How I Finally Defogged my Seiko Diver
To finally follow-up on my article, The Freezer Might Have Unfogged My Seiko 6309-7040 Diver, I found a solution: I opened up my watch — unscrewed the crown and pulled it out — and placed the watch into a bag of uncooked dry rice over night and that did the trick, knock on wood.

Celebrating Christmas at the Train Station

I go to Berlin Hauptbahnhof almost every day. Bahnhof is German for train station and Hauptbahnhof is German for the main train station. Every city has one. DC’s Hauptbahnhof is Union Station, for example, and in many ways comparable.
The Berlin Hauptbahnhof houses my local coffee shop, my local grocery story, etc. To be honest, [...]
