Back in Germany, back in Berlin, back home. This will be my last blog entry and a summary how the last 8 weeks were. The last 8 weeks were one of the hardest but also one of the greatest time in my life. <!--more-->I saw so many fantastic and exciting places. I learned so much at Anaeko and former colleagues of the Afib became friends of mine. But now the time is over and I can move forward but I think I also have to be very thankful. I&#8217;m not the kind of a**kisser but to my mind some persons should I mention. Of course I have to thank my company in Germany the &#8222;Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin&#8220;, as part of the Afib, that they gave all of us the opportunity to move aboard to a country were we maybe never return to. I think a lot of people dream to work aboard and we got the opportunity and for that I&#8217;m very thankful. I also have to thank Colm and the whole Anaeko team, that I had the opportunity to work for there company and for all the trust they had in me. And last but not least I should thank Max for not killing me during our eight weeks together in one room. Just recognize: This crazy guy endured for eight weeks in a room with myself and went almost every day to the sport with me. Not even I would endure that. Thanks for not strangling me during I slept.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1536\" src=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.43-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.43-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.43-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.43-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.43-200x113.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.43.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So what did I on my first day back in Germany? My parents brought my car to the airport because they had to go to Leipzig and I had the opportunity to drive car again. I brought Max home so that he didn&#8217;t had to go home by S-Bahn. After that I went to my girlfriend and surprised her. And after all business was done I went to my favorite kebab shop, got myself a kebab and sat into the garden of my parents and just relaxed until they arrived from Leipzig. In the evening we made barbecue and I went back to Berlin in my apartment and saw my housemate again. Tomorrow we have school so with time moving forward everything will be back to normal soon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1537\" src=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.42-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"397\" height=\"706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.42-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.42-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.42-113x200.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2017\/files\/2017\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2017-07-06-at-13.21.42.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 85vw, 397px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All in all I can say I really enjoyed the time aboard. Will I return to Belfast one day? I don&#8217;t know yet maybe for holiday but absolutely not for living aboard. Don&#8217;t misunderstand me in the last eight weeks I had a really great time and I learned a lot of things but the most important thing I learned is the a famous catchphrase of Germany is absolutely true: &#8222;Zuhause ist es immer noch am sch\u00f6nsten&#8220;.
