It’s been awhile since I blogged. Sorry. But moving takes effort – and I have had both awesome experiences (KaminPalast, Dielerei), ones where things have taken longer than expected but turned out awesome (KD Küchenstudio), and one utter disaster. Holzconnection, a purveyor of custom made furniture has failed me ever since I signed the contract. […] Every once in awhile I have an experience that reminds me the importance of walking out of a business – or a taxi. Back in 2007, I took a taxi from Brussels Airport to a hotel – and when the taxi driver had trouble with his meter, I ordered him to stop the taxi at […] The Radisson Hotel Cheyenne: Cancels Reservations Because they can. Normally I would not choose to visit the US during August, but this year, I am. Like thousands of others, I want to see the eclipse on Monday, August 21st. But a wrench was thrown into my plans by the Radisson Hotel Cheyenne after they […] I had a strange, but not completely atypical, experience at Lenzig, a neighborhood café, today: I ordered food and “Leitungswasser” – tap water. Lenzig is a nice neighborhood café – the kind of place where most customers are regulars, the food predictable, and the atmosphere pleasant.

In fact, I was so impressed with the service on my flight from Newark to Indianapolis that I wrote a letter complimenting the flight attendant. Now I’m considering writing a […] Maybe it says something about how much I’ve become accustomed to German-style service, but I’ve been blown away by the gallantry of Glasgowians. From the moment I arrived, Thursday at lunchtime, everyone and everything has been great, with the exception of the Glasgow Flyer bus driver who pulled away from the airport when I was […] I have to say that I am a bit disappointed in customer service, on both sides of the Atlantic. Although I’m not sure I can call the North American issue, “customer service”—but more on that in a day or two. Meanwhile I have happy news to report: my iPhone 3G is, finally, unlocked. Unfortunately it […] Monday evening, when I was at home, I got a call from my friendly T-Punkt store (T-Punkt sells stuff for T-Com (the telephone company, and now known as, I believe, T-Home) and what used to be (at least in Germany) T-Mobile (the mobile phone company, now happily known as “Telekom”). The wonderful lady had happy […] |
