You can see that monuments especially that cross in Theresienplatz or Theresa's Square in the old city of Straubing. Happy SS to all and have a great week too!

Visit to Eremitage in Bayreuth

We visited Eremitage, a castle in Bayreuth last August. They also have a very nice garden there. This water pond you see in my photo is also found in the castle. I wish to go back there again to see more around. We just spend some hours there and it is not enough for looking around. That's me in the photo! Goodnight for now!

Bought A Red Camping Guide for Germany

HB was laughing at me as he saw me taking a picture of the book I bought last weekend and put inside a red pail while carrying it. That is why the background is also red because I also bought a red pail. I am just getting ready for a camping escapade next year. The title of the book means Camping Guide for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and South Tirol. I wish to experience more travel next year when finances are available. I won't stay too long tonight. I have to wake up early tomorrow to attend a funeral ceremony of HB's relative. The place is around two hours drive from us. Condolence to HB's family and relatives.

I wish everyone a wonderful start of the month of November! I wish to visit you soon. sorry got some problems with our pc and netbook.

Planning for the Future

Have you heard about Harrison Barnes and his writings? If not just continue reading please. I watched last night some news on the television. Spiegel TV, a German TV program featured on its news about the millions of unemployed workers in United States especially the young ones. A lot of them are forced to enter the military just to have a job. I believed they need to have a good career advice before entering into this kind of career. There are millions of unemployed people now all over the world since the economic and financial crisis that hit us since last year. I have to admit that I am one of them. I guess I am still not too old to plan for my future. I need to have the right choice and the perfect time to start all over again. I already tried to find a job here in Europe. Since my education and work experiences are not recognized here, I need to start all over again. I even know some friends who shifted careers just to have a better job. I am happy that they are successful now. I believed it is time for me to move on and work for a better future. One step might be going back to school again.

Last night, I came across AHarrisonBarnes.com. It is a blog authored by a previous asphalt worker who became a successful lawyer and CEO. His name is Harrison Barnes. I read his biography and I admired how he succeeded in his life. What caught my attention as I was reading his blog are those very interesting articles he wrote about career advice which are indispensable to job search. I truly found his topics very helpful especially to a person like me who is already frustrated in trying to find a better job. Harrison Barnes don't only offer relevant career advice but also advice on life. I wonder how he became successful and I admire him sharing his thoughts and great ideas to individuals. I also love the saying he wrote at his other site CareerMission.com. The saying goes like this, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars." How it would be great to land on stars! I also found a lot of job tips and information at CareerMission.com, another site which is also founded by Harrison Barnes. Just now, I discovered that working at home and earning money online is also possible in his other site named ShortTask.com. I guess this one is perfect for me. I'll see you later guys. I need to sign-up now in this site.

Lastly, I would like to apologize to all my friends online. My computer is really working very slow now. I wish to visit you soon. Have a great week too!

Saintpaulia, African Violet for Halloween

We are just done with dinner eating my favorite Schweinebraten or roasted pork with a special home made sauce prepared by yours truly. Saintpaulia or African Violet is my TF entry for Halloween. I love these small but lovely flowers. This is one of my fave colours. Wishing everyone a good start of the month of November!
Saintpaulia, commonly known as African violet, is a genus of 6 species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to Tanzania and adjacent southeastern Kenya in eastern tropical Africa, with a concentration of species in the Nguru mountains of Tanzania. The genus is most closely related to Streptocarpus, with recent phylogenetic studies suggesting it has evolved directly from subgenus Streptocarpella. The common name was given due to a superficial resemblance to true violets (Viola, family Violaceae). wikipedia
