Crossing Cultures Germans and Colors May 26, 2010 by cat This post via BoingBoing has everything I could want in one article — a discussion of linguistic and cultural differences between German and English, a sprinkling of medieval history, and beer: “Chramer, gip die varwe mir! Germans and Colors“
Everything Else Gus and Ollie Meet Craft Hope May 7, 2010 by cat I recently participated in a wonderful craft night where we stitched educational bean bag toys for orphans in Liberia, as part of project Craft Hope. This was coordinated by Jessica Allen, a lovely Australian expat living in Hamburg, and the creative force of Gus and Ollie over on Etsy. Not only does she make the cutest plush toys you ever did see, but she’s just started a blog as well. Give her a visit! The Gus and Ollie Blog
