It has been about a year since we moved to Melbourne and I am approaching my 12 month anniversary at my current position. All the clichés apply, time flies, where did the time go and the lot but in all honesty the past 12 months have been amazing, we have made new friends and aContinue reading “12 months!”

Winter… that is a surprise
It is November… no wait it is May… but it is cold… so it cannot be May… …but it is. That does sound confusing, well we are as confused as it sounds, in a funny sort of way. There is no harm here but it is interesting that our brainsContinue reading “Winter… that is a surprise”
Learning to adjust…
It is not easy to live in a place that is different to the place that you used to live before. I covered the cultural shock aspect of our immigration experience in my last post but there is more. We catch ourselves living our lives as if we were in Germany, I can not rememberContinue reading “Learning to adjust…”
Cultural Shock…
Ok, it seems that my blog has generated some discussions among our own friends, for good reason that is. We have had mood swings, bewilderment, enthusiasm, borderline depression, an overwhelming feeling of everything being different, we have criticised and we have been criticised and much more. There is a name for this… …it is calledContinue reading “Cultural Shock…”
Melbourne!
Our new home is the city of Melbourne. A city of more than 4 million people in the Southeast coast of Australia. It is as far as geography is concerned very far away from anywhere. The closest “big” city is Canberra although most Australians ignore that city, Adelaide and Sydney are about a day’s driveContinue reading “Melbourne!”
The new Asia
I love traveling in Asia. I missed out in my younger years but in the past 10 years I have been to many countries, one could spend a lifetime and not see it all. I love the people, the bustling cities, the colors, the food. I am in awe of the energy that is inContinue reading “The new Asia”
Friends, relatives and people that love you
People usually ask what is the one thing that you would like to take with you if you are ever stranded on an island, well my answer is my friends and -most- of my family. These past few weeks would not have been possible without them. On March 8th and 9th the moving company packedContinue reading “Friends, relatives and people that love you”
A trailer about our upcoming adventure
As many of us know Apple does some great products, recently I fooled around a bit with trailers on iMovie ’11. Here is an interesting trailer for our upcoming immigration to Australia.
Household is on the move
We are done, the household is on route to the warehouse where it will spend the next 6 months away from us. We are sad… very sad… we loved our place and this was our home for a decade. I am sure that in two weeks we will be excited and smiling but today isContinue reading “Household is on the move”
Global Citizen
It is no secret that I despite the fact that I am Greek by birth I feel more at home in an anglophone world. The irony is, I spend most of my life in the German world and I carry a German passport, indeed it is my “main” passport. I am at home here. MyContinue reading “Global Citizen”
Tropical Queensland – Part 2
We were sick by now of the rain so we decided to find a place that we at least did not get wet. It was a bit difficult as the whole region between the Fiji Islands and most of Northern Queensland was heavily influenced by a series of cyclones, the radar showed covered skies everywhere. Continue reading “Tropical Queensland – Part 2”
Tropical Queensland
It has been a few weeks since we are back home but there are a couple more posts at least to complete our trip to Australia. The last week we were there we went up to Port Douglas, fully aware that a cyclone had devastated Fiji and Whitesunday but we had booked and organized everythingContinue reading “Tropical Queensland”
