PRE-TEEN AWARENESS
Ah, the life of a pre-teen. And he had no idea why I was taking his photograph while leaning there.
STANDARD GOVT ISSUED STAIRWELL
One of the options we were given for housing when we arrived in Deutschland was the standard government owned off post multi-story design house with the spiral child wiping out staircase. On the face of it, it’s kind of blah, like many of the features in the...
