All those numbers also equal four years. It's four years today that we've been in Berlin. In a lot of ways a lot has changed since we came here... I think we see the world somewhat differently now. In a lot of ways I am not the same person, who came here on the 24th of January 2006. Perhaps Berlin has made me more introverted and more focused on our little family.
After coming back from Russia this time around I felt at home here - in this city. I guess the same way that I feel at home in Melbourne and in Novosibirsk. It is comfortable, familiar and safe in many ways. I feel at home in our flat. This is a first since the apartment in Russia when I was a child growing up before we immigrated to Australia.
It has been a good four years. 2009 has been the best so far for me. We had a good mix of time travelling and being here. We had some wonderful people come and visit. We found out that we're going to have a baby. The summer was warm and sunny, which always makes us happy.
All in all Berlin has been very kind to us and we're very lucky and grateful to be here how we are.
