I was previoulsy teaching in Reinickendorf...its over. They are knocking down the building(s). Not suprisingly: apparently one had abstestos. Is this the most difficult word to spell in the enlgish language? no, but its getting there. good riddance to those buildings.
so the New buildings: the refugees are being, to the best of my knowledge, dispersed across Berlin. About a hundred or so have gone to well built buildings in Büch, especially for housing them. They still have shared facilities, but its much safer. I have been up 4 times (writing this on 20okt)2017 so far. The oraganisation is Stephanus Stiftung. I dont know the exact numbers there yet, things are still falling into place.
so: last week, I saw a load of the people I have been teaching for over two years previously..the kids were all running after me and calling my name, Simon, Simon, Simon!! which I found embarrassing and very humbling.
I taught F. Brilliant singer.
