Two weeks ago I was for three days in Oslo for sightseeing. I know, three days is far too short for this beautiful city, but the trip ut the trip has been worthwhile. Since it may take some time until I have published all the pictures and can blog about the trip, I have previously…

A night at the Hotel Central-Classic Stuttgart
Due to an event last weekend, I stayed at the Hotel Central-Classic on Hasenbergstraße in Stuttgart. Jens had made the booking on the basis of the many positive reviews as well as its central location.

From the province to the big city. Travelling with Deutsche Bahn.
If you live in the middle of nowhere like me, you probably have a hard time with the level of service offered by Deutsche Bahn (the leading railway company in Germany).

A camel burger please. A tasting at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
The “legendary camel burger” at the Emirates Palace Hotel is recommended in just about every guide book on Abu Dhabi. Since I have eaten camel meat several times and enjoyed it, this has been on my to-do list for a long time. Last time I stayed at the Emirates Palace I was not able to taste…
