…the unknown title…

I had to shorten the route, sorry. Google said that the requested URL for the map was too long. So, I just deleted the first points.

After some trouble with the car, they are on the road again – or should I better say rail road

After a long time of not posting anything, I decided to start posting again by offering a service to some, interested in journeys to the north of Europe.

Before I did decide for that I thought a long time, if I could do this because it is about someone else life. Since his tweet is public I think it is ok.

This morning when I went to the bus, I came by this sign. 10 seconds after I passed it I stop suddenly and had to figure out what I just read. I turned around and was relieved: I misread. But I wanted to know exactly what lead me to misreading the sign, since right now I was looking at the back.

I turned around and… saw that I read correctly: “prepaid funerals”.
I could not believe it. I guess I had the mobil phone contracts in mind. Having this, I started to wonder about the concept and the law stated around that topic in germay. You need to know, in Germany the mobil provider are allowed to cancel your prepaid contract/number if you don’t use it for over a year or so. Adopting this, it would mean that you need to use your prepaid funeral very soon.

Fun aside. I saw quiet often commercials about insurance which covers only the costs of your funeral. It is advertised with the idea similar to: you don’t want to bedevil you relatives while they are already so much occupied by grieving.

It is done. I moved my stuff and arrived at my new place till 26th. After sorting out – did not have too much time to unpack – I had my first meal: dinner with traditional Bauernfrühstück (without pickles ). Now it is time for bed, almost. This leaves me to the most important: thanks to I., S. and also J. for the kindness of offering me asylum. Thanks!

In the series of restaurant recommendations I will give you a very small and cosy restaurant tip for Melbourne. “Bluechillies” is very small and a little outside the inner city of Melbourne. But don’t worry. The tram is carrying you there in just 5-10 minutes. It is certainly worth going there. The Style is Asian food but I think it is very westernized. So have a look there.

When being in this area shopping, store hopping, wine cellars (alcohol stores) and bars are welcoming you. Watch out: It is a perfect area to make pictures…

When I went to Manly a few months before, I was introduced to the Chocolaterie “Max Brenner“. They are serving different types of Hot Chocolate and everything else you can get from chocolate. The Chocolate fudge/brownies are a must!!!

In Sydney you can find them a couple of time but they are not always easy to find as the one at the Many Warft. The one in the inner city is in the basement of a Department store. That is not the best location since there is no nice view. Still, better there than not at all. But You really need to search downstairs or better ask someone inside. They will tell you.

Guten Appetit…

I really got the hang if Thai food. “In the Mood for Thai” is a very good restaurant of it’s kind. It is not too cheap compared to others but you should really try this if you are in Sydney!

But, I know that there are Thai restaurants cheaper with the same quality. But they do not have the nice ambient like that one.
