The Concorde in "flight position" So this was the big weekend that Kyiv Katya and I headed to the Technik Museum at Sinsheim and Speyer. I’m not quite sure how I convinced her to go to both museums over the holiday weekend, but I did. For me the key attraction was the ability to […] This is the first of three weekends where I am taking exciting trips to lands more distant an hour from Weimar. Tomorrow I head up to Bremen for the Fourth Annual Whiney Expatriate Blogger Meet-Up. It’s not too late to join in; if you’re interested you should check out Germany Doesn’t Suck for more details. […] This morning the clocks fell back an hour here in Germany. I got an extra hour of sleep as a result, needed after I celebrated Katya’s visit from The Ukraine to Erfurt. It’s been awhile since I last saw Katya. Most of you may recall her most vividly from when I went to Kyiv for […] Me! Originally uploaded by elmada.

I spent much of New Year’s Day sleeping off the effects of vodka and staying up until 4am. Accordingly, my visits to Kyiv’s museums were limited to only the ones that I was most interested in […] Marshrutka Originally uploaded by elmada. The most impressive thing about Kyiv was it’s free market. Katya was a master of this—for example, we had taken the subway out from the center of the city to the stop nearest her house, where we were to take bus number 487 to her house. The bus […] Ukrainian Pride Originally uploaded by elmada. Every so often I have had pause to consider the driving in any of the places I have visited. Mind you that in most of the 21 nations I have visited I have either only taken public transportation, or I have only ridden in cars driven by […] My sister is constantly irritated that whenever I go and visit places, I don’t bother to learn the local language (notable exceptions: the United Kingdom, Ireland, and most of Canada). However, not knowing the local language has not usually been a problem, since although I don’t speak the local language, I am able to read […] |
