Moving to Germany!

Ceasar salad w/ fresh anchovies

Frankfurt Airport the hubs and I had some delicious Italian food! 

Margharita Pizza

Pasta Carbonara w/ Fussili

Omgosh this was SO NOMMY!!!  It had the most delicious cream sauce and giant pieces of pancetta!


I found these adorable reusable shopping totes at the airport!! 

When I showed them to the hubs he said 'aww cute little sperm'

::SAD FACE:: 

WHY?!!



Our hotel room!  It was more like an efficiency suite since we weren't sure how long we would have to stay at a hotel because we weren't sure how apartment/house hunting was going to go for us.  It's a pretty awesome deal the room was very clean and it was only $49 Euro's a night which is about $60 USD.


Our crazy luggage!!



One of the most best things about moving to another country? 

Trying the SNACKS! bahahaha.


How adorable is this? 

 I showed it to the hubs and he said "awww cute little titties"

WHY DOES HE HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING FOR ME?!

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?





Germany is big on Doner Kebab's.  They're essentially their version of a Gyro's but they are like a BILLION times tastier and yummier than a gyro.  I think in our first week  here we ate like 5 of them.  To be totally honest I still have no idea what meat is in it. HAHAHAHA. scary right?  It tastes like chicken.. and pork.. maybe both? HAHAHAHA.




They have these tasty sandwiches everywhere.  There are like 4 of them on one street alone and probably 20+ of these shops scattered throughout our city.


They are also really big on gelato.  They have a ton of gelatorias scattered throughout the city and they have the most delicious geltao.  Ice cream does not even compare.. to be honest american gelato doesn't even compare.  If German gelato tastes this good I can't wait to try Italian geltao!!! haha.



Our local shoppin center.


Which has a giant drugstore/conveniance store in the basement.


And a grocery store!


Germany's verision of fast food.  They serve all sorts of seafood predominately fish. 

But they serve it in almost any form you can think of: fried, pickled, grilled, sushi.





Fish w/ champagne sauce & potatoes, Fried fish baguette sandwich, potato salad and brocooli gratin





There are also lots of cafe's scattered throughout the city and they are opened super late and you can order beer and drink outside!!  It's very neat but I still find it surprising that you can go to a cafe and order Coffee or order Beer heheheh.



They also have the most delicious cupcakes!  I've noticed that the sweets in Germany are a lot less sweet than compared with the US.  I actually prefer the Germany sweets they're similar to how Asian sweets taste. 

More Germany posts soon!! :)

  9. I LOVE eating snacks from other countries! I stock up on so many of them and then get disappointed later, but it's all part of the fun. There are these German peanut curls that are sooooo delicious and addicting. If you ever find them (I forget the name), stock up on some because they are ffffffaaaaaannnttttaaasssttticccc!
    Your husband's "sperm" comment made me laugh!

  26. Haven't commented in a while, just wanted to say thanks for sharing all the pics of your new home. My sis moved to the Netherlands about 10 years ago, and I know a big move like this can be very stressful, but you have your wonderful man to team up with! Enjoy your new city, I have visited Germany a few times, and it's true what they say, the Germans are super punctual and polite. Try to get out to the country a bit. The Rheinland (about 200km north of Frankfurt) has some beautiful towns, such as St. Goar and St. Goarhausen. Oh, and the plain but hearty food! You're going to have so much fun!

  30. The drugstores here in Germany are at each corners of a city and the one on your photo shows my favourite one ;)
    The Doner Kebab is from Turkey and almost all German and Turks are eating it.
    It´s mostly out of beef.
    I hope you enjoy your time here.
    And you realy have to try Kinder Riegel :)

  31. I always prefer to stay at Motel 1 as well, they are effing awesome and super affordable, so it leaves room for other expenses like lots of food and shopping hehehee!
    Kinder happy hippo is the best! I'm an addict :D

  32. Oh about the Thai places, yes the best Thai I ever had was in Germany. Also amazing Vietnamese and Korean food. Soooo good and fresh and for a fraction of the the price one van find in let's say Paris (also famous for the good asian restaurants)

    Looks like you had a very good time!

  33. omg, Kebab's....yum! I love those things. I don't think I appreciated them enough when I lived in Germany. Enjoy your time there, it's beautiful and there is SO much to do/see.
