Fortunately, I've been directed to some places in Aachen and Maastricht that are well-stocked with books in English. <br /><br />We will hopefully be making our way to Berlin very soon!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356775334775766128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363919818094625575.post-58671684118583785912012-04-17T16:19:55.333+02:002012-04-17T16:19:55.333+02:00hi, i've been reading your block for the last ...hi, i've been reading your block for the last two days. i am a german who is living in the US (in Atlanta), and it's interesting to read about your experiences in germany. if you miss books written in english you may not know that you can get them from the german amazon. maybe not every single book, but at least every book on the New York bestseller list (http://www.amazon.de/books-englischsprachige-fremdsprachige-bücher/b?ie=UTF8&node=52044011). Most larger bookstores also have some of the books in english. at least that was the case in Berlin.Verenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106541650353519278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363919818094625575.post-2159228864568850552012-01-12T08:11:04.840+01:002012-01-12T08:11:04.840+01:00Three Wise Men!

But I think you are doing a great job, because you are curious and intressteted, you want to learn. I think that is the most important thing! <br />The kids you saw, weren't wizards, they were the three wise men, who visited Jesus after he was born. It is a tradition from the Catholic Church. They are always collecting money for a charitiy project. As far as I know normally for poor kids somewhere around the world.<br />And you are right, the brochure on the right is asking for clothing and shoe donation.<br />The brochure on the left is the programm from Karneval in your village. Have you heard about Karneval yet?Rikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404535245296445739noreply@blogger.com
