You plan to move to the Philippines? Wollen Sie auf den Philippinen leben?

There are REALLY TONS of websites telling us how, why, maybe why not and when you'll be able to move to the Philippines. I only love to tell and explain some things "between the lines". Enjoy reading, be informed, have fun and be entertained too!

Ja, es gibt tonnenweise Webseiten, die Ihnen sagen wie, warum, vielleicht warum nicht und wann Sie am besten auf die Philippinen auswandern könnten. Ich möchte Ihnen in Zukunft "zwischen den Zeilen" einige zusätzlichen Dinge berichten und erzählen. Viel Spass beim Lesen und Gute Unterhaltung!

German Oktoberfest in Davao City at Swiss Deli

It was the second "German" Oktoberfest in Davao City - and it has been really fun. A big thanks to Romano and Markus, proprietors of Swiss Deli for a very delicious buffet and lot of beer! Great taste - and very well trained staff - as always!
Thank you so much to Rolf from Manila (extreme left) - a very blessed accordeon musician with an incredible repertoire, and, of course, to MC Susie Rexrodt (second from right), GMA-TV host and my colleague in University of Southeastern Philippines (Institute of Languages). With us (among many others) have been also Ana "Tess" Bassilio (third from left), Society Editor and columnist of Mindanao Daily Mirror as well as Ana Felicia Dulay (extreme right), Editor of SunStar Davao... .


It has been a German Oktoberfest in Swiss Deli - but guests from several countries dropped by and joined us.

Oktoberfest and its history: It started with the Royal Wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen, on October 12, 1810. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy royal event. The fields have been named "Theresienwiese" (Theresa's Fields) in honor of the Crown Princess eversince, although the locals have since abbreviated the name simply to the 'Wies'n'!

Today the Oktoberfest is the largest festival in the world, with an international flavor characteristic of the 21st century: some 6 million visitors from all around the world converge on the Oktoberfest each year. And since the Oktoberfest is still held on the Theresienwiese, the locals still refer to the event simply as the "Wies'n"!

Welcome to the next Oktoberfest! Here in Davao City or in Munich/Germany! Or in Manila! I just accepted an invitation for Manila.

Beer, chicken, pork sausages, pork knuckles - and a lot of fun!
