>> Straight Outta Quarantine: Short Trip To The Baltic Sea! 🏖️ Ausflug An Die Ostsee!!


Hello everybody! This short family trip was really more of a spontaneous idea. The Ostsee or Baltic Sea is one of the favorite vacation destinations for us Germans. And as probably everyone else on this planet - I really REALLY needed a break from the lockdown life and constant stream of negative information. So we took the car. Honestly because I don't have a drivers license and the autobahn has no speed limit I felt like I took part in a Formula 1 race I had not signed up for.. :) I am more used to trains or the subway you know.



After several hours, we reached our destination. Our place was really just 5 minutes from the beach and had a balcony. The weather was great right away! I am really not sharing this to show anything off since this was a simple and short trip but I just hope to send you some positive energy with that. And also to let you know, that even a small and inexpensive trip with some good people after quarantine can work wonders on your mental health and overall outlook. I am not saying ignore reality but give yourself a well deserved break! 🏖️

Das ist ein Mohnfeld

Das ist der Strand

We really had no idea that around the time we left for our trip, it would be the same time travel restrictions were lifted and beaches opened up for visitors. (at least within Germany) So we spent time on the beach, getting a tan/sunburn and to just absorb this relaxed climate. We ate some typical food of the region and walked around quite a bit. Generally speaking: Germans love walking everywhere! Which reminds me, when I moved to Toronto and realized without a car you are pretty much screwed.. Should have done more research.🇨🇦

Das ist ein Fischbrötchen

Das ist eine Windmühle

Back to the trip: For me it was a time to be relieved and I was just thankful for this nice experience after the long time of lockdown life. I thought about my goals and how I had so many plans for 2020 originally. Unpredictable. So I thought about taking brave steps - pretty much like I usually do. I thought about getting married in 2020 to do something positive with this year. After all I somehow still believe in this thing called lasting love. And I want to get into another tax bracket. I already got married once in Kindergarten. Wondering what Markus is doing these days.. and if he is thinking about me sometimes.

Hello dear readers! In this presentation, you will hear how the US population was influenced online during the time leading up to the 2016 election. Surprisingly open, Alexander Nix former CEO of British company  Cambridge Analytica gave us an insight on what is possible in regards to - allegedly - manipulating hundreds of thousands of people by using personal data. After watching this, in conclusion we would like to say: 'Thank you for your input or maybe not?'  And if you now think - well that was recorded in Germany in 2017, we can only reply by saying, we are sharing this with you better late than never because what else are we gonna do on a weekend in isolation?!  Also, there is a documentary out on Netflix called The Great Hack .

Wenn auch Du denkst dass der einzig richtige Weg,  aus der sich immer weiter zuspitzenden Lage in der Ukraine, Gespräche und Verhandlungen statt immer weiterer Waffenlieferungen sind, kannst Du hier die Petition für den Frieden unterschreiben. Außerdem findet am 25sten Februar um 14 Uhr eine Kundgebung vor dem Brandenburger Tor in Berlin statt . Desto mehr Teilnehmer sich dort einfinden, desto mehr wird der Gesuch nach Verhandlungen die zu Frieden führen können, gehört. Solltest Du also gerade vor Ort sein und diese Einstellung teilen, kannst Du dich gern den anderen anschließen die ebenfalls durch Vernunft etwas bewirken wollen,  als die Krise durch weitere Waffenlieferungen immer weiter anzuheizen. Hier kannst Du weitere Informationen finden.

>> Introducing: Bernd Das Brot - Germany's Most Grumpy Yet Most Beloved Mascot!

Bernd Das Brot & Ivonne The Editor Once again we bring you unique content, because who else but us would write a feature article about a grumpy piece of bread that goes by the name of 'Bernd'. Only we do this internationally. :)  The notoriously low spirited piece of dough, is famous in Germany for his TV Show ' Bernd Das Brot '. It is about him, being as grumpy as a loaf can get.   photo:  AP/ Thüringer Allgemeine To honor him, there is even a 2 meter tall statue of his likeness, located in the city center of  Erfurt, Germany since 2007. In 2009 this statue made headlines when an anonymous group abducted Bernd from his regular spot. A few weeks after that, he was found by police in a basement nearby. Their statement was: 'It is definitely him, he is ok.' Fynn and Bernd das Brot   Nobody ever really found out who brought the German cult figure into the basement and why. But he is good and back at his old spot and that is all that
