I like the news sector best, such as the Irish Emigrant News. There's nothing like a bit of local touch.

How products are made
Have you ever wondered how, let's say, dishwashers, mirrors, tunnels, revolvers, electric guitars, soy milk, vegetarian burgers, footballs, compact discs, dental floss is/are made?
madehow tells you all about the history and the manifacturing process.
Maybe Rudy here reflects on the makings of cat litter or mousetraps (which you'll also find there).

German for football fans
The Goethe-Institut in London offers a series of German for football fans workshops, which combine both football and German to prepare people to get the most out of World Cup 2006.
They teach not only technical stuff, such as "Abseits" or "Elfmeter", but also how to get along in Germany ...
Here you can see some pictures of the students
Rumour has it that the first perfectly pronounced word had been "beer".

Frozen alpine lake in the evening
The big lake has big ice: about 26 centimetres, that's around 10 inches.

London, February 09 – 11, 2006
I loved/liked/appreciated:
The sunrise during our early arrival; the concert/show of Belle & Sebastian in the Apollo/Hammersmith, especially that they played my favourite “Fox in the Snow”; Foyle’s and most of the many other bookshops we frequented; a nice glass of cider; seeing the Turners and Constables in the National Gallery again – after so many years; that we found the wallet again we had lost among thousands of people in a concert hall; meeting my niece Kathy who’s living in London; a surprisingly good and pleasant meal in a Pizza Hut;the weather; the Victoria embankment gardens;being able to listen to the English language all day long; a shop assistant with a connection to Austria;that I lost three kilos; sitting with my companion in the sunny Cake House in St. James’s park and sipping real hot tea; that we finally made it into the airplane one minute before rolling off ....., and much more.
I hated/didn’t relish:
the pricey cab to Stansted airport (£ 99.-) (which we had to take because the Standsted express didn’t work and some parts of the tube either); the shabby, tiny and not particularly clean hotel room; not being able to understand all the Englishes; the brazen fees for the luggage room in the same hotel; the barely discernible food and the saucy prices in some Deep Pan restaurant, and much more ...
