One of the best things about blogging is that it's allowed me to meet some truly awe-inspiring people!! Susan and I have been "conversing" over blogger for some time now. She was originally pursuing her Ph.D. in Maryland (my home state!) and is married to her husband who is a German National. And is now continuing as a Ph.D. candidate here in Germany.

It was really interesting hearing about her research especially from someone who has so much passion for what they do. AND connecting with someone who is an American living in a foreign country and all of the trials, tribulations and inconveniences that go along with it. It's so frustrating explaining to people that LIVE stateside and travel overseas for vacation that VACATIONING in a foreign country is ENTIRELY different then LIVING in one. And no for the 72923874 time I DON'T want to visit every single church/building/tourist trap I come across. The Hubs & I want to live (& travel like the locals do! ie. enjoy the food, shopping & people watching!). And how we both TOTES miss Target muhahaha! So grateful to finally realize I wasn't crazy lol!!
I wish you all the best in your future endeavors Susan and I'm really looking forward to reading your published work one of these days!!!
Digging in!!
Susan I had such an lovely time meeting both you and your husband. Thank you for showing us a good time (and that hot mess that was going on behind us LOL!)
I look forward to to our next "double date"! :)
Yums! The food looks totally legit.. I've never visited Germany but are the Asian restaurants run by the same people? Ie Japanese by Japanese, Chinese by Chinese.. etc?
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to know someone who understands where you are coming from, having been through the same situation. Glad you found a kindred spirit all the way in Germany!
Speaking of Target.. I MISS SHOPPING THERE TOO!! When I was in Australia, I used to look forward to their designer collabs, crazy prices on everything, knick knacks, they had everythingggg LOL Is the store pronounced Tar-GAY or Target? I think I heard Oprah saying it was Tar-GAY but in Australia its just pronounced Target (even in their commercials).
Have a good week ahead, Lisa!

Sounds like it was a super fun meet up. Love that!! I'm sure living in a foreign country is nothing like visiting it!! I hear you about the touristy things. When I was in Spain with school, I use to be like oh ABC, Another Bloody Cathedral. I totally lost count how many I saw. Isn't that terrible. ha!
ReplyDeleteBest, Mree
Thats so wonderful that you got to meet up and share a fun evening out, looks like a great time. I honestly don't thinkI could survive living in a foreign place, I get homesick after 2 weeks on holiday. The drinks look so yum, whats Vietnamese coffee like?
ReplyDeleteYou guys look very happy. But I love the food more.

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely day out! This is what I like about blogging too. Conversing with blog friends over the years till a firm friendship is formed and then connecting real life and realising that the friendship is so beautifully forged. It is cool to have a double date too!
