I Break The News

Hey everyone! Get ready for some Movie News! Catch Jumanji: The Next Level in 3D on the big screen if you still can. We recommend it! I first saw this movie at the cinema around Christmas time with my mom and my nephew in Germany and we really enjoyed it! It is an all around family film. When you go to the movies in Germany you get this freshly made, hot, sweet overpriced popcorn which I love. In the US and Canada they only have freshly made salty popcorn. I thought I share this bit of international knowledge with you.😊 🍿 So this movie has everything! Adventure, fun, chemistry between the characters and the type of story you would expect for a sequel including the evil guy, which must be German because his name is Jürgen. Have you ever noticed that the villains in most movies are either Russian or German and the hero's are always American? That is just an observation. When I first found out there will be a Jumanji remake, I was not really up for it because I lik...

   Alexanderplatz - Berlin Zentrum Hello dear readers and a Happy New Year 2016 to you! May you have a year full of clarity, joy and memorable moments. As you might have noticed, I took a little break from the blog but now here I am - back again. Today I want to share a little travel adventure via plane, train and even bus, with you. In December I took my annual Christmas break and went to my hometown in East Germany. As always family time is my main priority but this time there was something else on the holiday schedule too - a 3 day trip to Berlin ! Let's just ignore the fact that I was living there for 1 year in 2006, because a few things have changed and I was able to re-visit the capital from the perspective of a tourist.  We wanted to make full use of our time in Berlin, so we had to make sure to find a place as close to the center as possible.   We found a very nice, small and inexpensive flat from which you could even see the TV to...
