Blogging the Time Zone

Since I arrived here in Gummersbach City a couple of days ago, my blogging time has changed a bit as there’s a 7 hour difference between here and the Philippines.

So I’m writing this post at 7AM here but the sky is still dark outside and it doesn’t get any sun until 8:30 or so. Here’s a pic of my work table.

Took a panoramic shot out the window yesterday from my 7th floor room. Click on the thumbnail to see larger view. Walked downtown yesterday and the place was deserted.

They say Sunday is a mandatory rest day and no one’s allowed to work or man the stores.

Really small quite city with a population of about 54,000.

Here’s a photo of the Theodor-Heuss-Akademie on the top side of the hill where we’re housed. First time I saw the sun since I first came here last year — it’s still chilly at around 6 degrees.

The wifi in the building has now reached the upper floor rooms so I’m glad to get some blogging time in the evening and early mornings.

I haven’t been to a remote town in Germany. Gummersbach City looks like the US county that I am in right now – quiet, which is actually good for blogging.

There are more than 1T breweries in Germany. How’s the beer tasting Yuga? :-)

That’s my favorite alarm clock. I always bring it on a trip.

Great alarm clock! It’s comforting to know that you still have something analog despite your high tech persona. Or does it come with your room?
