And the search continues
I found a really great apartment in my favourite area of Berlin with all the works: freshly renovated, new kitchen with a dish washer, oak parquet and floor heating. But it is on the ground floor where I am not safe from the looks of curious by-walkers and the odd burglar. I was ready to croak "As long as I have internet at home again, I'm happy!" while I am strangled and robbed in my sleep because I forgot to hermetically seal off my apartment before bedtime. However, everyone raising their eyebrows and picturing me in a bloodbath dampened my enthusiasm for it significantly and when on Monday my lunch dates shouted "Too expensive! Too dark! Too dangerous!" in stereo, I finally gave up. Deep in my heart I know that they are right and that I made the right decision... but I still miss the internet. A lot.

London kills me
Saturday night killed me and I woke up in hell. In hell, you do not take off your jacket before you pass out on the sofa so that zippers leave you with an inverted necklace the following morning and then you get up early to watch your friend cry over breakfast. Add the constant fatigue and Gatwick on security level "serious" and you have the full picture. But if Hell (with a capital H) accomodates all my friends (and somewhere I get the strong feeling that it will), I'll make sure to come back soon.

The fix
Saturday morning in London, and what do I do? Dim Sum in Chinatown, shopping on Regent Street? No, I steal my former flatmate S's laptop to surf the internet only to realize how bad the withdrawal of private internet access has been depriving me of my usual information flow. Today, I learnt that a university friend has married last weekend, Maggie is pregnant and TS is single again. Congrats to all of them.

Relapse
So I finally make it to an internet cafe and what happens when I try to run ICQ or MSN messenger? It won't let me because I do not have the proper admin rights to either install the programs themselves or Java for the web-based version. Fuckity fuck. How can they call this internet if I can't lead half-assed IM conversations while I scan my usual blogs until my ADD kicks in and I move on to the next website? I am really close to going back to the office to get my laptop in order to get me some of this free wireless zooming around. easyInternetcafé my ass.

Hi, my name is...
...Annie and it’s been six weeks since I had internet access at home. It has been tough and I have often felt the urge to stop by an internet café for a quick fix but I could fight the urge by engaging in displacement activities such as freezing my ass off at a reading on a houseboat, extended walks through Berlin, hanging out in cafes and continuing my quest for the best Vietnamese restaurant in Berlin (Oh, Monsieur Vuong, I will never forget my first…).
It has been unsettling to be forced to give a single discussion partner your undivided attention instead of sending IMs to s7 different people in 5 min intervals while surfing the web but gallons of alcohol have eased the transition. Furthermore, friends, who would have never dreamt about visiting me in London, are drawn to Berlin like moths to an industrial-strength bug zapper. Berlin is oozing with so much coolness that it even permeates an unfortunate geekgirl like me.
