My final day in Germany has arrived. Has it been too long? Has it come too soon? It's hard to say. On the one hand, certain aspects of England call me back, on the other hand, there is still so much in Germany that I have not done or seen, and Stralsund, as snow ridden, out of the way and unashamedly German as it is, has started to feel just a little bit like home.
Don't worry Germany, I'll be back.
When leaving a country, the days are action packed. My to do list is extensive, with things being added about three times as fast as I can cross them off. The people at the bank will probably be glad to see the back of me, the number of times I've been in and out trying to sort out all things financial.
Presents for the teachers, the landlady and the school kids have been bought and dispatched- kids of all ages and nationalities love baked goods with Smarties! I have received all kinds of goodbye cards and presents too, and given my address out to most of the girls in the fourth class- I am not expecting too much fan mail, but you never know.
I will miss Stralsund, and the people I've met here. I will miss the lifestyle too, and of course the bakeries.
With my cases packed (please please Ryanair, let me be below the luggage limit!), my flat cleaned, the keys returned and my goodbyes said, all that is left to say is:
Goodbye Germany!
And Bis Bald- I hope I'll be back soon...
