Swabian Food

At Eastersunday Beckie had invited us for a typical American dinner and so it was our turn to do the same for her. So we invited Heidi and Beckie from the International Office of Kettering for a Swabian dinner.

Together with Ulle our apartment cooked handmade ‘Spaetzle’ with ‘Schnitzle’.

World Expo of Beer

In our desire for "good beer" we tried to get one at the "World Expo of Beer". The fair was in Frankenmuth or "German Town". You know how typical German looks like for Americans, Germany = Bavaria.
We tried a lot of different kinds of beer but unfortunately no one taste like a German one. Even the German brands like "Franziskaner Weissbier".

Conclusion = I have to wait till I'm back in Germany :-( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




This is the right way!

University of Michigan, Ann Arbour

As you certainly know, I took the class "Intro to Virtual Reality" or "Multimedia Design". Our Prof arrange a trip to Ann Arbour to visit the Multimedia Lab at the University of Michigan (40000 students). Our class got a guided tour through the Virtual Reality Lab which was very interesting!

Let's go Hockeytown!!!!!

In addiction to see every kind of american sport we want to go to a hockey game. We were lucky cause the Detroit Red Wing (the FC Bayern in the NFL) came into to the Playoffs. We saw the first home game in Detroit.

What I expect was such a bad vibe in the audience like at the basketball games before! We were surprised cause the crowd was amazing and we got all what you can expect from a hockey game! We saw a few fights, some brutal body-checks, goals and a fast gameplay. Could we except more? Make yourself a picture!

The one and only Joe Louis Arena

Brutal check at the game. Watch it!
