Interesting. Most of the food shown isn't typical though. Especially the breakfast at the top of the first article. I think I don't know a single German who would eat bacon & omlette & sausages & strange white bread for breakfast.

Yes, this food is rather "fast food". It's as if I'd say that a McDonalds or Burger King or otherwise "Burger" would be regarded as "a typical american meal".

Regarding this picture . http://static.gamer.no/images/9/911/…184x3456.f.JPG
It is made on the brisdge connecting the Cathedral/Main Railway Station with the trade fair area and crosses the river Rhine (Rhein, in German language).
I have read that these locks are meant to strengthen or to "lock" the love or marriage between of a couple, and that this is "imported" from Italy.
This is what I've read about it. I have no proof for it.

Besides, the local newspaper, the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger" www.ksta.de has a few articles in today's issue.

One commentator criticises the overcrowding of the area - he writes that the "Kölner Messe" (the company to which the trade fair area belöongs and which is responsible for the fair schedules) needs to use more halls in the future - simply because there were too many people who wanted to go in.

Another commentator wrote a few days ago that visitors were cursing traffic jams, because they had to wait - but had no problem waiting for hours in "traffic jams" - read : queues - at the Games Com, in front of popular booths.

Edit : The THQ Newsletter I just received says that there'll be a warhammer space marine demo out tomorrow (August 23rd, that is).

The demo has been available for a bit as an early preview for those who pre-ordered it. From what I understand, it's pretty action oriented for a 'strategy' game so I'm not sure it would be your cup of tea.

I see. I'll take a look at it nevertheless (if it isn't too big), because I just wanted to take a glimpse at that universe.

An article from one of dtp (German language, with several photos) : http://forum.dtp-entertainment.com/v…hp?f=4&t=19222

Most impressive is - for me - the number of people standing already at the entrance …
