When asked about Berlin the first thing that comes to mind is a city known for the wall that divided a nation. With the wall behind them, Berlin has really become a modern city with some impressive architecture and very a important story to tell.
So, just another update on the daily happenings around our neck of the woods. We’ve been here for just over 8 months now and we’re well and truly into the swing of ‘English’ life. Most people would say that the cultures are similar, but as someone said to me the other day, it’s quite odd how they’re not. Sure, you don’t have a language barrier (well, that’s debatable), but there are quite a few differences in lifestyle. For example, it’s (almost) unheard of to play sport after work. Gym - yes. Sport? Isn’t that what Aussies and Saffa’s do?
Josh’s album has been updated with Chrissy and his 2nd birthday for anyone who hasn’t had enough of him. Is that even possible?!
We’ve also updated with all our latest travels, Chinese New Year and Regina’s going away party 
A post for a general update really, for the few people that actually do check up on this site to see where we’re at. This was a big week, so thought I might write down what’s going on in this part of the Northern hemisphere!
As most of you probably know, I was never a big person for weddings. That was, of course, until I got married myself! Now I am completely obsessed - I love going to weddings, seeing photos of weddings and have asked Kim countless times to come with me to wedding expos - since our wedding
But the best part about weddings is, of course, seeing your friends and family tie the knot.
We spent a beautiful weekend in Porto, Portugal and lapped up the sun and extended daylight! We used to always think the Pomms were crazy wearing t-shirts when it hit 12 degrees… until we did the exact same thing along the river bank in Porto!
Yeah, yeah, mock us all you like… it was hot ok! Probably not as hot as in Melbourne over the last month or so, but the middle of winter in London is damn chilly! Read the rest of this entry »
Since moving to London it seems nearly impossible to escape the constant scrubbing of lime scale. The hard water here makes cleaning a real B****. With new chrome fittings in the bathroom it has turned out to be a real nightmare/obsession of a job. After trying 4 different lime scale destroying products but after 30 minutes with each and very little results I was about to give up.
Being male, classically known as being lazy, I am proud to say that my laziness and ability to search Google efficiently has proven to be very successful in not only saving a lot of sore arms, but my new lime scale “destroyer” is much much cheaper than any cleaning product. So Google here I come - no more elbow grease. Read the rest of this entry »
We had a great time in the gorgeous city of Frankfurt with our bestest buddy Guy to celebrate Australia Day! My favourite place in Europe (thus far) and not for any specific reason, but maybe because it felt so much like Melbourne… or just the great company

We went away this weekend to Oxford. Although we’re sure there is plenty to do there other than check out the many many colleges and uni’s, the highlight for us was the Boost Juice Bar we found in a shopping mall - all the way from Australia! Needless to say, we had a few during our stay It felt like we were at home! *sigh* the things you miss while away from home…
