A couple of months ago I wrote to you about my reaching the mid-point of my year here in Germany; now, I have but four months left. Time is going by rather quickly.

I am currently feeling the sting of the post-vacation credit card bill. Aside from cash-advances in four different currencies in the past two months, in the past one month I have spent a lot of money on petrol. And in fact, I just returned the other night from another business trip that I [...]

I would like to write two things quickly: first, it is strange to receive guests and have them be so excited over things that are so normal to you. Perhaps I have been spoiled by being sent to Germany a couple of times for work. Don’t get me wrong: I am excited to [...]

Dear Internet:
I need your advise. Nine Inch Nails is touring Europe this summer and it the so-called “final tour”; at the very least, it should be the last tour NIN will do for a while. So I would like to see them.

On Saturday night Mr. Orovan, Mr. Scott, and myself visited Munich’s Frühlingsfest (spring festival). The festival is “family friendly” and had a large number of rides, skill games, food stands, and other ways to spend your money. It also had a couple of beer halls/tents.
