So what?

I didn’t blog for a looong time. So what?
This blog experienced the longest downtime ever. So what?
I was busier collecting experiences than writing about them.

So so what?
I’m still a rock star

But now I have to quickly resume what happened so far

Before Xmas I visited a couple of other markets, like the one at the Kulturbrauerei in P’berg: it featured products from the northernmost European countries. A typical Finnish product seems to be bear meat… I couldn’t resist and I tasted it. Salty and nothing really special, to be honest. I prefer other kinds of bears

During Xmas time I visited my parents in Italy. It was rather boring and… loud, because of my niece I had time for a short trip to Milan too (the main train station has been completely renovated) and I had the usual lunch with the Grisas just before I flew back to Berlin.

Back home I had a very busy time with many guests: the usual Frank met Jörg and James first and Krijn and JW later. We could have opened a small Dutch embassy I’d really love to thank them for the nice time we had together. The new bear’s eve party was rather boring, however with them, Maurice, Ollie and Andreas, it was fun.

On January first Frank, James and Jörg had unfortunately to leave, but ilGrisa landed from Milan. On the next day we rented a car and we drove to Krakow for the weekend. We were freezing But it was nice to be there again, after 6 years.

Back in Berlin I found Christian very sick and I spet most of my holiday time with ilGrisa strolling around the city. We visited interesting spots like Südgelände and the Berlinische Galerie with an interesting exhibition about panoramic photos of Berlin after WWII. We also watched a couple of movies (both on DVD an in theater): I’d really like to recommend Vicky Christina Barcelona and Die Welle.

Since yesterday evening the flat is rather empty again and today I went back to work… It’s 2009.
