Oh yeah, it is holiday time in Germany, so I am in Turkey for a week or so. Holla atchall lata.
I am beyond excited today. In less than 2 hours I have two friends visiting. We’ve got big plans, schloss time (duh), but also our local brewery here in Karlsruhe is hosting their annual party,...
and it is for everyone born in April. But now, it could be your death stone. Or heck, you could be a diamond yourself. Yes, I know this is probably the weirdest blog post I’ve ever written, but...
Let’s start with the fact that they’re helluva lot more popular than the ones in the US. Did anyone else find creepy vans driving down empty neighborhood streets playing “All Around...
I love Sundays in Karlsruhe – and not just because its my only day off every week. Ok, actually that’s probably why, but whatever. It took months to get used to the whole everything-in-Ge...
Today is basically Super Bowl Sunday here in Germany – actually, in all of Europe. One of my friends told me 100 million more people will be tuned into this game than the number of people who w...
I have lived in Germany 10 months now, so I’ve met a few Germans to say the least. I’ve learned a lot from the people here and have made some generalizations. Germans speak more than one ...
I have discovered something stereotype defying living here in Germany: Germans don’t live off sausage, sauerkraut, and enormous pretzels. Yes, all of that is widely available, but so are other ...
I’ve spent many an afternoon at the schlossgarten here in Karlsruhe and each of those afternoons, I eyeball a lively group playing a game that looks way up my alley. After some asking around, I...
Living abroad comes with it’s sacrifices. I’ve learned to live without Diet Dr Pepper, my car, Tex-Mex and DVR, but I just can’t live without my TV shows. I tried, I really did, but...
So I said yesterday that I watch a bit of TV. When I was in Uni (because that’s what they call it here – college won’t fly), my roomies and I loved nothing more than sitting on the ...
Actually, it was Monday night laughs from Saturday Night Live. I have never been an SNL watcher. When people quote all the funny moments, I just stare blankly or hear them so much that I actually thi...
I am not even joking when I say moving to WordPress has been the most stressful and time consuming thing I have ever done for something that I truly enjoyed (blogging). In the past 5 days, I have put...
This is me cracked out (not really) trying to learn how to use WordPress right now. Learning CSS is like learning another language – it might even be harder than German, which means it’s ...
Please bear with me for a couple days (God forbid weeks) as I make the big move from Blogger to WordPress. I actually have no idea what I am doing, but you can still find the good ole stuff here for ...
The sun is shining and life is good and with plenty to blog about, I’m about to make the hopefully awesome and not idiotic and deadly move to WordPress.org. I’ve purchased self hosting th...
blate /blāt/ Noun: an arranged meeting between 2 or more bloggers I had my first blate this weekend, and it was awesome. We decided to s...
Its finally here! Bike season! The weather is warm enough to turn in the tram pass and pull the bikes out of the shed. My bike had a lovely 6 month winter nap and it was happy to wake the heck up thi...

because this was a good idea last night. Ill try (almost) anything once. I have this friend from Iceland here - yep, thats right, Iceland! That awesome little country floating in the middle of the No...

Well Im back from Munich and 23 years old. I remember in the 5th grade when my favorite song was Blink 182s "Whats My Age Again?" and I walked around shouting "nobody likes you when youre...

I didnt want to go out this week. Ive got a big weekend coming up and need to rest, save money, etc. However, sometimes your FOMO and a little nudge from your friends will get you out the door ...

translated: Here one pees sitting down. So in the bathroom at my friends place, (Hi Ankur) the above plaque hangs on the bathroom wall. Being the oblivious person I am, I just thought it was a humor ...
Location wise in Karlsruhe, Im really lucky. It only takes 15 min to get to the city center by bike or tram, yet this is my backyard. Ok, not really my backyard but its across the street. Theres just...
