So what are we really up to?

Here we are in sunny 27 degree Berlin on the 13th of September and some of you might be wondering what are we really up to here apart from travelling? The answer is not much really...

Jack is working full time and I am still doing my German Integration course. On the 26th and 27th of October I have my big exam and then I'm free. I've been looking for work but there doesn't seem to be much that's available. I am considering doing a TEFL certificate but not sure how many opportunities I will have at teaching English, and since the course is not cheap (1000-15000 EURS) it is a tricky decision.

Other than that we have _more_ travel planned:
16-17 Sept - Marburg (Jack's auntie is celebrating 50 years of being a nun)
29 Sept - 3 Oct - last minute something (haven't worked out what yet)
14-15 Oct - Oldenburg (one of Jack's uncles is turning 50)
20-22Oct - Milan
18-25Nov - New York
26-30Nov - Los Angeles
2-16Dec - Melbourne YEY!!!!
22-26 Dec - Paris
28Dec-3Jan - London

And we have two visitors coming - Courtney is stopping over after her big African trip in the next couple of weeks, and then Emmi - Jack's Mum, is here for a couple of days in October.

Here are some adsf rom Russian newspapers for your amuzement, which made me raise my eyebrow...


This one advertises grounded up deer horns as a good remedy for a whole list of illnesses. Although in the end it does say "It won't cure all diseases, but possibly, this is your new way to health!"




This one is just disturbing: "A family of three will take in an elderly woman or man without children, who don't want to go to a nursing home, but want to still happily many years live within a family, garden, fishing, little chickens. Warmth and care guaranteed."




And this one is just selling guns... one can purchase a Kalashnikov for only 300 EURS!
