I’m very glad to be able to tell that this year, another German cultural heritage has made its way up north. The Scandinavian loved the Christmas tree, and now, here it is: The figure-formed sausage in its Christmas edition. As you probably know, Germans are sausage enthusiasts. That why there’s…

Had an amazing time at Deutsches Technikmuseum (German Museum of Technology) yesterday. A museum buzzing with loads of visitors and with so many amazing objects in all sizes (trains, planes, ships…). Always contextualised with the negative sides of technological advancements.
