- No love for Italy
When I was asking for advise on places to visit on my weekends here, I was told by everyone and their mother that I must visit Italy. Every time I was told this, I felt dread inside. You see, unlike Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | Jun 10, 2009
- Eating in Stuttgart
Back in September, (I can't believe it was that long ago) I posted about typical Swabian meals (http://canada2germany.travellerspoint.com/3/), which I wanted to test (excluding the onion cake). Since that post, I haven't really paid much attentio Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | Jun 9, 2009
- Heidelberg, Germany
Steffi’s hostel was a new hostel outfitted in IKEA and so was very clean and nice. We got to sleep in then went to check out a craft market downtown. Unfortunately the craft sale was nothing spectacular. Posted by ErinDriver in Drivers Touring Europe....and Beyond | Jun 7, 2009
- Castle Illumination
I read in the stars and stripes that the Heidelberg castle was having an illumination of the castle and fireworks display. We grabbed a hostel room at Steffi’s hostel and headed that way after scuba class. Our arrival Posted by ErinDriver in Drivers Touring Europe....and Beyond | Jun 6, 2009

- New fav song
While in Germany, I try to and emerse myself in all things German which includes the music. I'm not gonna lie. The music kinda sucks here. I much prefer music at home but I am obviously biased. But, dont get Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | Jun 8, 2009
- Reboot
Our plane for Dusseldorf left Rome about an hour behind schedule so we were sweating it somewhat whether we would be able to make the train connection in Dusseldorf and arrive at my family’s home in Merzig, Saarland that evening. Posted by tomstrick1 in Sabbatical | Jun 8, 2009
- Feeling blue
I am currently in Bremen, where I had a fantastic time visting a friend. More on that soon...I promise. In the meantime, while I was online checking out the details for leaving at the end of the month, I was Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | Jun 7, 2009
- Bahn25 card drama
My first hour in Germany was spent basically looking around puzzled and being bumped around by busy Swabians on their way to work. Imagine me with a backpack, a laptop bag, and 2 big suitcases trying to make my way Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | Jun 5, 2009
- Making assumptions
Before I came to Germany, I was fed a bunch of information, facts, quirks etc. by friends of mine who are either German, know someone who is German or who has been to the country personally. All of this was Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | Jun 4, 2009
- Munich, Germany
Today we were back on the bus and heading for Munich. We were prepared for a long trip from Lauterbrunnen but it wasn't too bad. Before leaving Switzerland we stopped off at a town called Lucerne. Here Posted by Nat_85 in Our Big Adventure! | Mar 22, 2009
- Afternoon snack
At work, we have access to great cappuccino makers here so I take ripe advantage and created a little treat for myself. I call it, my afternoon Cappuccino Macchiato Delight (I know....how unoriginal!). At home, I can't stand coffee and Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | Jun 2, 2009
- The best Wurst place ever!!!
So we made it safely to Munich. We went on a night train that showed up an hour late. Which was ok with us cause we got to Munich an hour later as well, 7:30 instead of 6:30. lol. Please Posted by missmary88 in A World Away | May 31, 2009
- München, Schloss Neuschwanstein, New Swan palace
This trip to Munich was really special as it was full of so many firsts and fun times for me. This European journey has opened my eyes in so many ways and broaden my perspective on life and I think Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | May 30, 2009
- European women
I met this girl, Tiffany, when I was in München a few weekends ago over. We were both single girls at the hostel alone so I asked if I could sit with her. We ended up sharing a meal and Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | May 28, 2009
- Feelin' hot, hot, hot
It was gorgeously hot in good old Stuttgart today. Lovin' it! Munich hasn't seen this type of high weather pattern for this time of year (they were supposed to get up to +31c) since 1993. I guess for Germany it Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | May 25, 2009
- Breakfast antics
I am never in the hotel during the weekends. On Sunday mornings, I am usually still bounding around some part of the EU but I am home today. The owner of the hotel even looked shocked when I walzed into Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | May 24, 2009

Thanks to Sherry at Ottsworld (http://www.ottsworld.com/about/), a fantastic blog of a woman who is traveling and living HER dreams (not conforming to societies say-so) I am now well informed on the greatness of Podcasts.

I am currently sitting in an internet cafe emailing my family of change of plans, updating this blog and listening to some very LOUD people talk on the phones. This place is serious comic relief. In any case, I am Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | May 22, 2009
- "Your homeboys, Nickelback"
At the gym last week, I was sweating away on the stairmaster (I have to burn off the heavy food somehow) and minding my own business, when the owner walks past me and says, "your homeboys Nickleback". At first I Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | May 20, 2009
- Little things I have noticed about Deutsches
Just some observations and generizations, I realize, that I made so far of the Swabian peoples.
-They all, at least in the south, HATE any association their country has with Hitler. Even if you don't ask (read: never ask) they are Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | May 19, 2009

I just got back from Munich (München in Deutsch) and I had the best time so far since landing on this continent. In terms of city exploration that is. I have met some amazing people and done some wild, fun Posted by CanaGerm in Mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland | May 18, 2009

So I did finally make it to Berlin, though not without my troubles. Turns out my backpack was 2 kilos over the 10 kilo limit and checking it in would cost me 45 Euros!
