Approximately ten years ago I accepted a job with American Management Systems (AMS) that was based in Düsseldorf, Germany. I spent around two years living in the city, and made some great friends and had some great experiences.

Despite all the travelling I have done in the last few years, I’ve not returned to Düsseldorf since I left in April 1997. I’ve often thought about returning, but just didn’t really find the time to arrange the trip.

By sheer coincidence, a relative of Frances has recently taken up a TEFL position in the city. He’s been there just over a month, and in order to ensure he gets a few supplies, and gets to see a friendly face for the first time in months, Frances and I are booked to fly from Prestwick to Düsseldorf tomorrow where we’ll then spend the long weekend.

I’m really looking forward to it. It’s a great city, with a lot going for it. It’ll also be a huge amount of fun to revisit some of the bars, restaurants, parks and sights that this city has to offer. Whilst almost everybody I knew whilst working there has left for pastures new, it’ll still be interesting to see how the city is. Needless to say, I’ll be writing more when we get back.
