Little pieces of heaven

https://bloganuary.files.wordpress.com/2021/12/fb-daily-prompt-jan-27.png In the summer of 2019, I took a 4 month vacation in Germany.

I have writen briefly about my time in Wedel here and here. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HUzORiWLD/ Since I was not working… Continue reading Little pieces of heaven

In fact when we were living in Wedel earlier, we were in a seven-storeyed Hochhaus, which is like a typical apartment building with 8 flats per floor, and it was… Continue reading The bunker in our basement

Sonntag = Ruhetag

Ruhe is a German word that literally translates to Peace. So Yes. Sunday is Rest Day. I do not know about the rest of Europe, but in Germany hardly anything is open on a Sunday. In addition to religeous reasons this is also for taking the interest of workers into consideration! How awesome is that?… Continue reading Sonntag = Ruhetag
