So, settling down in Berlin is going well. The weather is beautiful. It's summer and I have done my first stick walk today at the Neuköln park – which is massive, and full of people sun bathing and young black men hanging around (alone, spread out across the park different corners), and theres’s also a Tivoli and a police car… When it comes to the weather I think May and June were the perfect timing for this stay abroad.
I’m not the only one who’s into this city. Also by chance I met on the street next to my flat another IDA (Ideology and Discourse Analysis) colleague from Essex, Coady, who was kinda looking for a flat here for himself and the family. It’s so cool to see many of the IDA people next week in Colchester when I come for a few days.
Now, to finish the official parts of the day, I need to go and register as a resident here today and open a bank account if I still have the time. And get the German SIM card for my phone…
