My Brother Nathan , recently of Dubai - soon to be of Thailand, sits in with me on this one. We discuss and describe some of the German New Year’s (or Sylverster) traditions as we’ve experienced them over the years. Read the whole post ⇒
With the holidays coming so fast I thought that I’d better take some time to get out another episode to you right away. I love the winter holidays and I especially love them in Germany, where a lot of tradition, good food and a cozy atmosphere are always on hand. Read the whole post ⇒
in recognition of this 13th episode I thought that it might be fun to talk a bit about some common superstitions in Germany. I wouldn’t really consider Germans more superstitious than any other nationality, indeed many of the same superstitions about good and bad luck that we English speakers have are to be found in Germany. There are, however, several which are particular to Germany and you can hear all about them (some of them) here.
Hope you enjoy the podcast and I look forward to your comments!

I was surprised, however, at the amount of tradition and effort that went into the first day of school in Germany when my son Simon started school a few weeks back. It seems that no longer how long I live here, there are always new things to learn about. Hope you enjoy this episode. Read the whole post ⇒

Last Friday I received a wonderful mail from a listener, Mrs. C. Neumann, who contacted me on the myGermany Podcast MySpace Profile. In her mail to me she discussed her experiences and point of view about the 9th Episode: German Stereotypes Revisited. I found it a fascinating read, as she has been an ex-pat in Germany for over 18 years. She adds a lot of color and flair to my rather pallid and superficial discussion on the podcast.

Thoughts Aside:If you are looking for cheap flights, try the customized flight deals that are offered around the clock, on flights to boston as well as the new york flights. The domestic flights have been coming up with economical deals, which is indeed a huge relief.
