An about Cologne photos telling post

11 September 2008

The Germans, they talk a lot in terms of their impressions. Nice impressions, bad impressions, too many impressions to deal with. They also talk a lot about their circulation, but that’s by the by. With the translating I do (and my head being some kind of idiot sponge) I have a habit of absorbing German words, phrasing and so on nowadays, putting them in place of the English I should actually be using. I tend to talk about “making” photos now. Starting letters in lower case after “Dear So-and-so,” comes more naturally to me and then I have to resist the urge to sign off emails to friends with “LG” (liebe Grüße).

So please, enjoy these impressions of Cologne. I’m going to poke my veins and see if my circulation is still … circulating.

Yes…Cologne is quite a lovely city I recall. I also was very fond of Munich. And I totally agree with you about German words sticking to the cerebellum. I can still quote chunks out of the book we had in Primary 5…. Sprich Mal Deutsche it was called – and I always thought that meant…Speak Shite German….
Apparently not…..
