After a visit in the 'capital'....

...of former West Germany, namely Bonn. I visited a close friend from University. It was really easy to get there from Amsterdam. Only 3 hours by train. And it was quite a nice train ride also. Everything seems to be fine with the 'masked avenger'. And I was delighted to see that she seemed to be settled in. I was however a bit disappointed since you think of something totally different when you say 'Capital City of country X'. Bonn hardly felt like a capital and even though I was disappointed I also enjoyed that it lacked the big city pulse and that everything was so green. So all in all a very good trip.

I have started my new job which is a 40% increase of my former salary. Which is very nice of course. I also feel that the company cares more for my well-being than the previous one which also is nice. Fore sure there will be career opportunities if I choose to within the company and also possibilities to go back to Sweden or move to other countries and still stay with the company. In short: 'I am in.'

However I will still look for PhD. That is my main interest and yes...it is going to mean a lower salary possibly but still at least I feel somewhat 'safe' having a job with a future.

It has been some time since I wrote anything but now I have done so. I will see if there is any photos to add next time I write something. But for now. Enjoy the summer or what is left of it. Again today the weather is switching into something that looks more like autumn....bollocks.
