Moving to Berlin

I remember moving to Berlin February of 2009.  It was a dream come true.

My first visit in Berlin in June of 208 made a big impression that I wanted to stay there FOREVER!  Hahaha... Oh well, I'm exaggerating.  But I really want to stay there for a long time to get to know the city really good.

I was chatting with a friend - a Berliner - last night and it made all the memories of Berlin come flashing back.  My Berlin experience was extra-ordinary that I never would ever want to let go of it.

However he told me that I would not want to be in Berlin at this time as he is freezing his ass off inside his flat.  Berlin winters are really hard... and that if you survive it, you can survive the world, Berliners would say.

When I moved to Berlin in 2009, I was actually not sure what season it was.  I was even crazy enough to go out of my flat with just a dress, a thin leggings, a flat shoes... and no jacket.  I saw that there was sunshine and I thought winter has passed.  The half of the day went well when all of a sudden, the world outside turned dark and it began to snow!!!  How in the world can I then go back to my flat?!

My Berliner friends told me I was really crazy for going anywhere without a jacket and very less layer of clothes.  But I will always just tell them, "I will try my best to wear flipflops anywhere".

Well, I'm not a little crazy, I'll insist... while I am actually REALLY CRAZY! Hahaha...
