Ibid.

Hmmm, it's interesting to see how bad i've been with updating my blog. There are some strong arguments in favour of updating it a lot: I am in Berlin and do many new things that I am excited about and that I really want to share. Second, I am here without Fedor, so I am actually quite bored: that should be giving me mucho extra time to update my blog.

Alas, I guess it just isnt the case!

Anyways, here I am, after all. I have been back to Milano for Easter, because Fe's Mum was visiting, and I wanted to see her (and Fedor, of course!). We had a lovely time of drinking, and I had some time to hang out with others as well. I also had an opportunity to pick up my drivers' licence... haha, that was a joke of course, because Italy wouldn't be Italy if there wasnt some reason why my licence wasnt finished. So, the reason this time was as follows: yes, well, it's true you requested it early February and it should be finished after about 7 weeks, but for an undefined reason, the request wasnt registered until march 17, so the licence wont be finished before May.... WHAT????? "Thank you for visiting: please call on us again!". Oh well, I will be in Milano for my defence anyway, so I can do it then. It is just a bit inconvenient with the whole moving etc, because I would have liked to be able to pick some stuff up from IKEA with a rental car... oh well...

The weekend after (as in, last weekend), Fedor came to Berlino. It was great to have him here, so I could share some of my enthusiasm for this city with him. While he was relatively unlucky with the weather, we still had an opportunity to walk around a lot and see some nice parts of Berlin:






And while Fedor was here, I was also able to show him our NEW FLAT!!! It is absolutely stunning: huge, renovated, great area (in fact, across the road from where I am now...), simply PERFECT (and seriously, I am not even exaggerating). But in order to fill up the 108 m2, we are going to be needing a LOT of furniture! So we also spent an afternoon at IKEA, sitting on sofas, and lying on beds. After I get the key of the flat on Sunday, I will go to IKEA on Monday night and order all the stuff, so we will have a furnished flat after that!!!! Than the waiting is simply for our stuff from Milano (and more importantly, Fedor himself) and we are all settled for our new life!!!!!

OJ=happy!

Tschüßi!

PS Also, work is fine: Today I finally met my boss!!! He is very energetic and nice...

Wow, 108m2??? just for the 2 of you??? Brilliant and in that neighbourhood, sigh. Congrats, must be so great, especially after such a long time in Milano.

Sounds like a perfect life altogether. How are Fedor's job prospects in Berlin? I suppose he can teach Italian there ;-).
