Bremen

Litte late, but: Since August 10, I’m a “Bremer”! Bremen is a largely beautiful harbor town in Northern Germany, and with about 550,000 residents it’s not too small, fortunately. It’s also the home of Germany’s top and my favorite football club Werder Bremen. Currently, Werder is yet one of Europe’s 16 best football teams and for me, this means Champions League on the spot :)

The Roland and the city hall of Bremen.

The downside, after all these benefits: Beside “questionable” highway systems (oneways everywhere) Bremen means certain criminality (yet some idiots broke into my car in February, and other maggots broke a window pane of my girlfriend’s car two weeks ago). However, I’m in a mood too “romantic” to dig into that now.

I may rather thank for the nice welcome in Bremen, too; especially Arne Kriedemann and the local news site citybeat.de that yet bid me welcome with a small news entry (right after a road accident, huh). Very kind!

And finally, closing this cluttered extra post: How come that the Techniques for WCAG 2.0 do refer to the “Bremen Town Musicians” in an xml:lang example … A coincidence? ;)

The Bremen Town Musicians.

Figure: These guys yet made it into the WCAG Techniques.
