Too long ago
It has been far too long since making a post on my blog! Way way too long a time has gone by, and even this post is a quick one.
I have been working now for about 4 weeks and so far I am really enjoying the job. Starting to learn the ins and outs of the company, and learning more and more about business daily.
Britta is now here in Australia! She has been here for just over a week, and I am really enjoying having her back here with me. We are now working on getting the visa, and on the weekend we bought a car!! Toyota for those that are interested.
The weekend is all but over, and it is time to sleep and get ready for the upcoming week. I still haven't forgotten about making a post about our Amsterdam trip, and will do a proper catch up soon.
Best to all! Scott

Job
Sorry for the lack of posting over the last week, but I have been really really busy working on job applications. My work has now paid off, I start a new job on Wednesday. I won't give everyone the name of the company, but I will say that it is doing networking installs, configs, documentation, and in coming months will hopefully move into more of a network design type role. I am really really looking forward to getting back to work (I wonder if I will say that in a few weeks)!!
The other great thing about the job is I get a company car. This is new territory for me, so I guess it means I will be going out to see clients a lot!! I always liked that aspect at GU, getting out of the office and seeing something different is always great to break up the days. In my new job I doubt I will really need to break up the days, there is so much to learn, and I really want to give it a good crack. I think this is certainly what I need, moving into the private sector. I really loved working at GU, it was a top place to work, people were mostly good, and it gave me so much experience, however I think this is the right time to move my career along. Maybe one day I would like to return to GU, but I guess we never really know what the future will bring.
On another note I have now finished unpacking all my stuff, and have got my room at Dad's place sorted out. I have the computer setup, and the wardrobes have been cleaned and are now somewhat organised. I have also cleaned up some space for Britty when she arrives in about 4 weeks. I am so looking forward to her coming, it has only been a week since I saw her, but I am missing Britty so much! Every afternoon I would look forward to that knock on the door of our flat in Kiel, when Britty would walk through. I guess in the coming months it will be the opposite way around when I return from work.
I have also had a lot of questions about this blog. In the future I will continue to blog, mostly for those people that don't get to see and hear what Britty and myself are up to. I am still planning on finishing the Amsterdam post, and my last days in Europe.
Hope to catch up with all you Australian based people soon (if I haven't already). Keep well. Scott

Back in OZ
Well I am back in Australia! That is the first time I have taken a flight from Europe to Brisbane non stop, and it is not much fun. I am not good at sleeping on planes, I really couldn't get comfortable, so all up I think I went about 35 hours before I got some sleep. Even then the sleep wasn't the best sleep because as soon as the sun was up, so was I. I have been use to the sun rising about 9am, now coming home and having it up by 5am really throws you out. I guess I will get use to it in the next few days.
Now it is onto searching for jobs. So far things are looking ok so I will keep everyone posted. Over the next few days and the weekend, I will do my best to catch up with people. Hope to see you soon.
I will also try to post the photos from Britty and my trip to Amsterdam. We used Britty's Mum's camera this time, so I need to get them uploaded to google before I can make the post. Amsterdam is a very cool and interesting city, with so much to do, and so much money to spend. I will post them in the coming days.
Hope everyone is well, and see the Australian people soon!

Great way to cool beer, and final day!!
After moving Saturday, I decided to have a few drinks to celerbrate. In Germany, who needs a freezer when you have Mother Nature.
Also today is my final day in Germany. Tomorrow it is off to Amsterdam. Really really looking forward to that. I think tonight we will also have a few drinks to celebrate. Maybe everyone in Germany will celebrate me leaving! :=) We have a huge bottle of champagne that was given to britty and myself by Sabine and Terry as a going away present! We will be sharing it with the rest of Britta's family tonight. It is just too big for us to drink by ourselves.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone in Germany that has helped make my stay so wonderful. The time here has been fantastic, and has let me experience the German way of life. I really really like the culture here, and I look forward to seeing you all again in the future!

Moving Sucks
Today made the move from Kiel to Brittys parents place. I have to say that after today, I think moving is the worst thing you will ever do. It completely sucks, but I guess you cant really do anything about it. If you need to move, you need to move. When Britty and myself both have jobs, I will sure as hell get someone to move for me. I think it will most certainly be worth the money.
Still continuing on the moving theme, tomorrow we have to clean. Now we have finally moved all the stuff, we will spend at least a day cleaning. What fun!!! I just cant wait until it is all over.
Anyways bye for now. Hope you all have a great Sunday.

Last Night in Kiel
Tonight is our last night in Kiel. Tomorrow we move all our stuff back to Britty's parents house, then next week its off to Amsterdam!! Then it is back to OZ to look for work.
It is a funny feeling to be packing everything up, Kiel has been such a cool place to live, and I have had some great times here. Looking back over the time, we have certainly had a lot of excitement. Summer was especially good, the weather was fantastic and there was so much to do. Going to the beach, riding the bikes, and just generally spending as much time outside as possible was really nice. Not to mention the World Cup, Kieler Week, and the fun associated with those events!
Now that winter is here we are obviously spending a lot more time inside, and without the fast Internet access I think I would have gone nuts. Sometimes though it is really nice to go outside in the really really fresh winter air, and over the last weeks we have been going out for a run at night. I have really enjoyed the change in Temperature, and the change in general. I am still however looking forward to the warm Brissy weather. I will be nice to see the sun most days.
Today finally produced some snow!!!! Yes, on the last day in Kiel, it snowed. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to go outside in the snow and take some photos. Only a few centimetres of snow fell, but it was enough to give everything a white covering. You can check out the photos here, and the best below.
I think I remember doing some blog posts about my plan to collect the beer bottles of the beers I try here in Germany. Well yesterday I placed the bottles I collected on the table, and this is the result. There were some really nice ones, but after trying all these I still don't know what my favorite is.
Well that just about does this post. Tomorrow I am going to pack up my computer for the trip home. So this is actually my last post from my own computer in Germany!! Have a great weekend where ever you are, and if you live in Australia, see you soon.

The view out the window toward the car park.
The view out the back window of our place, or should I say old place.
The kids playground over the road.
Cars completely covered in snow.
The small intersection on the other side of the car park.
A random front yard covered with snow.

I actually didn't gain too much weight from trying all these beers! Bit surprising really.
