Last weekend I went to visit my best friend who now lives in Berlin. On Saturday we went to the Christmas Market at Berlin Charlottenburg. A proper Christmas Market with lots of stalls of local handicraft, something that I didn’t enjoy for quite some years! Proper Glühwein (mulled wine) and fresh waffles with hot cherries included

“Porr” means “porn” in Swedish, and “Baustelle” is German for “building site”… Now you probably get why I had to take this pic.
Thanks @martinkallstrom for sharing this one, and thanks Burki from Suisse 24heures for coming up with this gorgeous comment on Switzerland buying Swedish Gripen-planes.
At least it protects all your digital life carried by your favourite notebook.
I admittedly was a bit skeptic about the quality when I found this laptop sleeve on Coolstuff.se. But since I had already been looking for quite some time for a nice cover that doesn’t look boring, and since I didn’t find any that I liked, I gave it a try. The price seemed very much OK as well. And I didn’t get disappointed! This laptop sleeve really looks like an old envelope! And it is really sturdy, with a nice red, strong padding inside as well. It might take a bit more space in your rucksack, but to me, that’s worth it. You can even customise the sleeve further by writing on it, putting on stickers etc..
For my German readers, you can get this one as well at Yomoy.de , the German platform of Coolstuff.se.

One of these trucks we saw during the weekend:
Now, for an English-speaking person this is not that funny – but trust me, it is for a German, and especially for a German that knows Swedish…
Cos for us, this is clearly a company that transports dead people (“Toten” = German for the dead ones) and carcasses (what “AS” means in Swedish). And that even as far as to Portugal, when you check out their website. Impressive.
And it’s a Norwegian company, in case you wondered.
