My 6 month internship is coming to an end in July and the
next part of my first year in Munich is about to get a spin. For those who
follow me on BeerFeed you’re aware of my mini trips to Bamberg and most
recently Köln. We have a long weekend in Amsterdam just before we head home to
Canada for a few weeks. The good thing about working in Germany is definitely
the amount of holidays you get.
Morale is up and I don’t really feel homesick, I miss the casual hangouts with good friends and I used to miss hoppy beers but I recently found some niche stores that have more hops than I can dream of. I’m slowly getting used to the daily life and it’s not so different than the life in Canada. I got to meet some really nice people from around the world (mostly Europe), my geography is getting slightly better and so is my Deutsch.
I’m signing up for some intensive Deutsch courses over the months of September and October. After several comments about how difficult it is to work full-time and then go to class for 3 hours in the evening to learn a new language, I decided it was in my best interest to take morning classes and focus on learning Deutsch without any other distractions for two months.

So far, I was offered to be on a television show, I've made
some friends from the four corners of the planet, I've traveled to 2 countries
I've never been before and I learned a whole lot about beer. Until my next
status update I welcome your questions and comments.
