We moved from Germany to Kaliningrad 8 months ago. Our children already attend school and a private kindergarten. But I still haven’t decided what to do about work. There was a lot of paperwork, and I also have to help the children a lot with their homework, since they study in different shifts.
But I want to say that I really like it here. The most important thing is the people!!! The people in Russia are wonderful. Seeing these Russian faces on the street, hearing Russian spoken all around you, knowing that you can approach anyone and strike up a conversation without being taken for a "nutcase"—that’s a wonderful feeling. I wish everyone success in their endeavors and hope you find a cozy home and inner peace.
