Bullying Goats and Dive-Bombing Vultures

Jun 22, 2013 by Daniel McBane 2 Comments

Bird of Prey Show Edersee

I spent last week in my mom's hometown in The Middle Of Nowhere, Germany, for a cousin's wedding—The Middle of Nowhere is officially called Affoldern, but only the ten farmers who live there know that. In between various wedding-related activities and obligations, we got the chance to take my two-year-old nephew to a nearby wildlife park, the Wildtierpark Edersee. The … [Read more...]

Funny Sign Toilet Brush

I spent last week in my mother's hometown, an area of Germany with more pigs than people, for a cousin's wedding. I found this helpful sign teaching toilet brush use in the bathroom of our bed and breakfast. You might be able to guess this, but 'falsch' means 'incorrect', 'fast richtig' means 'almost correct' and 'richtig' means 'correct'. To be honest though, this sign doesn't … [Read more...]

Besides, as the author of a post on how to take crappy pictures, I feel I should demonstrate just how qualified I am to be giving out such advice. I've been in Berlin for the past few months and have … [Read more...]

Why Taking Your Child to a Beer Garden Is a Good Thing

Nov 6, 2012 by Daniel McBane 11 Comments

Playground at a Beergarden Berlin

Beer and liquor companies may not be allowed to advertise to children, but that doesn't mean that children don't drive sales. I wrote in a recent post that the main thing I learned from staying with my sister and her family is not to have kids. I also learned that, if I did have a kid, I would need alcohol—and lots of it. Not to help with the stress of raising the kid, mind … [Read more...]
