Hamburg Pictures of the Week

| Another example of the German dog-bot. |
It's good to be a dog owner in Germany. Without the need for instruction, your genuius of a dog will wait patiently outside the meat shop while you pick from the endless supply of fragrant fleisch. He won't bark, he won't even drool. He'll just wait for you. Quite frankly, I think it's magic. Good, good boy.

| This week at TK Maxx Hamburg. |
This is no joke, folks. (Nor is it Halloween.) These striking dirndls (lederhosen for females) covered several walls of our TK Maxx so that eager people could begin their preparation for the 177th Munich Oktoberfest. This year marks the 200th anniversary of the famous 16-day festival that supplies beer, pretzels, pork, spaetzle, and sausage to some six million parched folks annually.

Federweiβer
|
(Literally: white as a feather) Only available for the first few weeks in September, I became a semi-hoarder of Federweiβer once I discovered its amazingness. This baby wine made from fermented fresh-pressed grape juice is a gem of a find. Due to the carbonic acid which is a byproduct of the fermentation, Federweiβer is as refreshing as homemade lemonade that is made right. According to the wine shop that sells me this fab treat, Federweiβer is a rich source of vits B1 and 2. I thought I tasted them in there...
