Here we are again

So...almost 2 years since I've written anything. Feels weird. To write again.
But a few weeks ago I met an INSEAD partner who read my blog during that special year in France. And she gave me the final push to write again. Ever since, I've been writing entire blog posts in my head, so today I decided to take the jump and put some of those words out there again.
Sorry if I sound a bit rusty. Let's say I need to get back into practice.


Anyway....
I'm in Germany. That's right. Bavaria even, for Christ's sake. Can't get more german than that. I followed P together with The Little Man and his brand new Baby Sis to this city that claims itself "international" (insert loud ironic laughter). Guess Brussels spoiled us a bit too much on that part.
P has been here now since July, me and the kids arrived beginning of December.


There's lots and lots to write about already.
Like the fact that they love cash money, and you can even find Mc Do's where you can only pay cash.
Like bakeries that don't have bread slicing machines.
Like having beers before noon (guilty as charged).
Like having found a great paediatrician.
Like waking up with 50 cm of snow on your terrace.
Like going to your first "new moms' group" and meeting someone who has lived minutes from your doorstep in Brussels for 10 years.
Like what it's like to be stuck at home with two kids - and we're only even at the beginning of that one.
Like how I survived unpacking +100 boxes with about 3 hours of sleep every night.
Like how I get happy as a child every time I see a glimpse of the Alps.
Like what an administrative nightmare moving countries is.
Etc etc.


Seriously, I don't know where to start. Guess that only means I should have started earlier.
