to them. This last point may be more a result of parents only having one child, and the clear attempt to protect them from all risk right through adulthood, but it also highlights the close quarters and constant attention children are under over here.
