Pippi Langstrumpf

Wer - ueber 30- erinnert sich nicht an Pippi Langstrumpf? Ich kann mich daran erinnern, als ich als Kind dachte "Wenn es doch nur etwas gaebe womit man Pippi Langstrumpf aufnehmen und immer wieder -so oft wie man moechte- gucken koennte." Waere ich technisch begabt gewesen, haette ich garantiert den Videorekorder erfunden, aber dem sollte nicht so sein.
Was fuer ein tolles Vorbild Pippi war: Ein Maedchen mit super Kraeften, unendlich viel Spass am Leben trotz manch trauriger Umstaende in ihrem Leben und immer nett zu ihren Mitmenschen mit etwas Frechdachs dabei.

Das habe ich bei Youtube gefunden, viel Spass:

Watch German shows on line

It's a pain in the butt to go through the many directory sites only to find out that you are not getting anywhere but ads when you click the links. I know of a couple sites - now, don't be mad! Most of the shows that you can watch on TV are not quality information channel. It's shows like Lindenstrasse or 'Bauer sucht Frau' or 'Mitten drin im Leben'. I don't care. I watch those shows in the background while I am working! That's how little attention you have to pay to those shows and still get the jest of it. So here is one link to ZDF shows : Click here and here is one for RTL shows : Click here For Lindentrasse you can just go to www.Lindenstrasse.de If you know of any links - share them please! Leave them as a comment or e-mail me! Thanks!

A blog for me ... and maybe you

I have a blog for my profession and I enjoy writing it but I don't get to write about fun stuff. I came to the US in 1989 when I was 21. That means I have now lived longer in the States than I did in Germany. Nevertheless, I still miss Germany and I remember everything there as if I left yesterday. This blog is not necessarily about me being from Germany but I would love for it to be a platform for other Germans (or foreigners from any country and Americans as well of course) to exchange ideas, tips, opinions etc. What do you miss from Germany? What do you like better here? Do you have a tip where one can buy German products? What are your favorite American items? Please help me with this blog and participate. I have nothing against German clubs .. I go to their festivals and enjoy myself but most of the time they are too traditional for me. I am from Bonn and even though I appreciate Oktoberfest, that is not what Germany is to me. Anything goes on this blog. Movie recommendations, plane fare deals, best make up you have found etc. Do you have a great recipe? Please share it.
