 Talk with Mark! / new members on the blockPlease introduce yourself here, a few sentences concerning the word "English". | | | | | elch19 | 07.12.08, 12:52, Beiträge: 6 | |  |  |  | Dear Renate,
thank you for the welcome in this circle. Yes, I think it's actually an inside tip.
Well, mainly I have visited the culture in the cities like museums or churches and sometimes Musicals or the opera. Erikastreet sounds interesting. And the Borchers http://www.borchers-hamburg.de I found in the Internet. Very attractice! Thank you for this tipp. An idea strikes me, possibly do you know the “Schnoor” in Bremen? I was surprised about the information that in Hamburg are more canals than in Venice.
Do you know “the Speicherstadt” or the "Kramer-Witwen-Wohnungen"? A housing area from the 17 century near "the michel". If you would like to listen to the dialect of “Hamburger platt” you should visit the Ohnesorg theatre. It is at the beginning a little strange to understand;-) Every time I visit Hamburg or Bremen I prefer eating "Labskaus". Did you ever taste this?
By the way, do you know Dresden and this location “Italiensches Dörfchen”, have here a look http://www.italienisches-doerfchen.de
I can imagine your enthusiasm to saw Barbara Streisand on stage. She is one of my favourite artists too. One of my highlights in the last years was the visit of the New York Met, the Semper-Opera in Dresden and this year “die Meistersinger von Nürnberg” in Bayreuth. I can’t discribe it – simply super!
Well, I don’t know, what will be my next destination. I live in NRW and there are a lot culture propositions (like Dusseldorf, Cologne, Bonn or Essen). Where do you live?
I wish you a nive 2. Advent and good start in the new week.

Thank you for the full discription of Christmas in Scottland. Is is very interesting and nearly the traditional Christmas in Germany. I get hungry when I read the details of the Christmas lunch.
Well, actually I have’nt make a decision, how or where to celebrate Christmas. I think I will visit my relationship and some good friends.
Have a nice 2. Advent.

welcome to this still tiny and exclusive circle. I think it is still an inside tip, isn't it?
You wrote that you like travelling to interesting cities, so do I. I am often in Hamburg. This city has become a home for me.
When I am in Hamburg, I usually buy rolls, croissants and crayfish salad in the Erikastreet. It's one or the only street in Hamburg with a lot of small and special retail stores, a one hundred year old cafe and the ugliest hotel of Hamburg.
The cafe has been distillery, sleazy pub and meeting point of the intellectuals over the years. It's called "Borchers".
Erika, you must go to the Erikastreet if you visit Hamburg again. It's in Eppendorf. One of the nicest parts of the city.
Last year I visited Paris for two days. When I came to the bridge Pont Neuf I needed to go across the bridge, remembering the story of the film "The Lovers of Pont-Neuf". It was a touching moment for me. But two once-in-a-lifetime-hours I had in the evening when I saw Barbra Streisand on stage.
I still remember nearly every minute in Paris.
What will be your next destination?
I wish you a nice week with Christmas preparations.
Renate

you`re asking about Christmas in Scotland. Oh, Christmas in Scotland is first of all a time for going to church, food, presents, parties, holidays and all sorts of other good things. It's a time for celebration because it's the birthday of Jesus. We`re very religious.
Planning for Christmas starts two weeks before the events. I think that children are busy writing their Christmas lists for Santa Claus, parents are busy buying presents, cleaning the house and organising food for the great day. It`s like everywhere. I don`t have any children.
Our houses are decorated with tinsel, holly wreaths - Kranz - candles and decorations. Mistletoe is hung to catch a kiss from anyone who stands under it. The Christmas tree decorated with baubles - Weihnachtskugel - , takes pride of place in any household.
On Christmas Eve, children prepare for Santa Claus by hanging up their stockings in anticipation of their being filled with presents while they sleep. They leave out a small glass of whisky or milk for Santa along with a mince pie. They also leave out some carrots for the reindeer, the red nosed reindeer that guides his sleigh through the dark skies. Then the children are ready to go to bed. In all the excitement children find it difficult to get to sleep. Some wake up pretty early in the morning or just don`t sleep at all.
Parents prepare the Christmas lunch while children play with their toys. Christmas dinner is a time when families get together - grannies, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins. Once it is finished and the clearing up done, there is generally a party. People sing songs, dance or play games.
A traditional Christmas lunch will include - Starter: Scotch Broth or Smoked Salmon.
Main course - Roast Turkey, Sage - Salbei - & Onion Stuffing, Chippolata Sausages, Roast Potatoes, Carrots, Brussel Sprouts.
Dessert - Christmas Pudding and Brandy custard.
And you? How do you celebrate? Christmas in a pub?. Sitting alone?
