One month update.. a bit late

I have been here for a bit over a month now and i feel like the time has just flown by. Or at least kind of, i will have to admit that there have been days that have felt like weeks. But anyways, i have been quite busy at work and getting to know the city. I also had a friend visiting me three weeks ago and my cousin visited me last week. It's been nice to have some company from back home because they kind of make Berlin feel a bit homey to me.
Also the spring is slowly but surely starting in here and it's lovely how it is still light outside after i get to go home from work. The sun is shining, it's a lot of warmer and there are a lot of birds singing pretty much in every corner you walk across. And the best part, no snow!

(Side note: If you are planning doing a trip to the East Side Gallery anytime soon, just be aware that the walls are currently covered with fences because of some construction work and to protect the art work from random, not so nice looking, tags).
Kreuzberg hoods
On a roof top in Mitte
One of the many murals in Berlin
Little sweet reminders close to Alexanderplatz (these are everywhere)
The park that i like to call my backyard
Probably the best thai green curry i have ever had
Views from the ParkInn hotel on Alexanderplatz,
bungee jumping also possible from here ;)
More rooftops
 
This week has probably been the hardest one yet because i got really sick on last monday and i have been very ill since then. Read: i have stayed in bed from monday evening until friday morning. It's been one hell of a week but luckily i'm currently feeling a bit more cheery and not so zoned out. I have also experienced a lot more homesickness during this week than during this whole time i have been here, but i think it has a lot to do with falling ill all of the sudden and not having anyone to take care of you. But yeah the current homesickness made me have a change of plans and i started to think it would be nice to go home for a week when i have my one week off from work. We will see what happens. I did find some flights with really decent prices but i will have to figure out a good timing workwise with my boss, though i would be really intrigued to go at the end of next month (:
