This cute piece of art, featuring the dramatic glass dome over the Friedrichstraße S-Bahn station and a tram. The fox is not normally seen in this environment, but I suppose that it might be seen there today. I wouldn’t know since I haven’t been near there in a long time. I bought this last […] Last Year’s Glühwein was at Potsdamer Platz. Yuck. One of the big traditions in Germany this time of year is the obligatory cup of glühwein at a Christmas market – having been wiped out the last week due to illness, I ventured to my first Christmas market today – the Rixdorf Weihnachtsmarkt, which is […] These two options featured on the way-finding signs.
This was my first Christmas Market of the year. I’m ready to go. Really. Today I woke up obscenely early, putzed around, did a load of laundry, packed my suitcase, started another load of laundy, popped down to the Weihnachtsmarkt for a present (I decided I would only buy it if I had space in the suitcase, and I did!), had lunch, came home, […] I forgot to explicitly say it, but last weekend, the men in Apolda were really cute—that is to say they had my number: lots of funky hair that attracts me.

Happily, little children will no longer be traumatized by the sight. That wasn’t the only interesting […] Update: See the listing of other Christmas Market Monday Postings Here! In accordance with J’s suggestion, I headed out to the local Weihnachtsmarkt and took photos this weekend. I actually hit up two of the markets, starting with the one in Jena on Friday evening followed with a trip through Weimar’s on Saturday. My […] Today I took one of the trains home from the office that forced me to either walk or take a taxi home. The train ride was really uncomfortable—way too many people and bicycles were trying to get on the train thus limiting personal space to practically zero. I positioned myself carefully to ensure that I […] For those of you most familiar with my favorite book of all time, the above makes clear that I’ve just reread it. Yes, Red Sky at Morning has been my literature of choice this past week. I wish I knew how many times I’ve read it—surely I must be fast approaching thirty times—I’ve read it […] |
