Dubliner In Deutschland: Other expats come and go but I'm still here
http://dublinerindeutschland.blogspot.com/2015/06/other-expats-come-and-go-but-im-still.html
Just a girl from Dublin, Ireland, living in southern Germany with my German husband blogging about my experiences. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Other expats come and go but I'm still here. One of the problems with making friends with other expats is that a lot of them are only living in Germany temporarily and eventually move back to their home countries (or some place else). In the almost five years I've lived here I've had to say goodbye countless times and it doesn't get any easier. I guess it's just a do...

Dubliner In Deutschland: March 2015

Just a girl from Dublin, Ireland, living in southern Germany with my German husband blogging about my experiences. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Paddy's Day - different but still good craic. Saint Patrick's Day, which is a national holiday and a big deal in Ireland, feels very different in Germany where it is more or less a non event in most places. This year I worked, which felt somewhat strange ( normally I take the day off. It would have been faster to point out the people who were. It's more about celeb...

Oktoberfest season is nearly here so it's time to dust off those dirndls and lederhosen! Actually you can pretty much wear the gear to most German festivales, even the Spring and Summer ones. And we recently went to an Oktoberfest themed birthday party where the dress code was tracht. Meaning traditional German costumes.

Dubliner In Deutschland: Hey You! The tricky subject of the German "you"
http://dublinerindeutschland.blogspot.com/2015/04/hey-you-tricky-subject-of-german-you.html
Just a girl from Dublin, Ireland, living in southern Germany with my German husband blogging about my experiences. Monday, April 20, 2015. The tricky subject of the German "you". Something that causes a lot of confusion for English speakers here is figuring out which form of "you" to use. The formal "Sie" or more casual "du". The rules go something like this. Normally if you meet someone and as you become friends they would probably ask "Können wir uns duzen? At work, a lot of companies have a general "d...

Dubliner In Deutschland: Run for your life
http://dublinerindeutschland.blogspot.com/2015/05/run-for-your-life.html
Just a girl from Dublin, Ireland, living in southern Germany with my German husband blogging about my experiences. Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Run for your life. To be honest I don't particularly enjoy jogging like some people seem to. Once the weather started to improve here recently I decided I would take it up again but I knew I needed some kind of extra incentive to motivate me. The GerMann and I follow the zombie TV series The Walking Dead. I've only done a few missions so far and the first was the most...

Just a girl from Dublin, Ireland, living in southern Germany with my German husband blogging about my experiences. Monday, July 6, 2015. Surviving a heatwave German style #MicroblogMonday. We are currently in the middle of an extreme heatwave in Germany. Even Ireland is experiencing one at the moment, though a heatwave there is just like a lovely summer with weather around 26 degrees Celsius, and a nice breeze whereas here it is more like 35-40 degrees and unbearable! I'm hoping this Summer I might manag...

Just a girl from Dublin, Ireland, living in southern Germany with my German husband blogging about my experiences. Sunday, May 17, 2015. WellAre you fluent yet? Without a doubt the top question people from home ask me has always been “are you fluent in German now? They pretty much started asking me that from my first few weeks living here! Recently, I came across an article. My first month or so living here I found myself exhausted each night from the effort of having to constantly translate everything i...

Dubliner In Deutschland: December 2014

Just a girl from Dublin, Ireland, living in southern Germany with my German husband blogging about my experiences. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Christmas this year was wonderful. The GerMann and I flew to Dublin a few days beforehand, and spent ten days there. My brother was also home from Australia and it was lovely having the whole family around. I also managed to meet up with most of my friends at some stage while we were back. Just the two of us). We'll watch the fireworks in our neighbourhood.

We spent last week on holidays in Lanzarote, one of the Canary islands. When we were in Mallorca. Before, we couldn't help noticing how many Germans there were. Well Lanzarote seems to be a top destination for fellow Irish people as we heard familiar accents everywhere we went! There was also an option to ride camels up the volcanic ...
