How this place changed my life — 1 year ago
Did my year out here, thinking I could speak German. Well, after the month or so required to tune my ear and brain into the dialect it all went almost ok. Met some great people in my workplace – Rolf, Jürgen, Stephan and Herman, and in the Studentenwohnheim – Rafik, Maro, Ati, the now-famous Bernd Ruf and – of course, the one person I’d love to meet again but never will – the utterly, amazingly gorgeous Andrea S. How dim my lights were not to have noticed that she might have been as interested in me as I was in her when just assumed I had no chance at all. Fab place to be, lots to see in and around the city, all the better for being with friends. How dumb do you have to be to let all that go, eh? :-)
