One TV commentator called the German soccer team the “bright young things.” I agree with him – that game today against Australia was action packed and pure delight. Congratulations for a well-deserved 4:0. Now keep it up, will you, please?
The opening game (South Africa v. Mexico) for the FIFA World Cup was reason enough to have breakfast at the Vinoteca. Never mind that it was 6.55 AM – there were plenty of guests who did not mind to crawl out of bed early for this event. And it was all worth it: Good game, [...]

The author of that article praised the punctuality of German trains and buses, [...]
Yes. On my personal temperature scale (pre-summer / summer / winter) two nights ago winter arrived. The first night with satisfying amounts of rain and quite a drop in temperatures. Which necessitated the employment of the winter quilt for the time to come until pre-summer. And switching on the heating in the mornings. And taking [...]
