Classic German department store chain. It's pretty basic and not very exciting (which I suppose…read morevery few department stores are really). You can definitely find bargains though. However the only thing I bought here was a second suitcase (in a very cute pink hue) so I could fit all the mymuesli-mueslis and tea I had bought. You know, the really important stuff in life. Friendly service.

Came here for one and only one thing: as many Ritter Sports as I could carry back to the US. Since…read moreevery Cost Plus in the US now carries it, my mission was to find flavors that I had not seen. Instead of naming all the previously unseen flavors, I just took pictures. Quite the bounty!

I usually don't shop in big department stores such as this but after arriving in Freiburg I quickly…read moreconceided that I definately needed a real winter coat like...Tomorrow! So my Boss drove me into town and being that I've never bought a winter coat before I decided to let me do the leading and followed him up to the thrid floor of this store. The selection here is much better then the other big department store in town (I think it starts with a K??) and after trying on many coats I found a gorgeous warm Jacket that doesn't make me look like a michillen man and has a great little furry hood that makes Germans come up to me in the street and ask if I'm an Eskimo :-) with my slitty eyes and black straight fringe (You'd think they'd never seen anyone of Asian background in this part of the country before...heh) I'm Happy and Warm and thats all I can ask for :)

I cannot resist walking into an H&M when one presents itself. You just never know what you're going…read moreto find. This time, great deals on summer t-shirts (10 Euros) and sweaters (24). Their fashions are always well-priced and they are starting to put out more "classic" pieces instead of just "of the moment", which is nice if you're not so big on fads. I'm reminded that maybe this is the way of the H&Ms in Europe where it really is a "one stop shop" for work and going-out clothes. Classic pieces are necessary for this setup. I will say that the check-out (upstairs, not the main floor) is one of the least zoo-like I've experienced.
