All tagged New Year's Eve
New year, new episode and we kick off with a lesson on gracefully offering New Years greetings, Nic discovers New Year’s Day has a morning, and Dili argues that sleep is the best way to celebrate Silvester. We question the current fireworks debate, Dili brings us positive news as two Berlin museums offer to return items taken during the colonial period, and we finish with 2023 predictions.
After a Christmas weekend to remember, we recap our festive adventures. Dili’s exploits in the Netherlands bring some exciting salad recipes, and tales of caviar fueled partying. We also discuss missing family and friends, We look at our highlights over the year, as well as some of our favourite moments on the pod, and we finish with our overall favourite events and bits of culture from 2022.
Maybe we’re getting old, but usually when we talk about “getting pickled” it’s after a night on the sauce, but not this week. After receiving a delivery of vinegar, Simon’s taken to pickling anything he can get his hands on, but how do Germans feel about a pickled egg? Nic has more pressing concerns than Simon’s new hobby though; what do you do when you lose interest in a long German sentence? Is it normal to daydream while waiting for a verb to appear in German conversation and how can you train your brain to pay attention when someone uses an infinite amount of commas?
With festivities coming to an end, we talk about leisure drinking during Christmas, New Year’s cocktails and accidental impoliteness. Simon discusses the importance of winning video games against relatives and Nic reflects on his cheese and stollen fuelled nightmares. We chat about plans for New Year’s Eve, fireworks bans, and New Year’s Resolutions. Finally, we finish the first pod of 2022 with a previously unheard conversation taken from our chat with Dr. Sandra Jansen, way back in episode 44.
