Wow… This month is flying by, and things are, at least for now, going pretty well. I skipped out of town last weekend – driven out of town by the prospect of being within drum earshot (and only drum earshot) of a “music” stage set up to motivate the runners of the Berlin Marathon. My […] This month, for the first time since January, I had the time to take a vacation – leaving the boundaries of Berlin, hopping into metal tubes, and escaping to Immenstadt and Kiel – opposite ends of Germany, but fulfilling personal wishes to see friends and hit the beach. I managed to spend three […] This weekend, for reasons I won’t really disclose here, a friend and I agreed to meet in Wolfsburg – a city just over an hour west of Berlin. For most people it is notable because it is home to Volkswagon. I’ll admit that when we agreed to meet in Wolfsburg, I had no […] Late last week one of my friends told me about a recently released film that features Berlin: Victoria. So I saw it Sunday evening – and while there are a number of impressive things about (like the fact that it was shot in exactly one take with one cameraman), ultimately I hate Victoria.

Maybe that’s not nerding, per se, but a sign of being too German. I […] When I moved to the big city, I decided it was time to dump small regional banks and go with a large, substantial, international player – and I’ve been completely happy with that jump, until now. It’s all because my bank does not offer me the Karl Marx MasterCard, unlike Sparkasse Chemnitz. It’s almost enough […] In the near-ish future, I will be picking up my eAT – the elektronischer Aufenthaltsitel – that will be permission for me to stay in Germany a bit longer. The eAT format is a credit-card sized document that includes a chip that contains biometric identification information. Providing this led the most amusing moment of my […] Borkum, German Customs Ship This past weekend I was Nautical Adam – I popped up to Hamburg to see Mr. Letters Home and his family. Completely by chance, it happened to be the Hafengeburstag weekend. That is, it was the harbor’s birthday – and I’m not really sure why, because it seems pretty young […] |
