After a 13-hour Manila-Amsterdam trip, plus a connecting flight to Germany, I’m finally in Berlin. I’ll be here for the next three weeks for a workshop on advanced multimedia and online journalism, so I’ll probably be updating a lot anyway. The weather’s nice and nippy, and I’m really excited to be in Europe at this time of the year, since I don’t usually find myself in other countries during autumn.

Can I just say, I’m really looking forward to learning and keeping my own place again. My apartment isn’t as roomy as the one I had last year, but it’s nice and quiet, with pinewood furniture, a small kitchen, and a huge lawn outside. Photos to follow soon! For now, I need to catch up on some sleep so I won’t waste my time on jet lag in the coming days.
