I am honest. We did not want to go to Hamburg. We wanted to go to the North Sea but when planning the journey it turned out that a flight to Hamburg and an onward journey by train would be the ideal travel route.Read More »
Hamburg – eine Stadt für Gross und Klein
Ich bin ehrlich. Wir wollten nicht nach Hamburg. Wir wollten an die Nordsee, aber bei der Planung der Reise hat sich gezeigt, dass ein Flug nach Hamburg und die Weiterreise mit dem Zug die optimale Reiseroute ist.

Alma and the law which does not tolerate any exceptions
Alma had achieved a lot of which others can only dream of. A career in a medium sized company up to the management and this as the only woman. An intact, functioning family with a diligent husband in a similar job position as she had. An unproblematic child, which brought home good marks, behaved itself and hardly ever gave reason to be angry.Read More »
Alma und das Gesetz, das keine Ausnahmen toleriert
Alma hat Vieles erreicht, wovon andere nur träumen könnten. Eine Karriere in einem mittelgrossen Betrieb bis in die Geschäftsleitung und das als einzige Frau. Eine intakte, funktionierende Familie mit fleissigem Ehemann in einer ähnlichen beruflichen Stellung wie sie. Ein unproblematisches Kind, das gute Noten nach Hause brachte, sich anständig benahm und selten Anlass zu Ärger gab. Read More »
