g star raw jean

If there was the option of recommending just one single label of designer denim we would probably either go for cheap diesel jean. An Italian brand is common inside the sense which it appeals to fresh people because doing so presents them the idea to be different separate on your crowd. Designers of Diesel jeans are typically in vogue for quite a while now and they don39t mind spending those f

Cologne Coldplay and Xmas Markets

Gig was fantastic every one was given a wristband which lit up on certain songs made the crowd the light show. Fantastic night loved it.The new album is very bouncy and up beat. Can wait to see them again soon Xmas markets were fab much better than Vienna the

Dresden

My next stop was Dresden to visit Tim the foreign exchanged student who lived with my family last year. Tim and his family were great about showing me around Dresden and some of the surrounding area. I learned that around Dresden is wine country and in season you can take a walk through the vineyards and do wine tastings But I am getting ahead of myself. On my first evening Tim showed me around

Dreaming of Dresdens Royal Days

Dresden was known as the Florence on the Elbe river or the 39Jewel Box39 because of its baroque and rococo city centre until the beautiful city was bombed in World War II killing thousands of civillians.Now mostly rebuilt Altstadt Old Town and Neustadt New Town are split by the Elbe River and these days Dresden is home to many museums beautiful old churches like most of Euro

Dresden

We only spent two days in Dresden. We camped at a site about fifteen minutes from the city center and I must admit we didn39t see much of the city. Having been obliterated during the war 80 destroyed it all looks fairly new compared to many cities in Europe and most of the old buildings that remain have turned black with age.The campsite was populated almost entirely with retired people a

Leipzig surprises

We have chosen to stay in Leipzig for two nights just to give ourselves a break from one night stands. Our guidebook mentions a few places of interest in the old town and so this morning we set off to see what the city offers using the tram that stops just across the road from our hotel. The tram was quiet at first with just a few people of mature age on board. We are also of mature age but o

A Quick Drive to Leipzig

Today we experienced the German motorway system and with the help of Miss GPS we were soon in Leipzig. The route we were taken on had us passing names like Berlin and Potsdam and destinations like Munich and Dresden. All places on our must see list for our next trip. But today we have chosen Leipzig as the first of three stopovers on our trip across Germany.When the German people put their min

A rainy wedding day

Had the priviledge of attending the wedding of one of my 28 AFS exchange students that i have been involved with this Saturday. I shouldn39t really say they are students as you try to make each and every one of them part of your family and if it works they become like one of your own children.So a wedding in Germany. I39m not sure how much of their wedding was traditional and how much w

Last day in Leipzig

Yesterday was a walk around the city day taking in the old architecture from this very beautiful city.Leipzig was established in the 11th century and by the 17th century was one of the leading cultural cities in Europe with the composers JSBach Schumann and Mendelssohn all calling this place home.Leipzig was the largest city under the former GDR years of 1949 to 1989 and a lot of the uprising a

Leipzig delights

I39m staying with Alex and his family on the outskirts on Leipzig. They own a trucking business but also have numerous other side businesses including horse drawn carriage rides which are popular with schools in the district.Some carriages can take 6 people and others up to 20. These are pulled by 2 or 4 horses out of their stable of 8 that they have on the property.The horses are extremely w

Although l miss my famil

Viel

Heb al een enorme tijd niet meer op mijn blog geschreven omdat ik ontzettend veel gedaan heb en er veel gebeurd is. Hoop dat ik me nog alles herinner. Heb de afgelopen weken ook enorm hard moeten studeren omdat ik vier examens had in minder dan een week. Het is allemaal gelukt voor de mondelingen twee hele goede cijfers. Voor de schriftelijke weet ik mijn cijfer helaas nog niet maar gaf behoor

Studieren und eine Niederlandische Freundin

Het was weer een interessante drukke leuke met ook een paar stomme dingen week. Behalve dat ik veel moest studeren mijn band plat ging en nu weer plat is terwijl ik hem dinsdag heb laten maken was het aan het begin van de week heel mooi weer wat iedereen natuurlijk vrolijk maakte. Helaas was het dit weekend slecht weer met veel regen terwijl juist dit weekend Eva langskwam. Maar het moch

A rainy day in Dresden

Yesterday it rained and dribbled and poured and was generally miserable so we visited Dresden which is a big city on the Elbe river.On a warm summer day you would sit in the cafes and near the Elbe enjoing a very scenic city but since it rained we visited the Art Gallery and the church Frauenkirche a Lutheran church.The church was extensively bombed in the second world war and has been rebuilt al

Studieren und Polizei

Toch dan nog even snel een korte blog want zo veel is er eigenlijk niet te vertellen. Nadat mijn ouders zijn vertrokken is dan weer het echte studeren en heb ik eigenlijk de hele week hard gestudeerd en begin weer een beetj op schema te komen om mijn examens goed te kunnen maken. Ik zit dan de hele dag in de bibliotheek met koffiepauzes en bijvoorbeeld op woensdag een enorme storm met enorm harde

GoerlitzBautzen

A little late but it39s been a transition being back home. Our last trip we took was to Goerlitz the border town where 13 of the town is actually in Poland and Bautzen where there was cool stuff including a mustard store with free samplesGoerlitz was actually really beautiful. The buildings were lovely and it was a quiet nonhectic place and I really liked being there. We went to this a

Playing in Water

Well to celebrate our last Sunday together Anna Brittany Kara and I set out last Sunday to get some ironic Mexican food and ended up decided that we wanted to play in the fountains at Albertplatz and then get into the Elbe River near Old Downtown so we did It was pretty awesome since it was so hot that day and splashing around in the water was definitely something that was spontaneous an

Sommer

Deze week heb ik geleerd dat het best fijn studeert hier in de bibliotheek en dat door vijf dagen geen internet te hebben. Op woensdag had ik thuis weer internet maar studeer nog steeds in de bibliotheek. Heb deze week dus veel gestudeerd maar ook heel veel leuke dingen gedaan. Bijvoorbeeld op maandag. Op Maandag had ik een lange lesdag omdat een uitgevallen werkcollege naar negen uur 39s oc

Fortresses in Schsische Schweiz

I thought today was going to be a relatively short day but I tend to be wrong about these things. Today was a national holiday in Germany Ascension Day and there was this big church conference or something happening in Dresden so there were so many PEOPLE everywhere. It was a real pain to get around I won39t lie. And today was the day we headed out to Schsische Schweiz Saxony Switzerla
