Berlin Back Again: Liebster Award

WOOOOOW, my fellow blogger Sofia has nominated me for the Liebster Blog. What a surprise I am quite thrilled. THANK YOU Sofia from "Speak your Mind - Sofia's First Blogspot".!!! http://sofiasfirst.blogspot.de/. As I have only 1 follower so far, there shouldn't be a problem about the rule of having less than 200 .... hahaha
Liebster is German and means favorite.

I am copying the rules here:
"When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated you." "Pass the award onto 11 other blogs (make sure you tell them you nominated them!) and ask them 11 questions.""You are not allowed to nominate the blog who nominated you!""Make sure the blogs you chose have 200 or LESS followers"

OK, here we go...

And here are my answers to Sofia's 11 questions:

1. What are you proud of in your current life?
Following my heart.

2. What are you afraid of?
Oh, a very intimate question. I guess I'm afraid not to be able to become the person I want to be.

3. Is there a bad habit in your life you would like to get rid of?
Thinking too much. Not being able to sleep because of thinking. I could very well do without it. Same goes for procrastinating.

4. If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you immediately go?
Oho, surely loads of places I'd love to travel. Ok just one would be South Korea as my husband is from there and I have not been there yet. But some warm places like Spain also would be great. On my long list of places you would find Australia, Malaysia, South Africa, Prague, Singapore, Paris, Barcelona, New Zealand, Vietnam, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, California, New York, Argentina... . Sorry couldn't resist to name them although you asked for one place.

5. What if you could change the world, where would you start?
I am trying to change me into a better person. That's the only way to change the world and already hard enough.

6. How many languages do you speak?
Basically two. German and English.... I learned French at school a long time ago and I could speak a few words Tamil but as I am no longer in India, I'm forgetting.

7. Do you have a favourite topic you read about on blogs, magazines, etc.?
Actually I don't read magazines any more. But blogs. Topics: Expat life, Berlin, Asia

8. What do you wish for in your life?
More wisdom!

9. If you are celebrating Christmas, will you have a Christmas tree at home?
Yes, sure. This year we already have a small tree in a pot. It's from my parent's garden and I'm looking forward to decorate it.

10. Is there a hobby you happen to be crazy about, even if it is a bit weird?
Not so weird, just improv theatre and clowning.

11. Who do you admire the most in this world?
Phew, even though I thought for a day, I really don't know.
