Secret Agent Hoff

Once again the Hoff has outdone himself with this cover of Secret Agent Man. This video has convinced me that Mr. Hoff would be great as 007 if the new blonde James Bond doesn't work out.


At last, I have found a helpful list to help me with my number one goal since hearing that he is getting divorced! I think I have a real good chance....

London Calling

There's nothing like being poked awake by a baguette at the ungodly hour of 11:30am on a Saturday! I thought Party Hilda would sleep in but apparently her sleeping habits have changed along with her alcohol tolerance. I suppose there are worse things than being jabbed awake by fresh bread.

London in the summer is pretty much the same as London in the spring.... cold. It is pretty though. I've spent my first week lazing about and walking but all that will change. Oh yes, Aisha would be proud. I am going to get my act together and actually look into leaving Europe!

Here are some more pictures of Berlin. I love that city. I can't wait for Aisha to move back there so I can move into her basement....

The wall.
A giant fussball.
Daniele boozing it up at the beach bar.
My favourite Czech dish, Langosh. Deep fried dough topped with garlic, cheese and ketchup. Yum!

Goodbye Industrial Romantic Berlin!

That hottie (Vladimir Malakhov) would be the next Barishnikov. Remember him? Carrie's male companion on Sex & the City? Yup. We are talking ballerina extraordinaire...uhm, or whatever the male version of that would be. Unfortunately Vladimir went on a break in May and we got to see his German replacement dance his little heart out in Tchaikovsky at the State Opera.

There are a few things that you will never run out of in Berlin. Despite all reports to the contrary in the media there is no shortage of beer. Cool bars are also represented well. For all those who want to do more than drink and walk and drink in Berlin there are a hundred different theatre productions a day to choose from. I went to see Brecht's Mother Courage for five bucks and Beckett's Happy Days for ten. Awesome seats and some great productions.

I can't believe my time here is already up. I will miss this city, the Corona bus, the beach bars and my sister. It has been fun and very relaxing indeed.

London is next on the agenda. I imagine that computer access will be non-existent thanks to the English pound.

Look what I got in my email

This was sitting in my inbox today:

"how are you?. i hope you are doing well!. did you get your visa to come to Iran?. i hope you are doing well. regards, Hassan"

I really want to go! Getting a visa seems to be a difficult process because it takes three weeks for the consulate to issue one. Also, my budget is much better suited for cheap Southeast Asian countries. Something inside of me does not want to give up on this Iran thing though.... We'll see what happens in the next few weeks.
