No Apathy Allowed
- Hamburger Fischmarkt
Inspired by Ian’s mini photo introduction to next weekend’s WEBMU in Hamburg, I wanted to tempt those of you attending to stay up all night after TQE‘s Queer Expedition and visit Sunday morning’s Fischmarkt at the harbor. Opening time? 5 o’clock.
- Five Senses Friday no. 32
I should actually be disassembling furniture for my move tomorrow rather than blogging, so I’ll keep this post short and sweet: Seeing: * boxes piled up everywhere. Hearing: * obnoxiously loud construction workers in front of our building. Tasting: * turkey and rice at the Mensa today.

Moving. On. Saturday.
- 33 Things: Damals war es Friedrich
10. Read five books. Can’t quite believe it, but I’ve managed to tear through two more books in the last month — Damals war es Friedrich and Half of a Yellow Sun — bringing me closer to my goal of five this year on my 33 Things list.

- Between Hamburg and Berlin
This past weekend we relaxed a bit with a trip to the countryside to visit a friend and his (relatively) recently acquired farm house (plus barn), about an hour outside of Hamburg on the way to Berlin. Since no trains stop there and since we have no car, we traveled by Mitfahrgelegenheit — basically a [..

- Levels of Language Proficiency: My Life in Germany
Recently I enjoyed reading Julia Child’s My Life in France (with Alex Prud’homme). It’s a great book (and the first one I ever read as a Kindle edition on my iPhone). Anyone who has lived abroad or spent only a brief time in the French capital will appreciate it even more.
- Dies and Das
Being a foreigner once again here in Ireland, after finally not feeling very foreign in Germany, is a new adventure. I finally learned the little cultural tricks in Germany, like not putting my hand out for change at the bakery, but waiting for them to place it on the little try on the counter, and [..
- Living the German Way in San Diego Part 1
I admit that I was probably a bit whingey in my last message. I’ve had some time to get over my homesickness for Germany and Europe and embrace San Diego. It’s nothing like Deutschland, but the living is so easy and the weather is as perfect (always in the 20s C/70s F and no humidity) [.
- Turning Weakness Into Strength
Weakness is often, to mangle a perfectly good cliche, in the eye of a beholder. People move to Germany for lots of reasons. Following a loved one who has had a transfer, caring for family, learning experience, new adventures and so on.
- Vacation versus Urlaub
I was recently reminded of how much vacation time Germans get. I sent an email to a gentleman at a German publishing house with whom I had been corresponding, only to get a reply from his secretary that read: “Danke für Ihr Mail an Herrn K. Hier nur ein Zwischenbescheid: Herr K ist zur Zeit [.
- Expats All Over Again
Like Jane and her husband, we are also on our way out of Germany. Unlike them though, we are becoming expats once again, this time in Ireland. There are so many things I love about living in Germany.
Notes from Germany
- Bad Doberan - Heiligendamm
Over Christmas we went to Bad Doberan in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It was nice just chill out and not have to worry about the usual Christmas bullshit. We stayed at the Hotel Friedrich-Franz-Palais.
- Greetings!
Not much going on here. It has been snowing quite a bit and the temperature has been hovering consistently under or around freezing
- Alles Klar?
I haven't posted in awhile. It's mainly because there is nothing new. Oh, It snowed here in Lüneburg today for the first time this winter season.

Brennender Berg - Burning Mountain We heard about the abundant Dutweiler coal mines, the iron and alum plants, and even about a burning mountain, and made preparations to see this nearby wonder?.We entered a gorge and found ourselves in the vicinity of the burning mountain.

- Harry Potter film!
Well we went see Harry Potter yesterday and we were quite disappointed! Very anti-climatic! Hoping if I see it on dvd at home that it will be better!
