Taekwon-Do Seminar

On Saturday, the Taekwon-Do Center Saarland had a seminar for all Taekwon-Do students. Our grandmaster, Son Jong-Ho (7th Dan) was present and taught us some of his martial art techniques.
This is a picture from an examination of a student to go for the red belt (yippie - all students passed their exams on this day).

Rainy Evening

Loooots of rain again in Saarbrücken, and it seems like the snow is approaching us soon.
Luckily I stood under a protecting roof taking this picture... if you would just have walked three steps you would have been soaked. =)

Casino Restaurant

So sorry I couldn't post pictures for the past week, we had a conference at work, and I was involved in preparations and organisation.
On Thursday, we went to the Casino Restaurant am Staden for our conference dinner, a wonderful restaurant serving excellent food. This is the sign above their main entrance.

Most Graffiti in a German Train Station

Vird went on another excursion in Saarbrücken. This time, he went to the Saarbrücken East train station that is probably the most sprayed train station of Germany. All the walls are full of graffiti...

Yellow Bag Lorry

Stood behind this lorry at the traffic lights today. It's one of the lorries that collects the yellow bags containing our plastic recycling garbage.
The two bags hanging on the bag of the car contained reusable bottles that people accidentally threw in the recycling garbage even though they could get a refund of 15 Cents per bottle in the shops. Guess the guys driving the lorry will have a nice tip at the end of every day that way...
