Hiring a Car in Madrid

May 16, 2012 by MaikeLeave a Comment

When flying into Madrid, one of the first things you will want to do is getting a car. If you didn't bring your car with you (which make a lot of sense, because who will be willing to pay those shipping costs?), then it would be a good idea to take a look at some of the car rental services. Rentals are available in the most important areas of the city, which is very convenient if you have rented holiday apartments in Madrid. Here you will be able … [Read more...]

Nightlife in Florence

February 14, 2012 by MaikeLeave a Comment

Tuscany and Florence in particular are widely known for two things: Chianti and Renaissance art. On a vacation to Italy, staying in Florence apartments, you will most likely spend your days appreciating famous artwork and monuments such as Michelangelo's David, Il Duomo, or the Palazzo Vecchio just to name a few.

The Currywurst. A True Berlin Institution

January 17, 2012 by MaikeLeave a Comment

Usually there are not being served at the table in apartments in Berlin. It is much more common that they are being sold as a quick bite on the go to which the Germans refer to as Imbiss at Imbissbuden, snack carts etc. One of the most popular and widely … [Read more...]

The Swedish Swan Incident

June 3, 2011 by Joanne FariesLeave a Comment

"Shriek, inte. Shriek, inte." In her panic, Lisa resorted to Swedish. I tried to stop shouting, but my fear flew out of my mouth in a high-pitched scream. The flap of large white wings threatened boat upheaval. We clung to our paddles. "Why the heck did I come to Sweden, anyhow?" I thought. "I might die here today." *** When I filled out the exchange student profile, I checked the box for 'no pets'. Smoking - heck yeah, I'll inhale … [Read more...]
