... has been to have less time for our son. This has of course nothing to do with living in Germany, but with having a new, regular (8-5 Job). In Taipei I was working for Radio Taiwan International was born and had a much more flexible working schedule. So for the first one and a half years after our son was born I was able to be at home a lot during the day. So he was used to see me in the mornings, and especially when he was able to get out of his bed himself he would run to my study and look for me. We also were able to go out together quite often. Be it only downstairs, walk around the lake nearby, get food, or even "explore" the city.
Now, most of the time, I am already gone when he wakes up, and I come home only around 6 PM. So there is not much time I can spend with him. So sometimes he tells me: "Papa, don't go to work".
I dearly miss the times when I was able to spend more time with him. It is not very likely that this kind of job will come around again, so I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to work for the radio back in Taipei.
