Cultural and Regional Links

This page contains a few cultural links. Here culture is interpreted in a very broad sense, ranging from Sesame Street to Innovative Writing. I will add more regional links when I find the time.

Local Interest

Englefield Green according to the village residents' association.
Egham Community Website.
travelline. Public transport information .
The Royal Landscape. Windsor Park etc.
Kew. Royal Botanic Gardens, with a very nice playground.

Arts

Lebendiges virtuelles Museum. I found this thanks to Sartre. Inside you can learn a lot about German History, from the Kaiserreich to the present day.
Nobel Prizes. This is the literature prize subpage.
Great Books Online. They aim to provide "the intellectually curious with unlimited access to books and information". Wow! I found them while looking for poems by Gertrud Stein.
Latin Dictionary and Grammar Aid. Speaks for itself. Here I learned that the plural of limes superior is limites superiores.

Sciences

Stargazer. Here you can check out the night sky, even if it is cloudy.
Sky at a Glance. A weekly overview, courtesy of Sky and Telescope.

Across the Media

Tagesschau. News news news. If it does not work, the BBC or CNN will have to do.
Deutsche Welle. Programs, frequencies, etc.
Die Zeit. My favourite newspaper, although I hardly ever have time to read it...

And Purely for Fun

Die Seite mit der Maus. Maus, Elefant, Ente, etc.
Sesame Street. Among the games you find the famous Tickle Me Elmo.
Reversi. I really like this game! And somebody else is collecting a lot of information about it.
