Finally got the images to work after many, many, many tries. Well it was an intense walking day, starting west towards the main park of Potsdam, where several palaces of old emperors lived. I don’t really know because I didn’t go in them for various reasons, (too expensive/long lines/tours only in German/tours at certain inconvenient … More Potsdam Is Nothing But Palaces

Well, I finally left Berlin, though I only got to do most of the stuff I wanted, but I shall return again some day. I did get to pack in a few more things though before heading to my new town for the next couple days. It started off bright and earlier (at 9:30) with … More Nowhere… Near… Berlin!

Well I checked off some things that were and weren’t on my list today. It started with the nearby Kaufhaus Des Westens. (Shopping Mall of the West) and is the second largest shopping mall in Europe, after London’s Harrods. I thought it would be fun to go through, but it turns out it’s just five … More Closed, Sort of Closed and Closed.

Yesterday was a very good day. Today was a lot less good. Didn’t get much done for various reasons, but it was still more or less interesting. Started going into the main thoroughfare and walking through an old antiquities swap meet. Got a neat WW2 medal. After some confusion and changes of plans I headed … More It’s Impossible To Eat Outside And Not Get Harassed By Wasps

Wow it was a busy day and my feet are sooorrrree! It started with an S-Bahn ride to near the Reichstag to go to the dome on top. (You have to go to an office across the street ahead of time and choose when you want to go.) It was really neat since I had … More I Found Napoleon’s Hat

Well there was a lot of walking, and a lot more walking, and a lot more after that. The street car service is pretty expensive. It started with a lengthy walk south to the “Gasometer Schöneberg” I can’t really explain what it is because I don’t know, but it’s a giant tower of different levels … More Getting Technical…

Well, I made it out of Schwerin, and headed to The Big App… err I mean The Big Schnitzel. Yep, back to Berlin! The capital and biggest city in Germany, though still it has significantly less than half the population of New York. Sooo much still to do, so I will be here for a … More The Big Schnitzel

Huzzah, I have internet again, thanks to being in my new city which I will post about right after this. So here is my post for yesterday 8/8/2018. Well, the lightly anticipated announcement is here. I’m in the city of Schwerin (pronounced shvair-een). Capital of the state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. It has a long and … More Creative Title Not Found

Disclaimer 2: Post has been updated with all appropriate images now. Disclaimer: The internet at my new city is absolutely beyond miserable, and extremely unreliable, so I have only been able to upload 2 images. I will try again tomorrow to update this post with more images. It just keeps failing at uploading, and even … More Getting Moin’ed At

This is a long one, with quite a lot of extra images! Today was one of those days that ended up being a lot more exciting that I thought it would be. I started with a visit to one of Kiel’s main-claim-to-fames which is a 3-part drawbridge that scrunches up into 3 sections like an … More Das Boot
