Nikolaus Day

So, it was Nikolaus day yesterday, or more precisely, last night (on the night of the 5th to the 6 th of December). All the little german boys and girls were anxiously awaiting this morning (Dec. 6th) to discover if they had received a sweet (a chocolate Nikolaus) if they have been good, or an ugly...

Noël and Weihnachtenmarkt

A few weeks before Christmas (Weihnachten) Germany gets "peppered" all over the land with cute little (and not so little) Weihnachtenmarkt (Xmas Markets). You can find there anything you might want for Xmas, even things you didn't know exist! A few days before the oppening of the markets, little... Sign in to see full entry.

The Human Shadow

I am not too sure if this one (this entry) really fits in the "Travel" section. I think it might be more of a religious or social/polotical section. What I am about to describe could have (and probably does) happen just about anywhere. The fisrt time I saw it I was walking on the Terasses in the old... Sign in to see full entry.

It is this time of the year...

I am still surprised how quickly the weather changes here. In the same day we can have fog, then sun, then clouds with... Sign in to see full entry.

November Fuzzy Feelings

It is already the end of November but the flowers are still blooming and they just added new pensies by the side of the roads. While just south of here, in Austria, they had a meter of snow. How wonderful Nature can be! It was way to nice a day to stay in and do my German homework today; so, we went... Sign in to see full entry.

The Poop mystery

I have been trying to find the solution to this mystery for weeks, if not months, now. You see, Germans love dogs: we can see then everywhere! They are lying under the chair of their master in the bus or the train, or trying to get the last bit that fell on the floor by their table in the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Journey begins in Germany

Welcome to my blog! In these pages I will try to explain and share with you the discovery of this old world: Germany, land of the Wurst and the Bier! And, of course, the cigarettes. We arrived about four months ago now and realised that Germany is NOT as we thought it would be. It is better in some... Sign in to see full entry.
