Winter, Spring, Autumn, Monsoon

Over the last month we’ve been posting photos with the theme seasons. Today’s the last day, so since we had so many great entries, here’s a quick tour of seasons around the world.

The theme for October is local transport, so if you want to join in, get out and snap some photos of transport in your part of the world.

Is there a German way?

The German Way Expat Blog is a really usefull source of information for English-speaking expats (and those planning to become such) on the going-ons in all German-language countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland).

Created as part of the German Way website, entries are written by webmaster Hyde Flippo and co-bloggers Geoff Galitz, Sarah Fürstenberger, and Jane Park; all are expats living in Germany.

To gain insight on the way expats experience everyday-life in Germany and all other German-language countries, this blog is a really good read. I’d also recommend it for native Germans (and Austrians and Swiss for that matter) who are interested in a different view on their country.
