This was taken at a nightclub in Cologne. Love the abstract quality of the image… looks almost surreal, a bit like a painting. Click on the picture for a larger view.
Here are a few pictures I took in and around Cologne Cathedral last week… The image quality is ok but not great, since all I had with me was my 4-year old Canon Powershot SD450 (I didn’t feel like lugging my DSLR with me) The SD450 clearly shows its age… I do love that little [...]
I’m at the Munich airport, waiting for my flight back to California after spending the last 10 days in Germany. Will post some pics soon…
Germany moves on to the round of 16, playing Sweden on Saturday. I say we’ll beat the Swedish side 2:0.
Phew!! I am exhausted. Germany’s game against Poland was just absolutely nerve-wrecking! Germany scored the winning goal in the 91st minute, seconds before the game ended. I am sure my neighbors were wondering what was going on in my apartment since I was yelling and jumping up and down… What a great finish to an [...]
Woohoo! 4:2 !! Gooooo Germany! Now that’s what I call a fun opening game. Fast-paced, lots of goals… and Germany winning of course :) I just hope the much (and justly) criticized German defense will improve or otherwise we’ll be in for some surprises… Ok, so Wednesday we’ll be playing Poland. I’m thinking Germany will [...]
Ok, I think I’ll have to lock myself into my apartment for the next couple of weeks with a good supply of beer and snacks. There’s plenty of soccer that needs to be watched! My bet for tomorrow’s opening game, Germany vs. Costa Rica: 2:1 I am so excited :)
Just returned from Germany, and once again I am in catch-up mode. I think I’m going to spend this coming weekend at home, it’s been months since I last did that. Plus, the soccer world cup is starting this Friday, so I’ll probably want to spend a good amount of time in front of the [...]
Woohoo!! Soccer World Cup 2006 will be starting soon. It happens only every four years, and it’s the biggest sports event on the planet, bigger even than the Olympic games. And this year, it will be taking place in the country where I grew up, Germany. Kickoff will be on June 9th with the game [...]
Heading back to California tomorrow. The week in Germany has gone by way too fast, and I’m bummed that I have to leave my family again. But it’s been one awesome week with lots of memories to last me for quite a while. Oh did I mention that I hate packing?
Ahh the holidays…. I continue to be somewhat out of touch with the real world, as I haven’t followed the news much in the last few days. I am enjoying the winter wonderland all around me and continue eating way too much home-made food. I had hoped for a white Christmas, and I sure got [...]
Here are the first two pics taken at my parent’s house in Germany… I had forgotten how beautiful it all looks when it’s covered in snow. I’ll be posting more pics in the next few days. Just click on the images to see them in full size. This album is powered byBubbleShare
Wow… I haven’t posted anything in almost a week! Well it’s been busy for sure… in a good way. I flew to Germany on Friday and had all sorts of things to take care of before leaving. Now I am with my family and we are having a blast together. It’s been years since I [...]
Dr. Angela Merkel is now officially Germany’s first female chancellor. She’s got a lot on her plate, starting with the challenge of actually keeping the Grand Coalition from falling apart. Merkel will have to rely on her coalition partner’s support for most everything she does, and it remains to be seen if she can manage [...]
