I’m back in Weimar, but, unfortunately, my laptop suddenly started to misbehave. Ack. More in the morning. Today I start making my way home; going one of those places where those “people came from,” but not on that airline. I don’t leave until quite late today, so I have lots of time to kill in Manhattan; just not sure what I am going to do yet. […] I’ve managed, so far, to not do the “Expat Countdown” meme that swept around the world in recent weeks.
