My very first trip to Canada took me to Ontario in October of 1995. Shortly before we had seen a video about the Indian Summer in English class and when my Dad took me with him to Toronto for a few days, all I wanted was to visit Algonquin Park. So we rented a car…
Schlagwort: Vancouver
An alphabetic Ode to Jena
Well, with our 1st year in Germany completed, I thought it would be about time to follow-up on my A-Z of things I miss about Vancouver with a list of great things I enjoy at the other side of the world. A – Apartment: I love our place here. The building is just over 100…
Happy Canada Day!
Thinking about maple leaves, maple syrup, red and white stripes, Canada Day parades, Oh Canada, BBQs, picnics, weekend get-a way’s, ferry line-ups, Canada flag tattoos, fireworks, music, friends! Someone asked me the other day what Vancouver is like. I talked at lengths about multiculturalism, because Canada Day reminds of how different nations can peacefully co-exist…
Year One … 10 findings
1. Moving sucks. 2. Moving continents is worse. 3. I won’t ever do that again. 4. There is still a chance, that I might do this again. 5. I can’t believe some of the things I decided to pack. What was I thinking?! I should have taken the pepper mill instead. 6. If you leave…

I always underestimate how much weather influences my well-being. It is a beautiful sunny Sunday today. We hit the playground in the morning, splashed a bit in the fountain on the way home and now my son is out in the back planting some seeds while I get to do some housework (and sneaking some…
Chitter Chatter Random Thoughts
Monday morning I woke up. The sky was clear and blue. After weeks of snow and rain and slush, it seems like spring is finally winning (I decided to ignore the weather forecast with snow for the weekend, just for today.). We had three days of beautiful sunshine. After my emotional rollercoaster weekend the storm…
Didn’t see that one coming…
Sunday morning. We started with a heart chakra meditation today. And I distinctively remember thinking to myself: oh no, I am going to get emotional. Well, little did I know how emotional… Rewind… Saturday afternoon. We were doing some spine loosening exercises that involved kicking one foot forward while swinging the arms overhead in the…
Today Is The Day
Moving Day is finally here. OMG, I never thought I would look forward to moving boxes again. I was so fed up with packing and unpacking just a little while ago. So we have been cleaning (or trying to anyway) all day to get rid of all the dust that gets left behind if you…
