Ain’t Germany

I was just looking at the Indy Indians team website–and the promotions for the Friday, June 8th home game at Victory Field:

Boy Scouts across Indiana participate in a post-game sleepover on the field. Sponsored by Coors Light & U.S. Army

Coors Light?

Now while this doesn’t personally offend me, one has to wonder what […]

Cape Town Sunset

Wide, Wide World

After returning from South Africa, I noticed a new sign in my apartment building lobby here in Weimar—something about digital satellite television!

It only took a week and a half, but today I got a colleague who adores all things electronic to go with me and pick up two new satellite decoders for the televisions […]

Un-Shoed

I cannot tell you the first time I noticed it, but at some point whilst CQ and I were still based in Cape Town I realized that a lot of kids were going barefoot.

And the kids going barefoot did not look like kids from poor families: their attire and their family’s attire was middle-class […]

It’s 2 am, and I just got home.

I doubt […]

Photo Friday: Futuristic

More futuristic in appearance than in reality.

Random Factoid 345

When you Google “Jena expat” I am the third item on the list; and the first real expatriate in the results

I learned that today from a couple Americans that I met at a BBQ tonight.

A quick check of “Weimar expat” shows that I am first on that list!

Grass Sweet Hut

As it was dark when we arrived, CQ and I had no idea what the area looked like until we woke up in the morning.

For me, that first glimpse came at 06:30 or so when I emerged from the hut and looked around. We’d walked across a grassy field after dinner and I had […]

Yeah… I’m home

And since I am home, I am doing the first thing I always do upon my return home.

Laundry.

I will write more substantive stuff tomorrow—but for now I want to give CQ a chance to catch up and post something with his own impressions of the trip. I have the next post pretty much […]
