On a Sunday like this ... is it too late, a certain gravity of red wine makes me tell just now. Yes, I'm feeling better and I enjoy the last week in Madrid to the fullest. Yesterday I was invited Fabien (3rd photo) to a last supper. We were going in a very nice bar called El Jardin de secretos (Garden of Secrets) and there was a great cheese plate and a dream of chocolate for dessert. I was also with Jupiter (my tandem partner, see entry 15) in the MC Escher exhibition in which I wanted with my brother, Nils, but the snake was too long. The exhibition was really good: to see and it was classical music, which has somehow made all the more amusing. And then I have been working systematically from my travel guide to attractions such as the Don Quixote statue (1 photo) it sits next to the front Sancho Panza and behind both its creator Cervantes. In these walks I saw an actress of my favorite series Yo soy Bea (Verliebt in Berlin in spanish)! So even more attractions than planned! And while on Thursday in Cologne, the revelers Mädsche the men's ties have been cut off ( Alaaf! ) I went with Nadia Pilates. On the way back in the metro is a boy in elementary school was completely nuts, screaming horribly, cried and kicked the door. The mother had trouble to hold him and some men wanted to intervene, they would not. Apart from the fact that I no longer "read" in the rest Vogue was that Nadia had given me, it was all pretty depressing. Here, incidentally, is also Mardi Gras, which means forever long parades through the city, consisting of very traditional panels alla Venice, as well as colorful Brazilian, also oversized candy and giant animal beings, swaying where trapeze artists. And caramelos (sweets) are also cast, finds that the mass around it very well, but not drunk and not even dressed. I have seen some guys go only as policemen (2nd photo) in Madrid Incidentally, it is common practice to make their purchases to be delivered to your home. Elisa on Saturday evening, bought huge and everything was delivered on Monday, just as I was home-exciting. Something kind of funny in a country that does otherwise much less American. But the Spaniards are probably fewer problems with crushed yoghurts than the Germans. If you have this but anything objectionable, whether in a coffee shop or the hairdresser, then fills it hojas de reclamaciones (claim forms), and gets increasingly apparent response or your money back. Oh, and Valentine's Day was also the name the Spaniards dia del corte inglés. El Corte Ingles is THE English department store with a monopoly. Otherwise, very funny: my best friend Hannah, which is European Studies now studying for half a year in Valencia and I was called by its English mobile phone to mine. We have talked about, among other things, how often you actually really hearty laugh. And then me, this is the same happened the next day: the shower curtain here we always have to throw the rod, as Sissi everything else ankratzt and I wanted to take down the the shower (I was wearing), and since my whole shower rod came out of the wall contrary. Because I thought they might hit the mirror, I gave a short, strange cry from me and Elisa, and Olga rannten aus ihren Zimmern. In diesem Bild musste ich so lachen, vor allem, wie Elisa (die eine sehr extreme Lache hat) dann den Vorhand wieder auffädelte, während ich die Duschstange hielt. Sissi scheint übrigens geschlechtsreif zu sein, sie gibt schrecklich flehende Laute von sich und wälzt sich auf dem Rücken hin und her. Und Elisa hat mir einen ganz tollen Schlüsselanhänger mit einem N aus Mexiko mitgebracht. Dann hat mir noch eine Spanierin gesagt ich würde aussehen wie Marisol - ein spanischer Kinderstar! Naja, Jupiter hatte mich auch auf 20 geschätzt... und ich träume hier viel mehr und realer, vielleicht liegt das aber auch daran, dass ich mich auf meiner 80 cm breiten Matratze nicht so rumrollen kann und deshalb die ganze Bewegung im Kopf stattfindet ;O) Also dann bis Ende der Woche, wenn es zum letzten Mal heißt "An einem Sonntag wie diesem..."
Wort zum Sonntag: "El cerebro"- das Gehirn/ das Hirn. Es gibt hier eine Margarine, die gut für das Gehirn sein soll: porque tu cerebro tambien tiene hambre (weil dein Gehirn auch Hunger hat) Nebenbei, was ist eigentlich der Unterschied zwischen Gehirn und Hirn?
