Grüßen aus Berlin!!

So here I am, safely installed in Berlin, at the Juniorhotel am Wannsee. I'm living with three aussies who are all very nice, in a top-floor flat which has a fan oven - oh Joy!!

The picture (in case anyone was wondering) is of my mum's new cats: Lidii (left) and Rosa (right) who are very very pretty and getting to the tame stage..... nearly!

I've got my first day at work tomorrow, and am very excited about it. It's a Waldorf Schule, so there's a huge emphasis on the natural world, and on learning through experience rather than just sitting down and learning by rote off a blackboard. The teacher I'm working with, Frau Fischer seems really nice and was very excited that I could cook and bake.

I'm also trying to get information about the Folkshochschule here in Berlin, so that I can maybe take up some kind of course in the evenings and meet more German people. The aussies are lovely, but I need to speak a lot of german if I'm going to improve this year! I'm thinking maybe some kind of creative course - painting or something similar maybe.... will let you know!

Anyway, I'm the only one who's still typing so I'd better go. I saw lots of people in Potsdamer platz using their laptops, so I'm hopeful that there's a wifi zone there of some variety. I'm going to investigate cos it would be much better to internet from bea if I can, much more convenient...
