Hey Mom,
today we found a colorful envelope at hour hosts home.
We opened it carefully and saw something red inside. We were a little bit afraid.
It was Crawfish in the envelope. She came the long way from the US. And she had something sweet to eat for us.
Yours,
Greeny

Halle/Saale, Germany - 12th December 2011
By: MA_17
Hey Mum,
today we had to say goodbye to Beate, Chrissy and Tapsi.
We went to Halle today. It is the largest city in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. It is also called Halle an der Saale (literally Halle on the Saale river, and in some historic references simply Saale after the river) in order to distinguish it from the town of Halle in North Rhine-Westphalia. The current official name of the city is Halle (Saale). The University of Halle was founded here in 1694. The famous Baroque composer George Friderich Handel was born in Halle in 1685.
This is the Technical Hallors and Saline Museum. It was founded in the buildings of the former Royal Prussian Saline, Halle upon Saale in 1967. Hallors had been members of a brotherhood of salt producers .
Here you can see me in front of the main radio studio of MDR .
This is the "Marktkirche Unser Lieben Frauen" (Market Church of Our Dear Lady), also known as St. Mary's Church and Market Church. It was built between 1529 and 1554. Its four towers, together with the Red Tower of the city hall, make Halle the city of five towers. In German, its official name is shortened to Liebfrauenkirche and it is also referred to as Marienkirche and Marktkirche. It is the church where George Frideric Handel was baptized and received his first organ lessons, where Johann Sebastian Bach inspected the new organ, and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach was an organist.
I also went to a the Christmas market. It smelled sweet everywhere and I finally got the feeling of Christmas.
In the evening we met some lovely animals!
A turtle named Ines, a hamster without a name and 5 lovely budgies.
I'm really tired now.
Yours
Greeny

Oranienbaum, Germany - 14th December 2011
By: MA_17
Hey Mum,
today we went to Oranienbaum and visited the area around the castle. At the moment the castle is closed because of winter time and we couldn't go inside. But we saw the castle from outside and went to its gardens. The Gardens had its origin in the 17th century, when the marriage of Leopold's great-grandfather Prince John George II of Anhalt-Dessau to the Dutch princess Henriette Catharina, in 1659 brought a team of engineers and architects from the Low Countries to lay out the town, the palace and a Baroque garden in the former settlement of Nischwitz, which was renamed Oranienbaum in 1673. The Dutch influence remained prevalent in the Principality of Anhalt-Dessau for many decades.
Oranienbaum Palace was finished in 1683 as the summer residence of Henriette Catharina, where she retired after the death of her husband in 1693. From 1780 on Duke Leopold III had the palace and the park rebuilt in a Chinese style with several arch bridges, a tea house and a pagoda. In 1811, the orangery was built, with 175 m (574 ft) in length one of the largest in Europe, which still serves to protect a wide collection of citrus plants. It was too cold to go to the orangery!
Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau, inspected the restoration works on March 3, 2004.
This is the castle from the front (street view):
The castle from the backside (garden view):
The garden. I heard there are lots of palm trees in summer!
We walked to the Chinese pagoda...

Berlin, Germany - 19th December 2011

Hey Mum,
today I show you the difference between two Christmas trees in Berlin.
The first one is a "traffic tree" at Breitscheidplatz. It is made of waste, found in the streets of Berlin.
The second one is hanging in the Sony Center (Potsdamer Platz). It's full of bling bling.
Love,
Greeny
