What is this Expat life but one of Contrasts?\u00a0\u00a0 Contrasts of life both old and new, memories, emotions, and of course surroundings. \u00a0 And it’s the contrasting and comparing of new discoveries and scenery that is perhaps my favourite part of it all…<\/p>\n

A few pictures of things that will always remind me of our first “temporary home” in Denmark<\/a>… Nyhavn – A regular meeting point,\u00a0 “Copenhagen transport”, Fastleavn B\u00f8ller, Summer Krebs, and endless beaches…<\/p>\n

To the contrasting scenery of this, our second “temporary home” in Bavaria… A new meeting point (Marienplatz!), Munich’s amazing bier gartens, the gorgeous lakes<\/a> and mountains that surround us,\u00a0 its famous Christmas Markets<\/a>, and my favourite – the brezens!<\/p>\n

They both have one thing in common though, lots of this:\u00a0 –<\/p>\n

I will admit to being a little down on this whole living abroad thing of late,\u00a0 probably thanks to the four-year mark which is fast approaching. \u00a0\u00a0 Who knows whether it will be a case of “where next” or “back home” in a few years time?\u00a0 At the moment, I think we would all prefer the latter, but only time will tell.\u00a0 The stubborn part of me is still determined to make the most of it however, and to keep on appreciating why for now at least, different is good…<\/p>\n
