Bock auf n callboy?

WEBUM (or is it WEBMU) 2010 Hamburg was excellent.

I’m happy to report that I’m on my way home from my weekend away in Hamburg.

This weekend was the annual “Whiney Expatriate Blogger Unmissable Meetup,” an even where a number of expatriate bloggers get together and complain—or at least gossip.

Their impending visit was just the kick in the pants I needed to […]

Holy Crap! Guests are coming! I need to clean!

In part it is because of my kitchen: I like to cook for my guests and until my kitchen cabinets are properly attached to the wall, I’m not really […]
