Hi everyone

 

First a message from a new Stammtisch member:

 

I am looking for another English speaking woman who would be interested in meeting with me any time from Monday through Friday to chat and have coffee, tea, lunch, shop, or just to walk.  I live in the city center and have been in Ulm for two months.  I will be at the Stammtisch group meeting on Thursday, April 23rd.  My email address is  rfwalter@yahoo.com.  My phone number is XXX-XXXX (removed from AL).
Thank you,
Annette Walter   

 

And second, this month's invitation. 

 

Stammtisch will be on April 23rd at Drei Kannen Historisches Brauhaus again - starting at 7 p.m. 

                                   Hafenbad 31/1     Tel: 67717  

         The area upstairs had already been reserved - so this time we're on the ground floor - to the left. 

 

Hope you can be there.

Dawn and Heather

Fw: [Americans in Ulm] New comment on Well hello 2 followers!

Thanks to Elizabeth for the following comment. The Leo website really is amazing; I have been using it for a couple of years now, but never had the idea to share it with anyone on my blog, so kudos Elizabeth for that as well.

 

If I may add; http://www.expatica.com/de/main.html is also pretty cool, especially for those just moved here, die Deutsch noch nicht mächtig sind.

 

Wishing a wonderful start into the week, and hope the weather finally starts getting better.

 

MfG,

Alan

Elizabeth has left a new comment on your post " Well hello 2 followers!":

The Stammtisch was cool. It was only my second time there, but I find it amazing how all these different sorts of people ended up in Ulm.

Anyway- for anyone actually interested in expanding their German, I find the Leo website extremely helpful:

It's far from perfect, but much better than Babelfish.

Well hello 2 followers!

 

Now that there are actually 2 people following this blog, I suddenly feel small pangs of obligation to write things. Isnt that strange how that works? We feel obligated to do things when we feel someone is looking, but the freedom to do other things when we think no one is looking? Enough philosophy for this morning. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the Stamm Tisch on Thursday, as I had something better to do, meaning, that I went to the movies with my wife. Not that I wouldn't have enjoyed the Stamm Tisch, I mean I always enjoy it, but going to the movies with my wife is a rare treat.

 

We went to see "Slumdog Millionaire", and I must say I was sceptical at first and really didn't relish the thought, thinking it would be more like Titanic with curry, but I was absolutely wrong, and even more swept away. I truly think that it won the Oscars with due merit! It really had all elements of great cinema, and I think that it will be a milestone, not only for India, but for the whole branch – Yes! You can make an Indian film with practically no mass-dance-scenes! Actually, the story was binding, the plot epic, and the camera and setting dreams of themselves. This will be a movie to be shown every Easter for the next 20 years. (after the licensing is all cleared up). Really an enjoyable night. So I am sorry for Dawn and Heather, but this time I have to say, that Jamal was the clear winner.

 

BUT! If anyone else would like to send a note, on how the Stamm Tisch was, please feel free to send a mail, and I will post it (them)

 

Cheers,

Alan

CONGRATULATIONS TO ASHLEY FOR BECOMING THE 1st FOLLOWER OF THIS BLOG!!!
