Comment on First year in Germany - a retrospective by Sue Stones

I am glad to see that things are looking up for you, having seen no posts here over the year I was wondering what was going on. It sounds like you have learnt a lot, and I would be very interested to read your comparisons of rails and django; my first impression being django may be easier to work with, but harder to find hosting.

Love to all the family,

sue

Gday Big Man.
I was going through old emails looking for my skype address and found you there… found the website and bam!
Didn’t know that you had moved to Berlin. Good to hear we have somewhere to visit when we come over with our 5 kids sometime ;)

I am STILL studying, but will be finished this year. Have had a couple of hurdles but have cleared them now and hope to be done soon. Michelle had started a grad dip in psychology but we decided it was best to wait until I finished before she started again.

Hi Jeremy! Thanks - yeah, so far things are working out well. Did you guys find it easy to settle in in Singapore?

Sure, just let me know what kind of trip to Aus you’re planning, and I’ll give you some tips from my perspective :)

Leigh! Sorry - had forgotten to hook up my comment alerts…

If you and sunshine can get over here, we’d love to take you both on bike tours of Berlin! And yep, we’ve got a spare bedroom ready and waiting if you can make it soon ;), otherwise, we’ll be moving outside of Berlin in May, but it’s only a short trip in.

Travelling with the kids is a bit easier now, but we’ll work our way up slowly to the 20hrs to NZ!

Ubuntu Linux! that’s great. That is really great. Someday soon I really hope Sunshine and I will be on bikes getting a tour of Berlin. I have always wanted to visit, and we should before we do something crazy like start a family.

Your family must be nearly old enough to travel too hey? Anytime you feel like a trip to NZ, our place is your place.

Hi Rob! Congratulations on the birth of Felix! Glenda was telling us last week (on the phone) how beautiful he is, and how happy you are! Thanks for the encouragement to write more…

Do you know where abouts your friend will be moving to in Berlin? If they’re keen to chat about the move, feel free to give them my skype id (absoludity).

Hi Michael, Looks like you’re having a great time. A friend of ours has just had a bub and will be moving to Berlin mid year. So very keen to read of berlinerlife. FTR Anthea and I had a little boy Felix on 18th Jan. I had all first term off which was great, will be very interested in reading more of your experiences with the kids. cheers
