Just a wee notette to round up my rovings in Eastern Europe. Currently I'm sat in an internet café in Berlin, having spent the past couple of days here arranging accommodation for my semester at Humboldt-Universität, starting the end of this month. I got here Sunday afternoon after 14 hours' train journey, and it's been fairly hectic since. Thankfully everything's pretty much sorted now, and I fly back to England tomorrow.
Though it's been shorter than originally intended, I've really enjoyed my backpacking around Europe. I've seen lots of new things and learned a lot, and it's been a whole new style of living. I've enjoyed seeing a different city nearly every day - there are some places I'd have like to have spent more time in, but now I know that I can perhaps come back some time in the future. Certainly I'd like to see more of Slovenia, Slovakia and Croatia, and probably spend some more time in Cesky Krumlov too. I've had a great time, meeting loads of new people while at the same time getting a certain sense of independence and personal achievement you can probably only get from travelling alone. Now it's time to get back to the grind and organise things for what should be a busy semester in Berlin - I'm expecting it to be a bit heavier on the workload than Sweden was, so it'll take a bit of getting used to! All the same, I'm really looking forward to it. Berlin seems like a lively place, I'm sure there'll be plenty here and in the rest of the German-speaking lands to keep me occupied for a few months...
Bis bald! Ian
