So here we are… my first blog post. Thankfully I do have some experience with WordPress from work, so I am able to start off writing. Maybe the first entry should be boring so that I do not set the standard too high. So I will start by sharing when and how I will most probably write future blog posts – so, here we are, evening hours in Munich, when I am home from the office, sitting at my computer and eating vegetable soup… 🙂 The entries should be more interesting than that though. Hopefully 🙂

Today was a very specific day not to the facts that I lost some money in the Forex market, had a very good (and long) day in the office and am getting ready for an important meeting for our position in Germany tomorrow. No, this day will be remembered as the day that I finally acted on my idea to start a blog. Hopefully I will at some point look back and remember this day with a smile of nostalgia on my face.

Of course as it is appropriate for a blog, here is a photograph so that you may relate to the environment in which this post is being written.

The soup is an interesting addition and will be a big topic in the future, as being healthy was one of the first things I stopped caring about when I went abroad. The sports routine from home falls apart and you end up eating junk food most of the time due to super long hours in the office. So my main challenge now is to get my health and fitness level back on track and to a level that I deem acceptable for my age (which means I need to be able to run a half marathon again). I guess I have a topic for the next post…
