It has been more than a months since I have moved to Germany. And slowly things are coming together. My wife's visa is almost processed, my son's passport is ready, and i just found an apartment (which still needs furniture, paint, etc. - there goes a lot more money).
But it also means that, with the exception of a week in between when i was in Taiwan for a bike show, I have been seperated from my wife and my son for all that time. And I have to admit that has been the hardest part so far. When I left for Germany I thought I will just work hard, start arranging things, and the other free time I will work out or explore the area. So I will be busy and fine, and it will be fun. That was my plan, but ...
After about the first week already I started to really miss my family. I still have been trying to do everything I had planned to do, but it is not as much fun, because I am missing my family. And the weather doesn't help. It has been freezing ever since I arrived here.
Now I can somewhat imagine how many of the migrant workers feel who left their families behind to work in other countries. And they are often separated for years. And in earlier times these people often didn't know when of even if they would see their families again. At least I will see my wife and my son again in a little bit more than three weeks.
