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 [...]

A Controversial Address, Part 2

November 20, 2007

In part 1, I asked if referring to an American as an Ami was derogatory in German.  I read the many comments with interest and can only conclude that to some people it is, and to some it isn’t. I was a bit dismayed to find that some people might take offense at what I called my [...]

Maybe Regensburg is not that bad

May 9, 2007

Regensburg is a perfectly lovely city with its intact, medieval, UNESCO World Heritage site, old town, but visiting a town and admiring its offerings is very different from actually moving there and starting a new life. I’ve been quite homesick for the Berlin-Potsdam area for the last six months (perhaps you’ve picked up on this). [...]

Vacation, Teil 1

May 5, 2007

Yes, I am finally getting around to blogging our recent “Last Vacation As Two”. You’ll have to forgive my tardiness (well, I guess you don’t HAVE to, you can certainly hold it against me if you wish), I’ve been pretty exhausted the last week and I’ve also been working hard on several items for my [...]
