Janko, nothing to "cheer up" - I'm in good mood. I'm in Saarbrcken.
Sarre - I love this region. Saarbrcken is one of my favorite cities, very good mood on the streets, good shopping, good restaurants, good cultural scenery. It's atmosphere lays anywhere in the middle of Heidelberg (but older) and Dsseldorf (but more humanlike) - and no tourists, only a lot of neighbours from France. A good place to live, I swear. Less rain than in London and less fog than in SFO, less smog than in LA and less heat than in NY, less Nazis than in MCHN and less urin than in Cologne.
The landscape is GREAT here - similar to black-forest, but more wood and less roads. Air is better - mountain/steel-industry is history, good as background for theater-festivals. Nothing is "huge" - and this is - for me - clearly better than concrete-monster-cities. From Romain villages to mile-deep coal-mines you'll find a lot to see.
Come up to here - you'll like it. Last not least: Try the vine...

PS: Coming Tuesday we'll go back to Tenerife
PPS: I'm arranging some items and hope to "ride" SAP soon - it's quite stupid NOT to take this mother of all waves. |
