Lucky You I found your blog!
Sounds like you had a far better repping experience than I did when I had to organise a ski trip; where's the next installment?

Cologne Christmas Market Hey! Great blog entry, is there anywhere in Germany that you recommend for a couple? I heard good things about the Cologne Christmas Market and thought I would give it a try. Do you know if its recommended? Thanks
Hey Mark! Sorry I never responded to this - have been ignoring this website somewhat...if you're still looking at German Christmas Markets, I would say Cologne is not the best one. I've heard very good things about Munich and Nuremberg - so more towards the south, and Dresden is supposed to be pretty cool too. But any big town will be worth it - I just don't think the North of Germany is the best part of it...
Let's be honest: it gets you close to small children and there's no way that can be a bad thing.
Also, if I ever meet the little girl who claims to be your biggest fan, I will hunt her down and kill her.
Hey hey! Thanks for the comments - it really is the season to be here, you're right! Will definitely visit Siegburg - thanks for the tip, although I am also planning on Essen, which apparently has a medieval market. The school job is actually a lot of fun - would obviously be nice to be paid for it too, but it's a great experience! And Gluhwein here I come :P tomorrow is the first day of the markets :-D xxx
YES! I read your blog regularly Anna, so happy you're enjoying it. And well done on the school job! I remember the exchanging cartoon notebook pages and collecting them! It was THE thing to do when I was in primary school, we would have hundreds of those!
Isn't the beginning of Karnival in Cologne amazing? I was so shocked when I saw all these people dressed up- old and young. And most of them were already drunk by 10:30 am!
I forgot to say- go to Siegburg to see the Medieval Market! and enjoy all the Gluhwein!
Vielen Dank! Und ja, es ist ein schoener Anfang - hoffentlich wird es auch ein schoenes Jahr sein! ReiseReise - das ist natuerlich "A homage to Rammstein" :-) Vielleicht ist das ein Titel fuer ein spaeteres Blog ;)
I also wish you were a boot... ...on my, no doubt stockinged just for you, feet. I am simply too grateful that you have been reading and responding to my mad rumblings! Will keep it updated just so you can keep imagining your life as a boot - I already have a good one brewing for tonight, and I do just mean a good blog ;)
Oh the splendidness As I read this I wished I could be the boots on your (no doubt stockinged) feet rustling through that beautiful bed of fallen leaves and I could feel the bite of the crisp cold air on my cheeks (would i still have cheeks if I were a boot).
Loving this.
And are I say....well written.
!!!!!!! Omg I can't believe I never knew you had such an amazing writing style, love! Absolutely enchanted by your stories - all the colours, flavours, sounds and pictures - can't wait for more! xXXXX
Ganz schön ;) sieht als ein guter neuer Anfang aus, oder?
Wünsche Dir eine sehr schöne Zeit in Deutschland.
Da dein Blog "ReiseReise" heißt, glaube ich, dass du schon ziemlich begeistert für Deutschland und deutsche Kultur bist... ;)
