A greener Germany 12:25pm on 22 May 2009 I remember Freiburg well! Especially the Bächle, the small streams running down the side of main roads in the city centre, which have a cooling effect, we could use this device in some of our larger cities too! The only trouble is that they're just wide enough for cars to drive into!
My other memory is of the statue of the monk who "invented" gun-powder (for the West that is, it already existed in China) and the surprised expression on his face.
But, like London, the traffic roars around the ring road and there is always a queue if you want to escape to the Black Forest nearby.
The whole tooth 12:04pm on 06 Oct 2008 It is the small things like this "Memory Cushion" that bring such comfort to bereaved youngsters. My friends knit "trauma teddies" for firefighters to give out to youngsters whose favourite soft toys have been lost in a house fire or a car accident. Small items, but given with much love and received with immense gratitude.
