I'm so happy I could burst!
After 1,5 years in my tiny apartment, I finally came around to get curtains and Internet. Guess which one makes me excited? I feel like I'm ten again. :D

So I just wanted to spread some love here. With pretty pics!

I took this summer 2008, on an island called Öland. Silly name indeed.

Autumn in Brussels, same year. My sister is going there this weekend.

Winter in Brussels, same year.

 

You'll see and hear more from me now, with all this internet!! Wahh <3

PS 1. These images seemed fitting now with the change of season, and with my sister moving to Brussels. I did take all of them myself.

 

PS 2. Can you tell I like plants?

I continued the post-it war here in the harbour, and I put up the biggest character I've seen around. Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to blog about it!

From Bubble Bobble, a game that me and my sister played for hours when we were tiny.

 

I ran out of white ones, so I had to work around that on his belly ;P And speaking of my sister, chances are she will move down to Brussels ..to become an au pair. MadameBruxelles and history repeats itself.

 

I'm happy about this though, I missed the city and this would give me a very good reason to go back. She would live in my favourite part of the town too: Ixelles/Elsene (depending on if you speak french or flemish, seems like the country still wanna divide itself in two).

 

Today's song:

Teddybears feat. Wiley - Why you wanna look at me like that

There is a post-it war going on here in the harbour in Malmö... Rules are simple: game characters - in post-its.

I had to snap some pics of the rather peaceful war.

I know Bart Simpsons isn't really a game character.. But I included him anyway.

 

These are all taken in the harbour here in malmö, around the office buildings in Dockan. And I'm particularly fond of that whoever made Pacman (middle) decided it was better to not let the boss know, and covered it up from the inside, but keeps it visible from outside the building ;D

The post-it war started in Paris but quickly escalated. And if you thought these swedish office workers took some time from their work to do these cute window characters, then check out what Ubisoft in Montréal did:

This might be a surprise for some people, because I didn't have time to update my blog the past week...

But I'm in Germany! Villingen, Schwarzwald, to be precise! This is really my favourite part of Germany (and I'd like to add that I really like Germany overall).
It is soooo warm and humid here. Like a rainforest. And mountains! Hah, I'll never get tired of mountains, coming from flat little Malmö.

So I booked the tickets quite randomly earlier this week, and what am I doing here? Visiting one of my old brothers. We made peace again and it feels better than ever (however right now I'm annoyed at him for sleeping for so long!).

Yesterday he picked me up in Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (That's german for main train station), and we decided to make the most out of the town. We walked  around alot and he showed me cool stores (that unfortunately were closed, it was after 8 in the evening) and nice places.

There was a wine festival in town and for some reason it looked ridiculous when all the hiphop teenagers (drinking here is legal when you're 15) were carrying fancy wine glasses in the subway.
We ended up eating at Sausalitos, they didn't have much vegetarian stuff, so I had potatoes wedges with sourcream and salsa. It was good tho. The main reason we went there was their cocktails! They always have some kind of deal on drinks.
We missed Happy hour but were in time for "Gimme 5!" which was 5 cocktails, and one drink without alcohol, for 29 euros. We had Mai Tai, Tequila sunrise, Ladykiller and many more. They weren't that good, but they were ok. And in every drink you get a bbq stick with a marshmallow and a candy cherry! I have no idea why, but I loved it.

We looked up the trains to Villingen, but it seemed they stopped going at 21, so we were screwed. We went to the station anyway to make sure. True enough. I changed my shoes and we took out the stuff I locked in when I arrived at the station. We decided to party all night and take the first train home instead. We looked for decent bars but they were all so hip (and neither me or my brother were dressed up), so we ended up at Sausalitos again.. The same waitress greeted us and this time we were in time for "Grand finale", meaning huge drink for the price of a normal size. I took a mojito and it was one of the best I ever had. But I was geting really tired after all new impressions and when I almost finished my drink I almost fell asleep sitting...

So at 03.30 or so we decided to go back to the trainstation, and maybe sleep there. Well there we found a "hot spot", a warm room with benches and free wifi. I actually slept quite well and at 6 I woke up and we found our train. 2 hours, one train shift in Rottweil, and some sleep later we were finally in the right place.

I must say that Villingen is adorable! It has a city wall that's probably ancient, and tiny cute houses in cute little streets. After the hotel breakfast (we were just in time for it!) I showered and went to bed finally at around noon.
Tonight we're gonna party here in Villingen!

I'll update with pictures, like, maybe tomorrow!



PS. No, I would never listen to that last song if I wasn't really, really, tired and having one sweet drink after another.
