The alcohol free version, served with a slice of lemon is very refreshing on a warm day. The other type - with alcohol - makes you very drunk. The opposite of refreshing, in fact.

Springtime is in full bloom here and it’s tee-shirt weather, all the sweeter after a long, cold winter. With all the blossoms, flowers and leaves around it doesn’t feel like a busy industrial city at all. It seems like quite a few people in the neighbourhood (Das Kreuzviertel*) are into their classic autos. I put up a new slideshow in the gallery, so have a look at die hipsterwagen I found.

*Kreuzviertel roughly translates as ‘Cross’ Neighbourhood, probably due to the busy Kreuzstraße street that bisects it. Or maybe not.

My excuse was that I’ve been very busy with an online course, something I#d like to write aboschwipp-schwapput shortly. So, much later than promised, the featured soft-drink is… Schwipp Schwapp! I love the name, just so German, but hate the taste; cola mixed with fanta orange - yuck, think I’ll stick to the Vitamalz.

I’ll be on the Vitamalz (a lecker non-alco maltbeer) instead. There will another German drink featured here tomorrow!vitamalz

I had loads of stuff I wanted to write about, so I’ll just quickly say that the neighbourhood here is pretty cool, and that some German women make their men sit down to urinate - mad yokes, or what? (Just when I was starting to think that Germans were actually pretty normal people) More on that and other German weirdness later.
