AA Gill Article...


Interesting article in the Sunday Times last week on the River Danube (Donau) which rises in Donaueschingen, in southern Germany.

I don't think Gill always understands Germany or Germans terribly well, but it's a great read. you can read it by clicking here

Dienstag, d. 26. Januar 2007 - Jobs und Currywurst

Und so ist es - der zweite Tag der Woche vorbei. :)


Hier sind einige Informationen, fuer Schueler der 5. und 1. Jahrgaenge...


Fifth year !!!! Berufsbewerbungen - Applying for a job in Germany is bound by different etiquette to Ireland. If you are interested in what these conventions look like, then click here - it's only one page of a comprehensive website on the topic, www.bewerbung-schreiben.de. There's more...

...For articles on jobs and anything else current in Germany, check out Sueddeutsche Zeitung's youth edition, jetzt.de - it's very informative, some picture reports are more accessible than the actual articles. Many pieces are submitted by young people - it's a really interesting, interactive newspaper website.


First year - die Frischlinge!!

Was essen die Deutschen? - ziemlich alles....mmm...lecker....

click on the following web address, for more infos on what Germans eat when they have a hankering for some din dins.

A German friend says Currywurst, Kloesse und Brot are the most universally German. Maybe you'll find more: www.travelsthrough germany.com
