Expats in the Wikisphere

February 29, 2008

While tooling around Wikipedia, I came across a page listing American Expatriates in Germany (who have Wikipedia articles written about them).  The people listed are not all currently in Germany, it just denotes people that have lived in Germany at some point.  Priscilla Presley and Martin Lawrence, both born on US military bases in Germany, make the [...]

The Great Vanilla Extract Experiment

February 28, 2008

For six years, I’ve brought a large bottle of vanilla extract home with me from the States every year.  While living in Berlin, I considered the tiny, overpriced bottles available at KaDeWe.  I searched expat and gourmet  shops.  I searched online.  I looked at recipes.  To be honest, it doesn’t look that difficult to make your own, [...]

It’s too late to come up with a good title

February 24, 2008

I think I’ve made some progress with the blog’s formatting issues, but there’s still a bit to do.  Hopefully I’ll have time this week to do a little more.  Rainer’s off to Heidelberg, however, so that does not bode well.  I got much respect for all the single mothers out there.  I get completely stressed [...]

Survey for Regensburgers and nearby folks

February 22, 2008

Before planning the next Expat/English-speakers meetup (it’ll be a dinner), I’d like to gather some opinions about the meetups.  If you live in the Regensburg area or think you might attend a meetup here some time, I’d really appreciate it if you could fill out this survey for me.  It’s really quick – there are [...]
