I found something else to do in Berlin: the Deutsches Currywurst Museum. August 17th, 2009
Oi, mates. It was off to Stuttgart yesterday as planned. I got there in great time, as traffic was fine and the unrestricted areas of the autobahn did allow me to hit my car’s top speed of about 210 km/h. (Aside: I’m driving the new VW Golf with 2.0L TDI diesel engine, due to [...] August 16th, 2009
Two weeks ago I was returning from Madrid; why does it feel like two months have passed? I am not sure if it’s just me, or if this is “normal”, but for me time passes pretty quickly (usually) but my mind extends the feeling of time since an event occurs. If I was talking [...] August 12th, 2009
After I returned from Madrid my manager here in Germany made a comment to me along the lines of “that distance is like a day trip to a Canadian”. Yes, he was exaggerating the truth a little bit but the premise of his point is correct: North Americans are more accustomed to travelling long [...] July 30th, 2009
I am sitting in Frankfurt Airport waiting for my flight to Madrid. For some reason I booked a train that arrived really, really early and I have multiple hours to kill before my flight departs. I am writing with two hours before take off now. I have killed time by first trying to fly [...] July 22nd, 2009
A trying week of highs and lows, cultural understanding, pain, destruction, and triumph: the Alpencross was a great success. Eight brave people began a quest from Oberstdorf Germany to Lago di Garda over seven days. Though we only arrived seven in numbers our early departure was expected and we successfully delivered all willing participants to the destination. Read on for the story of the 2009 Alpencross. You can also see a collection of low-resolution photos in my flickr set. July 9th, 2009
And I’m off: going to pay my taxes, then to Karlsruhe for a train to Oberstdorf. Tomorrow morning we leave for seven full days across the Alps though Austria and Switzerland to finish in Torbole at the North of Lago di Garda at the end of next Thursday (expected). In Italy until Saturday, then [...] July 7th, 2009
Have you ever thought about how in Canada you will now-and-then hear someone playing the bagpipes at a time when you least expect? I am sure that I have walked out of work in Ottawa and heard bagpipes, or been walking downtown and heard Scotland the Brave; this experience even goes back to when [...] July 1st, 2009
Happy Canada Day! I am a big fan of Canada Day–especially since moving to Ottawa. This year it’s a little different, not being in Canada and being at work. I miss it; I would love to be in Ottawa today. It’s too bad I didn’t decide to go back just for 3 days and [...] |
