So, not having blogged in a while, and not having had much to say, I stopped. Partly laziness, and partly thinking "why would anyone want to know that?".
Anyhow, here is our update.
In September 2009 Trinity, Mila and I left Seoul and flew to New Zealand. We made the decision as a family to spend the next 6 months apart from John as the girls were both wigging out in Korea. Being little blondes, everytime we went out they were photographed, touched, given candy ... basically they hated it. Added to this was the problem of schooling for them. The international schools were way too expensive, and the Korean schools were not willing to take any children that didn't speak Korean. So we left John behind to finish up his contract, and landed on my Mum and Dad in Wellington.
The girls quickly settled into school, I found a job and we had a wonderful time catching up with old friends and family. The time in New Zealand had it's ups and downs - my Dad had a minor stroke, my Mum had a knee reconstruction operation and my Sister got married. John was able through the grace of our good friends to come and stay for 3 weeks over summer, which was wonderful. Our first time as a 4 person family together in New Zealand.
We left New Zealand again in early April, and winged our way through Australia, Dubai and finally arrived in Dusseldorf after 36 hours travelling. John was at the airport to meet us, and we then caught 2 trains and a taxi to get to our new apartment.
John is here to do a Habilitation (another PhD)and as he is here as an EU citizen, I am able to work as well. We will spend the next few weeks getting Trinity into school, trying not to freeze (supposed to be Spring) and getting my head around driving on the right-hand side again.
So, for anyone who thinks we have fallen off the map - we sort of did, but are now back on board.
