Naja, nicht wirklich viel Schnee :-(
Winter in Berlin
Berlin, Berlin
Arrived, safe and sound and tired and with batteries exhausted as me :-)
Departing on Swiss …
… to Berlin. Boston was great, but … I want to buy my beer anytime, anywhere :-)
Heading home …
… although not for Christmas :-)

A summary on what I did eat while in Boston :-)
Verpuppt
Gut, zur eigenen Yacht hat’s noch nicht gereicht, vielleicht ist es deshalb für mich so überraschend, daß hier in Boston die Boote in Plastikfolie für den Winter eingepackt werden.
Facts
As I said yesterday, b-good’s burger is exactly my taste; too bad one doesn’t get this in Germany …
On The Freedom Trail
Was dem Berliner seine Mauer ist dem Bostoner sein Freedom Trail. Schön auf den Wegen markiert, damit man nix verpaßt …
AT&T doesn’t like tourists
Yesterday I tried to get a Prepaid-SIM for during my stay in the US. Checked at AT&T, as I already have a T-Mobile-SIM from my company and UMTS-type coverage really does differ over here. But, well, they offered to buy a 3G-only Android, as for prepaid HSPA and above were not allowed, and on top of that useless phone for USD 150 I’d need a plan starting somewhere at USD 30 for some meager MB/month …
Went to T-Mobile afterwards, paid USD for the SIM and put 5 times 3 dollars onto it: USD 3 per day gives you some hundred MB/day on 4G speeds, unlimited texts (that’s the local word for SMS :-)) and (domestic) calls — ideal for a short trip like mine …
