Has anyone else noticed how the weather can be doggedly miserable throughout your trip, only to serve up a day of perfection on the day you leave? Up at 6am, it was still dark and gloomy outside when I headed downstairs for breakfast. By the time I had finished devouring helping upon helping of Wurst (sausage) and croissants, it had turned into a warm and sunny Sunday morning. The weather was, in fact, so pleasant, that I confidently stuffed my jacket, and umbrella into my suitcase.
Germany is probably one of the only countries in the world where you could make the 30km trip from the city centre to airport in 15 minutes! It’s also the only country where you would feel totally calm and relaxed with the cab driver keeping one hand on the wheel, and sipping steaming-hot coffee from the uncovered platic cup in his other hand, all while travelling at 180km/h… in traffic! I kid you not. Oh, and let’s not forget to mention that not unlike many of the other taxi cabs, his car was a new Mercedes E-Class.
The indescribable joy of returning to a cold (3C), rainy Bucharest was mitigated only by the realization and regret of having packed away my jacket, and umbrella.
all that talk of sausages and croissants is making me hungry..

Modern science disclaims any intention of understanding the hidden nature of things; its philosophy condemns any such endeavour as vague, misleading and altogether unscientific.…But I refuse to heed this warning. I agree that the process of understanding leads beyond - indeed far beyond - what a strict empiricism regards as the domain of legitimate knowledge; but I reject such an empiricism. If consistently applied, it would discredit any knowledge whatever and it can be upheld only by allowing it to remain inconsistent. It is permitted this inconsistency because its ruthless mutilation of human experience lends it such a high reputation for scientific severity, that its prestige overrides the defensiveness of its own foundations. Our acknowledgement of understanding as a valid form of knowing will go a long way towards liberating our minds from this violent and inefficient despotism. by online casino
