GERMANY
I've finally managed to book flights back after however knows long money complications and general procrastination, which has helped in the sense that my life has some kind of direction again after two weeks of workless lying around.
I consider this week in particular to be the beginning of my grand re-introduction to British culture, because there are staff and students from our partner school in Tamworth and I've spent the last couple of days showing them Neuerburg and discussing things in a language I can express myself in without sounding like I'm referring to a kids book for material.
And because this last fortnight in particular I've been out of the house a great deal more with more people who I love in a foreigner kind of way, I've drawn up a list of what I will definitely miss and what I probably won't.
THINGS I WILL MISS
The Sky

THINGS I WILL MISS
The Sky
The Slovakians
The Germans
The Russians
My awesome classes
Jörg
My Russian homeboy
Causing accidental trouble in supermarkets
Watching sunsets and lunar eclipses from campervans with a beer
THINGS I WILL NOT MISS
The flies. Oh so many flies
The torrential fucking downpours which come after a week of 25° weather
I actually think that's everything. There's not a lot to dislike here.
I suppose it's worth mentioning that the eclipse photos do no justice to the actual thing; it was actually red, and we did stand for two hours watching it.
