Do Hamburgers eat hamburgers?
Last week, I taught 5 Thanksgiving lessons. Meaning, I taught the same lesson five times. Three times on Tuesday, each class back-to-back. That was a little surreal. All of my classes thought Americans give gifts on Thanksgiving, which I find … Continue reading

Vegans in Greifswald
Last Monday, I ate a lot of vegetarians. Excuse me, I mean, I ate with a lot of vegetarians. And one other vegan. We went to Taj Mahal, a restaurant which promotes itself as being an Indian/Italian restaurant, but is … Continue reading
