FOR SOME REASON ITS SOOO MUCH FUNNIER IN GERMAN! LOL

uuwuuuuh LOL You sound surprised my dear MTS? lol =-0)

Great photo but such a sad tale! =-0(

Very Nice!

I like self check out. Its faster and easier, atleast it has been when I go to the Krogers in Circleville.

Well my issue is this. I'm taking a math class at OSU main campus, which I need to graduate (I failed the same class last semester). I wanted to take German because I love all things German and also so I would be able to keep my financial aid. But my advisor in Urban said I would have to take it at a 4 yr school and not CSCC because I'm a senior. Unfortunately, OSU only offers Ger 102 at this point, the same as CSU. Right now I'm doing a self taught sort of thing with books and CDs. Hopefully it helps!

Ummm, well, I've gotten in trouble here a few times! LOL And there was one time were I voluntarily left because I was annoyed with the way something was handled. But after cooling off, I returned, much to the dismay of a few people on here I'm sure! :lol:

If you lived in Cincinnati, you wouldn't even have to look that up. Ummm ok, thanks. But thats doesn't do me any good here in Columbus. LOL If you known of anyone in the future, let me know! Thanks,

The Removal of the Palast der Republik The Humboldt Forum The Humboldt Forum is envisaged as an international forum of art, culture and science to be built on the grounds of the former Berlin City Palace. The Forum will lie directly across from the Museum Island - which already features many outstanding collections of European art - and is designed to inspire a fruitful dialogue among the cultures of the world. Some of Berlin's most important museums, libraries and research institutions will join forces at the Humboldt Forum: for example, the National Museums in Berlin will present unique artistic and cultural artefacts from Africa, Asia, America and Oceania; the Central and Regional Library of Berlin will feature countless books and multi-media items; and Humboldt University will exhibit its prominent collection of scientific research in the form of a "Schaufenster der Wissenschaft" (Showcase of the Sciences). The Humboldt Forum's guiding principle is an equal exchange among world cultures. The Forum will unite Wilhelm von Humboldt's humanistic model with Alexander von Humboldt's ideal of all-encompassing knowledge. On the grounds of the former Palace, at the very centre of historic Berlin, a new, universal approach to the world's civilizations will emerge. This is the vision of the Humboldt Forum. The Humboldt Forum is designed to act as a site of information, education and meaningful cultural encounters for both Berliners and visitors. At its very core is a fascinating selection of exhibitions, lectures, theatres, film, music and dance. http://www.stadtentwicklung.berlin.de/bauen/palast_rueckbau/en/humboldtforum.shtml http://www.deutsches-architektur-forum.de/forum/index.php

They are calling it the Humbolt Forum and I think its going to have things like a conference center, meeting space, cultural facilities and so on. Its going to serve in a role similar to the Palast, minus the Parliament!

Here ya go

They are rebuilding three of the four sides and adding alot of "Modern" crap to it, mostly in the rear and courtyards of the building. This thing will as about as authentic as the Disney castle by the time they are done! I'll look for a pic to show you!

Johannesburg?

Love this song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szXoV3r5sVQ

The Berliner Stadtschloss in all of its glory!

Okay, I have a question. Does anybody know where in Columbus you could find German tutors or German classes that are reasonably priced? I wanted to take Ger 101 at CSCC but CSU wouldn't allow it because its a 2 yr college. =-0( Any help is much appreciated!

Don't forget it was a HUGE health hazard because of all the asbestos inside it! Thats part of the reason it took SO long to demolish. LOL, A building hopelessly contaminated! Its a fitting representation of the DDR as a whole I think!

Wow, very interesting!

I think its fitting considering its surroundings! And lets face it, its a great way to forget decades of socialism the subjugation of the German people by the Soviet Union! The Palast Der Republik, was not a palace, not was it a worthy symbol of ANY German Republic. The DDR was a puppet state, subservant to the will of Moscow and the communist party. The sooner the REAL Palace is rebuilt (Not this modern crap that they are calling the Berliner Stadtschloss), the better! As some already know, my Major at CSU is historic preservation. If I had my way, the commie blocks around the Alex would suffer the same fate as the Palast and the former Foreign Ministry, which was demolished and will be replaced with a replica of the beautiful Bauakamie (School of Architecture) which was built in Werderscher Markt by Karl Friedrich Schinkel!

Love it! Pittsburgh is such a cool city!

Ding ding ding...... We have a winner! It is Breslau! How did you guess? Its Your turn! HAHA, funny story. I've had that church on my mind since you posted it a week ago because it's somewhat unique and iconic. Well, last night I was down at my mother's house having a Mediterranean feast in honor of her return from a four month sailing expedition of the Med Sea including a month in Romania (My mother's fiancée's daughter-in-law lives in Bucharest) where they took mini-vacations all over Eastern Europe. So, we were looking over pictures of their trip last night and the Wrocław Cathedral showed up in a pic. I instantly got excited and found out all I could. But when I tried to explain that I needed to know for a thread on UrbanOhio.com I instantly lost everyone. Anyway, my photos are on my external at home. I won't be back until this afternoon, so I'll post the new pick sometime tonight. Very Cool! I've always wanted to see Hungery, Romania, Bulgaria, and other parts of the central and southeastern Europe!

Ding ding ding...... We have a winner! It is Breslau! How did you guess? Its Your turn!

You guys are all so close! lol Again, I will accept both names this time as well!

But what are your opinions about the projects? As I stated before, I hate the "neu alte Berliner Stadtschloss". I'm also not crazy about the partial demolishion of the Stuttgart Bahnhof. I do like the project in Hamberg though.....well somewhat. P.S. Forgive my German, is I did not correctly spell something, I'm still learning!

Yeah, as long as your east of US 1! lol
