Fatal accident of a blind woman on the U-Bahn - Last Wednesday, a blind woman (German link) who wanted to board the U2 at Silberhornstrasse in Giesing mistook the gap between the coaches for a doorway and fell into the tracks. She attempted to climb out but the driver, who did not notice the accident, started the train; it rolled over her, killing her instantly. Those are the bare facts, and one immediately thinks: How could that happen? Police and MVG investigations provide a long list of how… read more…

Lenbach's After Work Botox Party stopped - According to this news report, Botox-Party gestoppt, Lenbach have been banned from having the party as officials believe that Botox should only be administered in a safe and sterile environment. What Lenbach was offering was described as "embarassing, distasteful and pitiful". Lenbach defended themselves saying they offered the Botox party as a decent and serious event for their guests, who were all thrilled with the idea. I've been invited… read more…

Paramotor course near Lake Constance - I am tentatively looking into a Paramotor course. This is the pointless game of attaching a big fan to your back and a parachute wing thingie above like this: I have been doing some googling and this is a good resource for flying schools etc: http://www.motor-schirm.de/art_engine/article.php?article=8 I am talking the guys down near the Bodensee at Scheidegg (88175) about getting on a course, if anyone else is interested. Details on the website.… read more…

The new yellow at Münchner Freiheit U-Bahn - The U-Bahn station at Münchner Freiheit in Munich-Schwabing is currently undergoing major refurbishment. The last three or four months they ripped out all the interior panelling, the ceiling, and replaced the floor with new tiling. The last couple of weeks they just started installing the new wall panels. These are a bright yellow colour. Not sure I really like it. But I'm prepared to wait for the finished result before casting judgement. Photo below… read more…

Oktoberfest horse meat ban ends - Grilled Chicken, fish, pork… and now errr horse. The way has been cleared for horsemeat to be sold at the Oktoberfest, and at least one butcher has already submitted a request to run a stand selling pony grub. Previously, because of the perceived poor quality of the meat - sourced mostly from sick, old nags - it was forbidden to sell horsemeat at the Oktoberfest. Now, horsemeat is considered of the same quality as other meat. It was also… read more…
