What I learned:
- to leave my ego behind (it only holds you back to all the wonderful things you will learn and gives you some funny stories to tell :)
- to cook french food (yes, I know I'm in Germany but I had some French influences here)
- to eat more rice (my dad will be super happy about that but I still prefer basmati :P )
- to renew my passion as a media designer (would love to work with start up companies as a freelancer)
- to enjoy part time work (it gives you more balance and opportunity to learn other things and travel)
- to make spätzle (I wanted to know how so I can fulfill my cravings later :)
- to be a better drinker (yes I can now handle my beers and wine - I prefer the latter though and the apple ciders are super here - no, I am not an alcoholic :)
- the awesome friends I've met (I will miss you guys the most!)
- bratwurst (you can never have too many of those! - and with curry ketchup)
- flea markets (I love having those including fresh fruits and veggies)
- my bike (that little yellow sad thing made my life easier here lol)
- the awesome train system (we so need one in Canada - we're so behind)
- the super fast post (I still can't believe how fast my amazon.de ordered arrived and how fast my big box I sent home with stuff arrived)
- the cheap pub food here (you get a decent meal for only 3-5€)
- sitting out in the Schloss Garden and do nothing else but read
- the compost (it is part of the disposal pick up and you can even add meat)
- my Doxie scanner (this was the best thing ever. It helped with scanning forms I unexpected have to deal with back home and here. Great for scanning and sending applications. My roommates loved it)
- my Kindle 3G (this I got when I went back to Canada half way and it helps lighten my load and kept me entertained on the trains)
- an umbrella (rains like cats and dogs here in the other seasons than summer)
- a small bottle of Dawn liquid detergent (I use it to clean the oil from my glasses - I know, eww!)
- meds (you can never be too sure. I had quite a bit of my Advils more than I expected)
- my unlocked mobile phone (used Fonic pre-paid and loved it)
- a hot water bottle (it gets cold and it keeps me warm!)
