Mohnmarzipan + Sauerkrautsaft

-
When I lived Germany about ten years ago, Mohnmarzipan (poppyseed marzipan) was one of my favorite yogurt flavors.  Searching for it in recent visits over the years has been futile.  But alas!  Happy to report that I found a jar at Te Gut.  Yogurt in Germany comes in jars.  Compared with American yoplait, it's more dense, and less sweet.  I love the texture of the poppyseeds in yogurt.  Yum.

The percentage you see next to the yogurt - 3.8% always represents the amount of fat in the product.




I also found Sauerkrauftsaft.  Yep.  It translates to sauerkraut juice.  Not sure if it would be sour, refreshing, or vomit-inducing.  Will lay low until I get some proper recommendations/reviews from the locals.


Okay, a quick google search and I found that this drink is high in:
  • Milchsäure (lactic acid - but why would you drink lactic acid?)
  • Vitamin A,B,C,K
  • Mineralstoffen (minerals)

Vending Machines in German Bathrooms

-

While called "Condomat", this German vending machine sells much more than just condoms.  In this one found in the ladies facility, you can find  a host of toys.  A little perplexed about the product selection.  Wouldn't floss and gum have higher turnover?  Whatever happened to basic female hygiene products? FYI: this was in the IKEA bathroom in Hannover.

Step-by-Step: How to register yourself at the Uni Goettingen

-
This blog article is specific to new PhD, Post Docs, and Researchers at the University of Goettingen.  Having semi-successfully navigated this process, I hope that I can share some of my lessons learned: 1. DS.   Find the department's secretary (DS) - they will not proactively point you anywhere, but you might get an answer if you ask the RIGHT question. 2. Admission by Dean.   If you are a PhD student, submit an actual application of PhD admission to the Dean's Office.  Contact your dean's secretary (for the Econ Dept, contact Editha Niemann).  Even if you have already been admitted by your professor, you will also need this document - and it can often take 6-12 weeks.  This is because the Dean has to review your application with the admissions committee.  Without an official admission letter, you cannot register as an official student (and you forgo many of the benefits that come with being a student).  For details on the documents you need ...

Charlotte, NC - liveable or not?

-
Pros Charlotte is run by cute pups.  A 1:1 ratio of dogs to humans.  Poop bag dispensers on every other street corner waste bin.  Dog bars and parks. Blue-skies. People stroll.  Cons Charlotte made my Russian taxi cab driver a racist.  Her ex-husband's new wife, a "Filipinian" won't let her see her kids, and even caused her time in jail. En-route to Charlotte, the southern-accented flight attendants commented, "There's an Asian on this flight with a baby that can't be more than six weeks old". Clothing cannot be obtained in the city proper.  None.  All clothing is relegated to shopping malls in the burbs.  Not even a boutique... My hotel My hotel has a group of models in training.  They've left the door open to the make-up room.   Next door, Johnson & Wales has a monstrously large training restaurant, but it's not open to the public... still trying to devise a costume/scheme.
