LI SGeL Alumni now AALISG

French adore acronyms and I adore them 😉 Just a couple of days ago I visited my old school, the Lycée International de St. Germain-en-Laye (see also wikpedia articles about the school and about the town ) and shot a few photos. Today via viaduc I got a mail sent to all members having listed the LI as part of their education. Viaduc is the French equivalent of linkedin.com and xing.com (openBC). The email said, that the alumni of the LI have a new site called aalisg.com. Looks promising, the other attempts I have seen so far were a bit mmhhh dare I say amateurish? So, if you spent some time in that institution 😉 like the guys in the next photo …

Reichstag tour

Every time I see the installation “DER BEVÖLKERUNG” at the Reichstag in Berlin, I can’t suppress a smile. It is an answer or a reaction to the dedication on the building “DEM DEUTSCHEN VOLKE”, which, as many point out is a funny way of phrasing.  In English, it could be translated as “to the German people”.  A designation also means, that somebody is actually designating this building as a gift:   “here you are, German people, you may use this building, but I , the German Kaiser, own it.”

A “subset” of my Reichstag photos can be found here, the full set, including the group photos can be found here.
