Anneliese Friese: Buying a Cuckoo Clock
  • Tip Rating:
  • Name of Shop: Anneliese Friese

    Mission number one when it came to shopping was to get ourselves an authentic Cuckoo Clock since we were quite close to the black forest. An ovject of this nature would be a constant reminder with every "koo-koo" of the bird. The selection process was quite hard in that I didn't know what I was exactly looking for. The owners of the store were very helpful, all spoke fluent english and thouroughly explained the different styles. We ended up with a classic HUNTER STYLE. Since most people purchasing are tourist's, they will ship to your home so you don't have to hand carry this fragile piece.

    What To Buy: Cuckoo Clocks and Beer Steins

    What To Pay: For the clock 200$ plus....

  • Our first day Yuki and I walked into this store to find a map of the town. The woman kindly handed us one from behind the counter. We were on the Cuckoo Clock hunt on day two and ended up back in the same confines. Upon entering, the woman came over to us and sat staring at Yuki as our eyes were pasted on the swinging pendulums of the clocks.

    "You a beauty" the woman said, as she stood lock eyed on Yuki.
    "You were here yesterday" she finished.

    With all the people that must drop in she remembered us. She was so sweet. She autographed a map and gave it to us and than gave us a replica of our clock in the magnet form (pictured) to, as she put it, "show your friends".

    Anneliese Friese: The Beer Stein
  • Tip Rating:
  • Name of Shop: Anneliese Friese

    I friggin love beer. As a child a sip would sicken me. Grandpa would let me take a swig of the Schlitz and the repulsiveness of taste made me vow "I will never drink beer" This will be overturned to my mothers dismay. I also thought girls were icky, Uncle Ricky's Kiss Posters were scarey and the White Kidnapping Van was coming to get me. As my thoughts evolved as did my tastebuds. I am quite proud of what they now accept. From beating fish hearts, to fried frog legs, they now know what taste is about. The distaste in Schlitz still stands bold, but for reasons of bad brewing not for the single reason that it was BEER.

    What To Buy: NYC has the BIG APPLE as its identity symbol. Germany should have a BEER STEIN as it's symbol.

    What To Pay: 66 euros..it says it right there.

     schneeballs - strips of shoe leather tenderized and covered with most anything to mask the leaden sensation in one's stomach following ingestion. N.

     whew is my headsize beer man! I friggin love beer. As a child a sip would make me sleep. Daddy would let me take a sip of his red wine and the taste made me shout "I want more, one glass" This will be overturned to my mothers dismay.

     I believe they are called, "schneeballs".
