Hello everyone
 
I'm sure you've already heard that Phil the groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter. 
So how about English conversation to take your mind off the bad weather?
 
The "boys" like the beer at Drei Kannen Restaurant - so let's meet there
                    
again this month. Date:  FEB 26th - starting at 7 p.m.  I've reserved the tables upstairs again.

Hello Elizabeth,
 
The only way that I know, is to subscribe to the blog as a "feed". For example Windows live Mail, or Google Mail has a reader online, that delivers updates to your account. I see that you are at Yahoo, I am sure that they have this as well. Just look for a "Reader or "Feeds" and give the adress of the blog, and when it is updated, then you should get te news.
 
Sorry if I forgot to inform you directly. I will ask Dawn if she is kind enough to put you on her mailing list.
 
Cheers, and happy holidays,
Alan

I'm still not clear how this all works...
 
is there a way to automatically be informed when the Americans-in-Ulm-blog is updated?  I did not know there was a Stammtisch this month until after it happened...I see a link to subscribe at the bottom of the page, but then am asked to save something or other.

Hi everyone
I just got back from the USA - so this is going out quite late - sorry.
 
This month we'll meet at:
 
        Saloniki Restaurant Bei Niko ( Frauenstrasse 31 ) on Thursday, December 11th at 7 P.M. in Ulm.
        Their telephone number is 6 02 24 75
 
I liked the large space we had at Saloniki - but I heard that some of you would prefer to meet elsewhere in the future. We'll try to meet in various places in 2009.
 
 -  And as for the Christmas Market -  those people who are interested in going can arrange a date and time to meet at the market - when we meet on December 11th.
 
Hope you can make it.
Dawn and Heather

Fw: American in Ulm

Hallo!
 
Just this morning, I learned about your blog "Americans in Ulm". 
 
First, a little about me:  I moved from Pennsylvania to Ulm in Feb 2006 (my husband is a native German), married without children, 32, non-smoker, and I do not drink alcohol.  I'm slowly learning Deutsch on my own, but my main obstacle is the  nonexistence of actual verbal face to face practice. 
 
Second, what I am looking for:  someone to practice speaking Deutsch with.  One hour per week would be my suggested starting point.  They MUST be a non-smoker. 
 
I'm also interested in the monthly Stammtisch as well as speaking my native English with others.  I realize I just missed this month's gathering.  However, it might take me awhile to get myself to one of these gatherings.  The short story is anxiety in relation to groups.  Small groups, 4 or less people, might be more doable for me.  But, at this point I'd rather start slow and shoot for a 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 ratio.
 
I read through the blog this morning and saw that in addition to gathering to eat and drink once a month, sometimes there is a gathering for baseball as well in the warmer months.  Can I suggest another activity?  I love to play card games and it would be great (for me anyway) to have others to play with as well.  Not really a poker person myself, but games like gin, rummy or 7s.  Or even a board game like Mühle.  Interested??
 
Cheers!
Elizabeth

Stammtisch on Thursday

Well, I was at the Stammtisch on Thursday, it was really nice. I was speaking with George and Vladimir (I hope I wrote that correctly) and explained that I hadn't been to Saloniki Restaurant Bei Niko in years. My wife and I used to go there, and across the street to Alexis Sorbas quite often, about 9 –10 years ago, but the prices started going up, and the quality went down, so we stopped going. But I have to say, on Thursday I ate the Mousaka, to a fair price, and it was really good. Maybe I will visit again some other time. George said the next Stammtisch will be at the same place, same time, but on the 11th. I think Dawn and Heather will send a mail, and I will post it here again.

 

I met Kate, and she seems really nice. We were joking around that Wilhelm and I are learning Chinese, and that she speaks Chinese, who knows, maybe we can set up a "Chinese Stammtisch"! If anyone reads this, and is interested, drop a line.

 

Well 'nuff said for now. As soon as D&H send a mail, it'll appear here. 'till then, cheers,

Alan

And i'll stay in ULM for 6 monts.
I'm trying to find a housemate who can offer a room or rent an apartment together!!
Also, Can anyone recommend websites or resources to find housing/sublets/furnished rooms in the city? Is this a good way to find a room?
Does anyone in the group know someone looking for a roommate? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have to find this place asap :) and it should be located in the city center or close to it.
