On the Road Again
My parents arrive yesterday. This morning we’re traveling to Amsterdam, then to Brussels. A lot of beer drinking, mussel eating, and chocolate tasting are on the agenda.
hi there.. thanks to google, i came across with your blog during my search about life in bonn, since i am also offered and kindda excepted a job offer in a cell phone company in bonn (supposing the same one of your husbands) and will be moving soon from istanbul . i would be thankful if you could recommend nice areas to live in town with good public transportation. thanks and enjoy your travel.
relieved to hear that you enjoy the city, since people keep telling me that i may find it a bit boring after istanbul and i may have to consider locating in köln and commuting for work which sounds like a hussle to me. cant wait to get there and follow your guidence so far.
This blog was originally called "Überall," which means "everywhere" or "everything" in German. It made sense at the time, since I was writing about my time abroad. Once I moved back, it didn't work as well. With the addition of a space, a letter, and an apostrophe, it is now much more appropriate for my new locale.
In the fall of 2007 my husband and I moved to Germany. After more than a year of traveling, eating, and living abroad, we were transferred back to the states. At the time of our return, I was 34 weeks pregnant. This is a true account of our re-assimilation, reverse culture shock, and impending adventure into parenthood.
I don't think there are quite enough sausages in the South to maintain the "Wurst of the Week." Instead, I am replacing this sidebar feature with "A Southern Something." To start, I'd like to introduce you to chow chow. A pickled relish, chow chow can be made from any number of vegetables, including cabbage, onions, or green tomatoes.

Thanks for your comment. I'm so glad to hear that my blog has been helpful! Bonn is a great city and I really enjoy living here.

Bonn is a quite town, but it's very pleasant. I live in New York for 11 years and it's nice to be some place that is quieter now.
