Found a tight parking spot? Not sure if the car would fit in? Well, in Hamburg, that’s obviously no problem whatsoever! Every day you can see cars parked like this everywhere here: parked sideways, parked double, they’d park them vertically up your front door if they could! And I’ve never seen anyone getting a fine for this! It seems it would mean too much work if they’d start caring about this kind of behavior.

The party is over! It was awesome! We’re on YouTube! Can you spot us?

Especially Westbam was truly amazing! Thanks to Lars for the compilation!

We recently went eating sushi again in the Sushi Circle in Hamburg. I would like to recommend that restaurant. The personnel is friendly, the food is really good and there’s and all-you-can-eat option for merely €16,90 (miso soup included).

If you don’t know where to start, the salmon sushi is always great. And when you get to the desserts, keep an eye out for the doughy banana balls with vanilla sauce because they won’t be on that belt for very long – they are simply the best! If anyone happens to have that recipe… pleaaaase!

A woman enters an ice cream parlour and walks up to the counter. She says to the clerk: “I’ll have a scoop of chocolate please.” The clerk responds: “I’m sorry ma’am, we’re all out of chocolate.” The woman replies: “Oh, okay. In that case I’ll have the chocolate.” The clerk decides she must’ve misheard him and repeats more clearly: “We’re all out of chocolate ice cream for today, miss.” The woman cries: “Oh, okay. Sorry about that. I guess I’ll just get some chocolate then.” The clerk, frustrated, says: “Look lady. Spell van, as in vanilla.” The woman says: “Okay… V-A-N.” The clerk says: “Good, now spell straw, as in strawberry.” The woman confidently replies: “Okay, S-T-R-A-W.” “Excellent!”, cries the clerk, “Now spell f**k as in chocolate.” The woman, puzzled, replies: “But there is no f**k in chocolate.” The clerk cries: “THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU!”

Seagull management is a type of office behavior where a manager flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything and then flies off again leaving a big mess behind. More specifically this means that he only comes into the workplace on occasion when a problem arises or to criticize employees.
