Following Anne, in no chronological order and intentionally incomplete, here are some cities I visited in 2008. I couldn’t resist.
- Aarau, Switzerland
- Basel, Switzerland
- Bern, Switzerland
- Bremen, Germany (obviously)
- Coburg, Germany
- Copenhagen, Denmark

The stories behind these cities vary (more so on my Travel Map on Facebook, I guess), from just stopping in a city to staying for a couple of nights to actually living there, and include both repeated and first-time visits. However, the 11 countries my trips involved contributed to an exciting and overall very successful 2008 for which I’m quite grateful.
Everyone—Happy New Year, see you in 2009.
About Me
I’m Jens (long: Jens Oliver Meiert), and I’m a web developer, manager, and author. I’ve been working as a technical lead and engineering manager for companies you’ve never heard of and companies you use every day, I’m an occasional contributor to web standards (like HTML, CSS, WCAG), and I write and review books for O’Reilly and Frontend Dogma.
I love trying things, not only in web development and engineering management, but also in other areas like philosophy. Here on meiert.com I share some of my experiences and views. (I value you being critical, interpreting charitably, and giving feedback.)
