I’ve had my eyes on a Subaru Forester for a few years now. I totally hate the new models, the third and forth generation look more like every other SUV on the market as Subaru needed to appeal to people thinking the Forester is a station wagon. The strategy worked, and Subaru is a top […]

So, last night we were out drinking. Some German guys, some French guys and me, the Romanian kid. We go to some German place to eat, we eat and then we go to a bar. We have some drinks and then Pascal sees the cute geek-looking German girl sitting at the bar. So he says […]

Well, in my German class, we are a wild bunch. There’s us two, one French, one Chinese, one Saudi, one newzellanden (I think this is the way it’s spelled), one Swede, one Canadian and one Uzbekistani an. All different. All liking Berlin.

Today at IFA I had the pleasure of listening to Robert Scoble speak in a panel about German and American Bloggers. It was weird somehobw, because he did not say nothing i did not knew and his presenting style is not so flashy (as oposed to Hugh McLeod, for example). I listened to some German […]
