Well I can’t sleep, so I thought this would be a good time to finally update on a bit of what I’ve been up to the past few weeks.
These past two weeks have been the autumn school holidays, so two weeks off! I think one of the bets bits about school were the breaks. [...]

Things I miss… Monster Munch Pickled Onion
September 21st, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
I think Things I Miss is probably going to centre mostly on food…
I eat far too much Pickled Onion Monster Munch, so maybe it’s not such a bad thing that they’re not around for me to eat copious amounts of nowadays. BUT THEY TASTE SO GOOOOOOOOD. I’m the type of person who will [...]

Things I miss… Baked Beans
September 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
Words cannot describe how much I miss these suckers. Classic student food, the musical fruit, even the Tesco value ones are nom. But in Germany? You can’t really get them. Well that’s not technically true – you can get them in some places few and far between, but at about 2 Euros a tin, [...]

BOB GELDOF!!
September 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
We saw Bob Geldof in Dortmund!
BOB ‘GIVE US YOUR FOOKING MONEY’ GELDOF!
He was playing in Dortmund city centre as part of an anti-Nazi concert thing – apparently Dortmund has a problem with Nazi demonstrators, something which the population of Dortmund clearly (and understandably!!) has a problem with.
I’m not entirely sure why we were [...]
Altenberg = Nothing to worry about
September 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
It’s been a week?!
Over a week actually, since I flew to Germany with one kg too many… Right now I’m meant to be going to the Buergersamt to register, but I’ve just made plans to go a bit later!
The induction course at Altenberg was ridiculous amounts of fun, despite early mornings, loads of lesson things [...]

Hallo Deutschland v.2
August 30th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Germany
The Internet is fairly shoddy here, so when I attempted to publish my blog post from Windows Live Writer, it crashed presumably because it couldn’t connect properly. Sad times
So, here’s the long and short of it! I’m in a hostel in Cologne right now after having arrived yesterday with two of my friends [...]

New new neeeew
August 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
I have new things!
For example, new glasses :
So worth the money. My old glasses had lost the nose pads, were wonky and about three years old! I like these ones because they don’t cover my face as much but are still kinda cool. Has to be said, the selection of (affordable non-designer) glasses at Specsavers [...]

August 8th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Germany, being crafty
Lots and lots has happened since I last wrote (or gushed…) about Torchwood!
1) I found a place to live in Dortmund! I’m sub-leasing the room of a girl who is going to Wolverhampton until March – I spoke to one of my housemates today, he seemed really cool. They’re all photographers, which should be interesting! [...]

Bad Blogger! Bad!
July 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
Arghhh I totally promised myself that I’d write more, but I’ve been such a lazy arse – actually strictly speaking, for once, it’s not down to laziness, it’s been down to being so goddamned busy!
However, as I did want to document the Germany year abroad process, this is a bad move on my part as [...]
