So long, fairwell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye



Just as the sun sets outside my office in Bonn, so too is my time setting in Germany. It is Friday, December 14th, which is my last day at work at Empirica, and soon Lydia and I will by flying off to Thailand to meet up with my brother for Christmas!

I've got mixed feelings about going right now. Leaving Germany will be hard, because Lydia and I have had such a great time here. Living in Bonn has given us the chance to explore Germany and Europe, and to go on many adventures together, which has made for one of the best times of my life. We've also made a lot of friends here, and it is going to be difficult to leave them all, especially as we were just starting to get to know them. That said, we are also incredibly excited to go to Thailand, and we are also quite excited to come home and see all of our friends and family again!

My experience of working for Empirica was also very interesting for me. The job had its ups and downs (I managed to do a fair bit, but not quite everything that I wanted to do), but it opened my eyes to a lot of things, and it gave me the experience that I simply would not be able to get in Canada. Aside from the work experience, this term gave me the kind of life experience that can only be gained through travel. I would recommend this type of co-op to anyone who is even thinking about the possibility of taking on such a work term.

I'd like to thank the readers of this blog for their time in keeping up with Lydia's and my life. I tried to keep things as 'infotaining' as possible, so I hope you enjoyed the read.

As I mentioned before, Lydia and I are now off to Thailand, and strictly due to the reason that we will be spending all of our time on having fun, I will not be able to make any blog posts while we're there;) We will, however, be returning to Canada on January 2nd, and we would be more than happy to give you all of the details on how many elephants we rode, how many cocktails we drank (if we can remember), and how many massages we had, if you would like to inquire. Feel free to drop us an email along the way as well (ty_bone@hotmail.com) to give us an update on how your holidays are going.

We miss you all, and we're looking forward to seeing you very soon!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! (and for Roberto Luongo to have a speedy recovery)

That's all for this blog,

Tyrone (and Lydia)
