Recently I moved to Berlin (for a two month commitment with option to stay), and the experience so far has been WUNDERBAR - I’m still working on my German.  Having not a lick of comprehension for the German language I am studying with a private tutor named Barbara and using my Rosetta Stone software to help me along.

Because of the time changes I incurred recently (South Pacific to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to Philadelphia, Philadelphia to Berlin) I have just now settled on a proper time to wake in the morning.  The first few nights I have spent here have been sociable and fun - this city REALLY doesn’t sleep, but that isn’t why I am here.

Reasons why I am here:

1. Get over the love of my life who has moved on from my antics

2. Write my ass off - so far so good

3. Learn German

4. Learn a musical instrument

5. Make myself an international man of mystery - so far so gut

Tomorrow I finally get myself a cellphone and a gym membership.  Both of these acquisitions seem to be the most noted additions to someone planning a long-term stay in a foreign city, and I think I settled on a plan for both.  Tomorrow we will see.

P.S. Due to the busy-ness of my past couple days, I am including photos I did not take myself, but I plan on taking photos to share with you along my journey.  Ciao for now, Auf Wiedersehen!

I didn’t realize what I had done until it was too late.  I didn’t feel the pain of my actions until you had finally healed and moved on.  I didn’t know that I would lose you forever until you were really gone.
