Things You Don’t See In America #5

December 8, 2013

Here is an interesting billboard for Cell Phone Repair we found in Koblenz that is funny no matter what language you speak. I am not sure what the censors would get more worked up about……. ……too much boob, the thong, or the cell phone in a butt! *”Handy im Arsch?” literally translates to “Cell phone … More Things You Don’t See In America #5

Here is a billboard in Trier, Germany for Sunpoint tanning salon. I don’t know about you, but I am pretty sure the pitchforks and torches would come out for the protests this billboard would cause. I mean, if the producers of The Client List toned down their advertising campaign (article) because too many people were offended by … More Things You Don’t See in America #4

Reality Is Here To Stay, But Our Stuff Is Gone (Moving Update #2)

November 27, 2013

For days we made lists, planned, discussed, sorted, gathered, and piled. Do we have enough? Do we have too much? Just enough to get by until all of our stuff arrives, but so we can still survive here right now. All that work, and then two Tasmanian Devils disguised as Professional Movers show up and pack it … More Reality Is Here To Stay, But Our Stuff Is Gone (Moving Update #2)

Where Did We Get All This Crap? (Moving Update #1)

November 25, 2013

Moving sucks. There is no way to sugar coat it. Relocating all of your worldly belongings from one place to another is one giant pain in the ass. The last time we moved we did it all ourselves, so while making plans for this move I proudly announced that this would be a walk in the … More Where Did We Get All This Crap? (Moving Update #1)

An Ode to Brötchen

November 15, 2013

O Brötchen, Sweet Brötchen When we met seven years before, your reputation was of gold. But the very first time I did partake, I thought there must be some mistake. Outside you were hard and did so crunch, that this would hurt I had a hunch. While your taste was for sure not blah, the … More An Ode to Brötchen

The second installment of “Things You Don’t See In America” is also the sequal to my previous post “Nude or Prude“. All of the following were found at our local home improvement store, but there were no heart attacks or boycotts! This first picture either isn’t a big deal or I am waaaaay more used to Germany than … More Things You Don’t See In America #2

Nude or Prude?

October 18, 2013

So we were watching TV the other day and I saw the strangest thing. Well, for some of you it might be strange, and 7 years ago it was for me too. But these days it actually commonplace around here. Yep, just the same-ol same-ol. Move along, nothing to see here. La-dee-da. While normal to … More Nude or Prude?

When “Expats” become “Repats”

October 11, 2013

(Disclaimer: This post will also serve as an explanation for the lack of posts I have published lately!) It is here. The day we feared has arrived, in all of its horror. It has come to kill hopes, destroy dreams, and redefine our family. Uh oh, there I go being overly dramatic again, my apologies. … More When “Expats” become “Repats”
