"Because Berlin is one of the most exciting cities in the world."
"Because we weren't ready to be settled in Seattle. "
"Because we love being expats."
We got asked this question (and many more) over & over during the filming of our episode of
House Hunters International. Set to air this Wednesday,
May 23, 2012 at 7:30 & 10:30 PM (West Coast time)
we are pretty sure we are going to look like smiling idiots that say things like "Wow!", "rain shower", and one really awkward "I love you". That doesn't mean we aren't excited.
Sadly, while our friends & family watch this Wednesday (we hope) we will have to wait up to 4 weeks to get our copy of the episode. The show is currently only available in the US and we will have to rely on the kindness of the fam to give it to us straight. My hair was crazy wasn't it? I'm pretty sure I wore the same sweater everyday - does it look like that? How many times - really- did I say "nice"?
I don't want to totally spoil the surprise, so here are some non-specific photos of the shooting.
Berliners - see if you know what sites & neighborhoods we shot in.

We
returned to Seattle for a one-day shoot for the back story. And to see our wonderful family and friends of course.
 |
| 1st location - Ballard Locks |
 |
| Locks in Seattle |
 |
| Bottleworks in Wallingford |
We walked into Bottle works to find that our Seattle sound guy was famous.
Eric was the sound guy and sometimes on-air personality for the Spike television show "3 sheets".

We will post the rest of the pics, and eventually the show, after it's
aired. We hope that those that can watch - will. And not laugh too much.
To understand how the show works: my
undercover report.

man! I feel like I could be in either of those places that you guys were filmed at. WE HAVE THE SAME LIVES.
I am guessing a lot of Wedding went on in those shots?
can't wait to see the final product!
Us too! We will definitely have a viewing party once we get the DVD....and have screened it. Allow us to get over our most embarrassing moves in private.
OK, just traced back to your blog. That's very cool about the house hunter thing in Berlin! Looks great!
I missed the awkward "I love you!" - was it in the show?
Thanks all for the support! I just posted a video of the episode: http://ianandebe.blogspot.de/2012/07/back-to-berlin-on-house-hunters.html
It really turned out great and they even cut out the most awkward parts (like the weird "I love you".)
