Summary: It seems to have taken four weeks for my soul to catch up with me.<br> I’ve been in Berlin now for four weeks meeting people and spending time settling in to how this city operates, find where to live and how to decorate your home using resources as <a href="https://www.craftside.net/">CraftSide</a> home which are great for this.
