Homeward bound!
Don’t worry, Berlin friends, it’s just for a visit.
Josh and I have booked flights to spend the holidays with our families in Canada. First we spend Christmas in Regina and then New Years in Vancouver. We’ll be gone for two-point-five weeks and I’m really looking forward to it and I’ve been excitedly texting all my friends and making plans for everything.

Yay online shopping!
I love it when you order something online, and the next day, you look at the confirmation e-mail and you get really excited about one of your purchases. Or all of them.

Good news never comes in the form of a phone call...
… it comes in the form of a text message sent shortly after midnight, to be discovered after the 6 a.m. phone call.

Good effort, me.
Today, I was asked to write the “World from Berlin” article that is posted on Spiegel Online International everyday. Usually, we take a subject that everyone is talking about, and simply report on what the newspaper columnists are saying about it. Sometimes, there is a clear topic of discussion. Today was not one of those days. You’ll have to check the site to see what it...

Mit freundlichen Grüße,
