Remscheid, Germany - 27th October 2008
By: olgamaus
Hello David,
I arrived in Remscheid today. My first host's son had to sign something when the postman brought me in my envelope. He was not able to read where the signature had to be made because noone speaks slowenian here.
Everything is fine here, I met a lot of ToyVoyagers:, a mole, a monkey, something like E.T., a cheeky white bunny, a duck with giant feet, a chipmunk and a bee.
Bye for today

Remscheid, Germany - 29th October 2008
By: olgamaus
Hi David,
today we took a walk along the "Route of Tools", a lane for pedestrians and cyclers which was built on a closed railway track.
But before let me show you where I live at the moment. i live in this street in one of those nice old houses, in the attic storey.
Close to my current home you can find this large intersection. The large building is the local court. Katja told me that there is the coat of arms of the German state Northrhine-Westphalia above the entrance, in an abstract, fifties style.
We then walked downhill to reach the route of tools.
Many of the old houses have door knockers in the shape of a lion.
Now I will show you the famous "Ampelmaennchen" (the little lamp man of the old East German crossing signal) In the former German Democratic Republic they had these lamp men, they attained cult status. By the way, this is the only traffic lamp in Remscheid showing the GDR "Ampelmaennchen".
We reached the route of tools then. Here some metal signs are installed, showing the crest of Remscheid and the company logos of some tool producing companies. This lane was sponsered by local tool fabricants.
You can find distance data on the ground.
We rested on a bench that was made of a giant screw clamp.
I found another sign showing the NRW's coat of arms, it is fixed to houses which are under monument protection.
Later we took a short walk through the forrest, it was already getting dark so we did not make many photos then. Here you can see the sign for a landscape conservation area.
Bye for today

Remscheid, town hall, Germany - 30th October 2008
By: olgamaus
Hi David,
today I found the perfect sign showing the NRW's coat of arms. It is located at the main entrance of the town hall.
The word "Denkmal" on top of it means that this building is under monument protection.
Bye

Remscheid, Germany - 22nd November 2008
By: olgamaus
Hi David,
yesterday it started snowing. We had a bad storm yesterday which destroyed some of the booths on the christmas market. Now the whole space in front of the town hall is roped in by the police.
We had a look out of the kitchen window in the morning. It's looking good outside.I hope we will go out later. I'm the only TV which is wearing shoes so I propably will be the only TV with warm and dry feet.
When Katja went shopping yesterday she picked up a letter from the post office. SaruMaru, a monkey from Florida, arrived.
Bye

Hi David,
the snow is melting already and we have fog and drizzle now. It's really nasty outside. We only took one photo to show you that it is better to stay in a warm and dry place.
Bye
