Hello everyone,
first I'm gonna introduce my plan how to make up for the late post last Sunday. Because I was so inactive, I will go to 10 different blogs each day this week and leave a comment. These blogs will be published with links and a short introduction in my Wednesday and Sunday posts.
Isn't that a nice way to make it up to you?
Today I want to tell you quickly why I was so off this month. After finishing University exams early in May, I took a short vacation and then something amazing happened.
My application for an internship at a small publishers in Berlin turned into a full-time job offer. This means that I will be involved in publishing two children's books over the summer, which is just amazing. Unfortunately, they will be in German for now, so I can only tell you about it. It's really exciting for me, because I have lots of responsibilities and I get to know the publishing world first hand.
Where did you get your first publishing experience?
Total: 1280 km/800 miles
Second day: 520 km/330 miles
Monday morning, and I'm off again towards Berlin.
What happened with my bike?
Well, we went to a car repair shop and they managed to get the broken spark plug out of my engine and in a different shop we were lucky to get a new spark plug. Put it back in and happy me, when the motor sounded like I knew it. Once I drove off from the repair shop, I had such a big grin you wouldn't believe it. And a rush of light air wallowed up in my chest as well.
The weekend I spend with my friends, having BBQ, experiencing the amazing Ruhr, a metropolitan area in West Germany full of a mining history and fantastic new developments with superb green environments. Awesome how you can turn dirt into a beautiful tourist attraction. Then I went golfing and mostly relaxed before the last part of the trip.
Monday was fast. High velocity, to get the oil from the broken spark plug out of the engine. It was fun to drive on the German autobahn, as fast as I could, with 100 m/h or 160 km/h through the country. 6 hours later I arrived in Berlin without any complications. It's worth a ride, trust me. You see a lot on a bike and it's fun up the mountains and down again, even though yuo have flies sticking all over your visor.

New, special, second year. This blog is back on track and will be updated regularly from now on again. Sommer is over. Back to Uni, that's how it works.
But I don't only want to post regular work. It's about the whole experience. So here's the deal. My summer has turned out so successful that I won't be going back to Leicester by plane. Instead, I am going to take a roundtrip through Europe. One week from Berlin to England. On the way, I will stop in Leipzig, Frankfurt/Main, Brügge, London, and who knows where else. It's gonna be as spontaneous as I like. And I do like spontaneity.
I want to invite everybody to follow this exciting trip. See what happens. Watch through my eyes. And be excited about whether I'll ever gonna make it. I'm riding my new bike, Yamaha FZ6 Fazer! It's dangerous, it's hard, and most of all, it's a hell lot of fun. Pictures will go online every day and a review about the experience as well. Follow me, if you're interested in cities, histories, adventure and myself (... ;-)
