Anyone in 12049 Neukölln recognize this cat? It's been hiding in our Hof for 3-4 days. He/she is getting food and water from a neighbour but wants to go home. Please RT!

Germans have a unique obsession with Francophone Canada and I'd really like to know why. Upon learning I'm from Canada, 7 out of 10 Germans will ask, "The French part?" with a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

My 10-year-old beast of a laptop had been stuttering and crashing so often, I thought I'd finally have to upgrade. Then I realized Adobe Acrobat Reader was running constant updates that can't be disabled. Deleted the program and suddenly my laptop runs just fine.

You can tell a lot about a people & their culture by the snacks they travel with. I'll always fondly remember the woman who slowly and meticulously consumed an entire raw kohlrabi on a train ride through Bavaria.

Annual reminder to pet owners in Germany that probably the only way to have a peacefully fireworks-free NYE is to spring for a night in an airport hotel.

I hate fireworks with a burning passion. Pointless explosions 24/7, for days on end, reduce my dog to a quivering mess.
He’s old and has a heart condition so this terror is literally life-threatening. But sure, boys—because it is always boys—go ahead and have your stupid fun.

Perhaps rewatching Home Alone has made me paranoid, but the cleaners came yesterday (on Christmas Eve??) to mop the stairwells and propped up all the doormats (which they usually never do).
Anyway, I guess my neighbours are getting burgled for Christmas.

The sun has cracked through the dark glum abyss of the Berlin winter for the first time in probably weeks and it’s got my old geezer of a dog doing ecstatic zoomies around the house.

Hardly anyone in my neighbourhood has put up Christmas lights. Just one of the many consequences of this energy crisis winter.
