I've moved in! Already I feel very much at home, which is great. The one joy of living abroad is that I don't have the endless titbits and random belongings which clutter my room most of the time! However, one trip to Ikea can't do any harm...
This afternoon I went for a long walk around my 'kiez' which is the German word for your 'hood' but in the non-ghetto sense... The area of Friedrichshein is in the east of the city - and where I am is pretty residential, nearly quiet. However, once I get my bike (to send over from England? to buy in Holland in 2 weeks time? to buy in a fleamarket? oh the questions!) I will be 10-15 minutes from the best places in Berlin - I can't wait!
The area where I spent the afternoon is called Prenzlauer Berg - with the highest percentage of babies in the whole of Germany. Love it. Best panini ever - seriously, I'm not missing UK food and prices....
Elke, whose room I am now living in, told me this evening that there is a German saying that you should pay careful attention to what you dream on the first night in a new house - so I shall hope the dreams are good!
Bis bald!

Hey Cas,
Wat leuk, je blog!
Fijn dat je het naar je zin hebt in Berlijn!
Begrijp ik het goed dat je over 2 weken naar Nederland komt? Hoe dan ook, je bent altijd welkom in Groningen.
liefs Suus
