So I can now add Germany to the list of countries I have visited.
Or maybe, more accurately, I can add German transport to my list of foreign trains, taxis and buses. Though on this trip I did manage to do a little shopping. I somehow managed to pack two iPad chargers and no power cable for my MacBook. It's a good job the IPC were so impressed with my positive attitude they weren't too bothered by my typical DebbieDizziness. So I am now the proud owner of a MacBook power cable that works in Germany. And as I will be going there around five more times during my six-month contract, I clearly need one of those. I had a very busy two days - lots to take in. And have a very long 'to-do' list to tackle now I am home. Whilst I was there I also discovered:
One thing I notice when I'm abroad is that I seem to take on a strange accent - the same wherever I go. For example, I don't have a special France, Norway or Iceland accent. I did manage to shake it off after two days of meetings with Germans whose English is exceptional. However, back in the taxi to the station on the last day - I was back into uncontrollable, almost patronising, highly irritating accent. As an aside, whenever Stu and I travel his accent becomes much more noticeably Manc.
