About the Relle

Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand I was nearing my completion of the tried and true steps to becoming an adult. University? check! Job of 2 years? Check! Living independently away from home? Check! Ready for something more challenging and a whole lot bigger than Auckland, I moved to Berlin in April 2010. As a Kiwi, avoiding an OE is about as unlikely as Tom Cruise converting to sanity, although choosing Berlin made for a pretty bold move. Not being ready for adulthood and frightened by the multitude of friends marrying and contemplating children..it was time to gap. Armed with very little comprehension of the German language but a big yearning for all things unknown we set off on one big year adventure. I aim to provide insight into life on the other side and hopefully convince all those doubtful kids out there that you can conquer Berlin!

Lederhose - knickerbockers or shorts made of leather

This is my first post and boy is it a goody!  I had my final German lesson last night, seven solid weeks every Tuesday for two hours.  Given I am a fresh graduate of beginner German, my German juices are flowing and I cannot wait to unleash on you.  You could even treat this as an educational post :) 

As a beginner I gather the most important things to know in German are...
  • Bier                Beer
  • Rotwein        Red wine
  • Kasekuchen   Cheesecake
  • Apfelkuchen   Apple cake
And lastly...
  • Ich mochte    I would like

Now...to finish, here is a picture of me wearing a vital item of German clothing, enjoy for now.  Relle
