This new blog shall be where I write about a new and exciting chapter of my life. I will be flying off to Germany (Singapore > Frankfurt > Ludwigshafen) in about two weeks time! This will be a long trip which lasts 18 months. I have never been away from the comfort of home this long, the longest trip away from home was six months in the United States. Nonetheless, I am still eagerly looking forward to this move to Germany!

To my dear family and friends, on top of the usual phone calls, text messages, msn and facebook, I hope this blog will be another great way for us to keep in contact. You will read about how I am doing in Germany and who knows, after reading all about my experiences and looking at these photos, you might hop on the next plane to Germany to catch a glimpse of the fun and immerse yourself in the beautiful atmosphere here!

To my dear Cindy, I know you will diligently read this blog since you are the only person I know who keeps, maintains and reads blogs frequently. So I promise I will try to keep this blog alive and post lots of wonderful photos for you!

To the random passerby reading this, you might have wandered here while searching for information on Germany for your trip or relocation (work/travel/study). Hopefully, you will find my stories here useful for your plans. Best of luck to your trip!

My posts here are categorised into five different parts. If you ask me why, I honestly have to say it’s because this Wordpress template was made that way… haha! After some brain exercises, I’ve decided to make the five categories as follows:

• Living
  This section will be used as a personal blog to share the joys in my everyday life or to vent my frustrations (if any, they are rare) in. I will talk about the mundane things in life or the German way of living for you to get an idea of how it is like living and working in Germany. Gooo cultural differences! Some may hate it, but I love it!
• Food
  I am pretty sure it is a well-known fact by my family and friends that I am a self-confessed gourmand. I simply adore food! In my terms, eating good food is equivalent (if not better) than a spa retreat. Here, I will write about food and restaurants in Germany or across Europe. And of course, I will share with you my experiences in attempting to create these mouth-satiating dishes.
• Buzz
  Need to find out more about the festivals, holidays, entertainment spots and shopping districts here in Germany? Here’s the right place to read all about the buzz because I have made it a goal to attend all the exciting events and festivals here in Germany/Europe and soak in their festive mood!
• Travelogue
  I am planning to tour all around Europe while I’m here in Germany. I like the fact that Germany is the gateway to the other European countries, makes it easier and cheaper for me to get around. This will be a journal where I tell about the adventures and experiences during my travels.
• Preparation
  In this section, you will read about the important and more mundane information about getting ready for you relocation or trip to Germany. You will most likely find these information on other websites, but here are my own experiences in dealing with all the paperwork and preparations with the German authorities for the big move to Germany.

That’s all I have for now! Thank you for visiting this humble space and stay tuned for more updates.
