No, I am not a jelly donut, I am in fact now a resident of Berlin. Charlottenburg to be precise and I have spent the last week settling it.
The people are friendly, the rent is cheap (as is the beer) and things appear to be possibly looking up.
Moving away from home was easier than I had thought it would be, it has only since I have been here that I have really begun to think about the drastic change in lifestyle I have undertaken.
We shall see how I fair over the next few weeks. Whether I get on and enjoy it, or whether it all disintegrates. For now though, I need to brush up on my German, a language I haven’t really spoken since I was fourteen.
