Germans and Christmas

Europe has a different fascination for Christmas. They tend to be just as obnoxious as the US, but in a different way. It's all about the Christmas trees and good cheer instead of Santas and commercialism. I like it.
And I meant to say "Every big city in Germany", not Freiburg. Just need to point this out.

The Germans are known for separating their garbage into usually seven different containers. They're advanced with their environmental endeavours, and this is just how we in our Wohnheim (shared apartment/flat) sort our garbage.

How the Germans Make Rice

My parents are Indian, therefore I should make rice everyday, or rather make a lot at once to feed me for a week. This is my experience with German Rice.

The Recycling Hof

Germans are crazy for recycling. For our Environmental Policy & Green Business Class, we had a field trip to the Recyclinghof (Recycling Centre).

Basel Rathaus?

I am making a guess here and I think this is the Basel City Hall, but I am really not sure. I just remember it was red and pretty.
