Neukirchen is a peaceful town located at the outskirts of Chemnitz, a close neighbor of Freiberg. With it's dreamy landscape and friendly people, I felt so lucky to have started here and to have found a reason to keep visiting.

Tips and Strategies to Pass the Einbürgerungstest or Naturalization Test in Germany I recently took the Einbürgerungstest or Naturalization Test in Germany last Sept 5, 2024 and got 33 out of 33 questions or 100%. If you are interested in getting similar results I will share to you some Tips and Strategies that I used in this blog post. I took the test as part of the requirements listed by the Bürgerburo or Citzens Office of the Landratsamt or District Office in Freiberg. In order to make this blog post easy to follow,  I divided it into 3 Parts: Registration, Preparation, and Examination. Registration I went to the nearest Volkhochschule and made an examination appointment. The officer will ask for your eAT/Ausweiß or Residence Permit and a €27 fee.

My initial schedule on August was cancelled due to unavailability of the examination procter. I was informed of this throu...

Christmas in Sachsen

How did we celebrate Christmas in Sachsen? It started on 24th of December by lighting up the 4th Candle for the 4th Sunday or Advent.         4 Candles for Advent Photo taken Dec 24, 2023 The day before, the 23rd, we tried to visit Moritzburg and the garden but the snow proved to be too strong.

Freiberg Rainy Get Together

Who went to Freiberg Christmas Market last Thursday? We did. Who saw the fallen Christmas Decorations? A lot of Glühwein fans did. It started with drizzles followed by full blown heavy showers. No wonder the poor small christmas decorations went bonkers.        Freiberg Christmas Market taken Dec. 21, 2023 Did it stop us? Oh no. We're not made of sugar. No amount of rain could melt our plans. As long as it's not flooding. I'm sorry to hear about what happened to Bremen recently. We did wait for the rain to wane though before heading out from our cozy Christmas Hut.          Freiberg Christmas Market taken Dec. 21, 2023 We made a small tour then took a stopover at a Wein Hut. I went to a nearby Sparkasse ATM. Oh yes. There's an Automat or ATM Machine direct at the Christmas Market. Isn't that convenient?  Rain was on full blast again so we went to DM to warm up and grab some shopping essentials. We then spent the r...
