An end - and a new beginning awaits

My time in mama Rossiya is coming to an end; next Thursday I will already be in Lativa. I'm busy cleaning - mostly my computer in the office, planning my last days and yet trying to ignore the fact that I'm leaving.
Tomorrow we will have a big drinking-party event in the office, leaving Telphin will be hard. My co-workers are crazy, but the best co-workers in the world! :-)
Saturday - after having recovered from Friday night - my official farewell party will take place in my flat and in the center. I wanna go to Datcha once more...

I have had a GREAT year in St. Petersburg! I do believe that I was meant to be here, but I'm also ready to move on. I'm as sad about leaving as I'm happy to go back home. But I will be back in Russia for lots of visits for sure!!!

Thanks to everyone for making this year so special... Things and people kept changing throughout the year!
@Simona: You were here when I arrived and you showed me the city and made me feel home! I'm really glad we became good friends! AND: it's your turn to visit me in Germany! ;-)
@Yuan, Pawel and John: I had a lot of fun hanging out on Nevski and Datcha all summer long! I got a pretty good idea of what it's like to be a guy :-) and sorry for abusing you as female friends sometimes ;-) You guys made my summer!
@Sonya: You know how desperate I was for real female company when you arrived ;-) but it wasn't only that which made us become friends. It just made me "sticky" in the beginning ;-) Although we disagree about things from time to time, I believe to have found a soul mate in you and I hope we will keep in touch!
@Igor: Thanks for entertaining me in ICQ and being a great travel partner to Siberia! :-))) And please drive carefully and stay in love with real people!!! Although I'm not moving to Jena, I will stop by sometime soon!
@Trainees: Armen, Chinxao, Cristina, Daniel, Jenny, Judit, Karl, Laura, Louise, Mari Sophie, Masha, Rosa, Samson, Shekar. Thanks for being my family!!! Take care, keep in touch and see you! ;-)
@AIESEC: thanks for making this year possible! As individuals you guys are great people!
@Telphin: :-((( Will just miss you so much! Keep in touch! But forget all the German words and phrases you have learned...

and to everyone else I met and haven't mentioned: thanks!!! The most important and impressive experience this year was YOU, all the people I met with their different opinions and culture!

Good bye, Russia! It's a love/hate relationship ;-) but I will mostly remember the good things!


@Germany: I'm looking forward to see everyone there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
