First to FRA and then YYZ…
Not as nice as the one in the intl terminal 2 months ago… still enjoyable despite the lack of exterior windows and Bailey’s.
Night train to Amsterdam
Waiting in Hamburg Hbf (central train station) at midnight…
30min free Wi-Fi (in theory, it didn’t work and it would have required giving up my mobile#) but I have to pay €1 for the toilet. Really? Am I paying for cleanliness or for the automated gate they installed?
Can’t say I slept that well as the (top) couchette’s cushion was a little thin and 2 inches too short. But way more comfortable than a plane seat! You do get a pillow, sheet and blanket.
Although there were 6 couchettes but only 4 people (I paid €10 extra for a max 4 cabin)
The middle couchette flips down during the day, becoming the backrest for the seats.
1st class sleeper for2 people, which also has its own washbasin.
Lübeck old town – a Unesco site
Poor photo of the main gate to the cute old town, which is also ringed by water.
Didn’t know about the Unesco designation!
I’ve been here before, so I only did a quick drive through…
Trader Joe’s goods in Germany but not Canada?
That’s so unfair
I can’t imagine this one being an overly proud export
One narrow washroom
In my cousin’s apartment. Yes you see that right. Bathroom is almost 4 feet wide and your knees would hit the wall.
Apparently there were shared washrooms in the hall when the building was built, and the private bathroom squeezed in during a renovation.
The Englification of German continues
Or is that Anglicization?
A few more examples I’ve seen or heard lately:
Park and ride (P+R on signs)
Stop and go (UN traffic report)
Nonstop you (the latestLufthansa airline tag line, which, ironically, was decidedly not nonstop for me in either direction)
Name this fruit
Hint: not a pear, though it looks like one, and is rock hard.
My aunt made tasty jelly out of them
Bling me!
Too obvious for derisive commentary (it might be hard to tell, but it’s a cat face pendant) for this storefront display
