The next chapter of our life: Berlin!

The next chapter of our life: Berlin! (we’ve just arrived here) Before Covid, my wife and I had planned to come to Europe and work there, which was unfortunately thwarted. Instead, we were blessed with a great opportunity to live and work in Taiwan. What we experienced in Taiwan was precious in many ways and it’s going to be a huge plus for us in the future. Having said that, our original plan to go to Europe and work there has always been in the corner of our mind. We’ve decided to give it a try this year. I always hear that Berlin is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, with its distinctive vibes. I have so many things I want to do in Germany. To name a few, 1. Teaching Japanese literature discussion classes face-to-face! 2. Teaching English and Japanese 3. Meeting with people I’ve got connected with through Instagram Having lived in London and Paris myself, the Berlin experience will definitely deepen my understanding of Europe. Especially, since Berlin is the city of art with so many cultural activities going on daily, I’m convinced that I can enjoy the life here. Needless to say, living and working here in Berlin is going to be a new and big challenge for both of us. Still, we would like to get out of our comfort zones and expose ourselves to something new. One of the first demanding hurdles is going to be the language of German, which I’ve always wanted to learn seriously. Looking forward to learning a new language and its rich culture behind it! If you’re in Europe and can have a cup of coffee with me, do contact me! Looking forward to seeing you in person!
