Germans and there obsession with order never cease to amaze me. DISCLAIMER: Before anyone tells me that I am insensitive to the flood victims that are currently suffering in Germany, you are wrong. I am actually of the belief that you should be able to laugh at your misery to survive it. Plus, we already … More Ordnung muss sein!
Did you know you can have hamburgers delivered in Berlin? I have never had hamburgers delivered. Ever. In my entire life. And I come from the land of hamburgers! Now, it is possible that somewhere in America they deliver hamburgers. But I have never seen it. Come to think of it, I haven’t lived in … More There’s a hamburger in Berlin!
Spring is here, can you guess what the Germans doing? (in my area at least) That right! Sweeping their sidewalks and gutters! Man, do I love Germany.
The Berlin Wall is being torn down. That sounds like something straight out of 1989, right? Well guess what, it is being torn down again. Now. In the year 2013. But this time NOBODY should be happy about it! Do I have your attention yet? The East Side Gallery. At 1.3 kilometers, it is the longest … More They are tearing down history in Berlin!
For about 5 minutes I actually thought spring was here. More than a week it was warm and sunny. The birds were chirping, I got two different bike rides in, and was planning our first family hike. I had told my wife not to trust it. Winter is like the dying villain in a predictable … More Snow Day, the Sequal!

But thanks to Joe Francis and his Girls Gone Wild commercials, what I think of when I hear the words Mardi Gras is women … More Fasching. It’s Mardis Gras without the boobs!
Germans have at least 9 1/2 and as many as 14 1/2 (if you live in the city of Augsburg) legal Holidays. In America we have 10. Sounds about even right? Good. Oh, and that half of a day is Christmas Eve, where pretty much everything is closed by 2pm so everybody can be at home. Now, according … More Germans Rock the Holidays
Germans sweep their sidewalk, did you know that? And I’m not talking about just when it is REALLY dirty, or covered in leaves. I mean regularly. Like some people sweep their floors. It’s probably on the chores list right next to cleaning the cat and washing the walls. Now, not everybody sweeps their sidewalk every … More Sidewalks
