I started, and failed to continue, this blog two years ago when I was a wide-eyed young expat, wet behind the ears, morally determined to blend into Germany. Sadly I was one of those expats who lived an essentially British lifestyle, with English speaking friends. I didn't watch the news and I met very few Germans whom I didn't actually work with.
But I did meet The Dutchman (he deserves two capitals). And now, two years on, we are living together in a very nice flat in the very nice city of The Hague. I am therefore on Team Holland, and wore my orange world cup colours with pride (and a little bit of roaring).
So now the expat experience starts all over again. Let's see if I can be a little better at documenting it.
Watch this space.
