Recently i gained the opportunity to write for a printed Magazine for Americans in Germany, that is ran for the Stuttgart area.<\/p>\n<p>If your a newcomer or even if you have been here for a bit this page may be for you.<\/p>\n<p>There is just so much information out there\u2026 I thought it would be a great idea to put it all down in writing.<\/p>\n<p>So, here it is. If you are looking for a site that will tell you about Cuckoo clocks and Dirndls this would not be the site for you. Why? Well, because most of us Germans do not own a Cuckoo clock or a vast collection of beer steins.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you need help on store\u2019s opening hours, what trash bin the yogurt cup goes in or where to go for the weekend, you have come to the right place.<\/p>\n<p>I really do try to do my very best  to sit down and write when ever I get a chance<br \/>\nand add information, but:<\/p>\n<p>I am a part time working mom of 2, English is not my maiden language either; people that know me personally, also know I tend to a little Zoo of my own at home.<br \/>\nI have 2 beautiful teenage daughters, one of them is chronically ill. And my hubby does like to see and spend time with me every once and a while too\u2026. so time is limited<\/p>\n<p>I am always happy about constructive criticism, I love it, when people send me things to add to the page.<\/p>\n<p>please keep that in mind when you find spelling mistakes or there is something missing on the page.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully my volunteer work is helping someone out there<\/p>\n<p>Aalia Winter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The living in Germany page and the corresponding face book page, started out being something like a hobby about 5 years ago.
