The official London report

Proper adjectives for London: great, superb, gorgeous, bloody fantastic, incredible, wonderful, huge, amazing, flabbergastingly, astonishing, surprising, big, crazy…

Our hotel: Whatever you do, don’t check in at Somerset hotel, badly mooded and tempered receptionists, disgusting mattresses, 3 bed rooms contain generally only two beds and a disgusting mattress, bad service, great continental breakfast (two slices of toast, and maybe a mug of cereals), broken windows, not opening/closing windows.

Our bus driver: I wonder, if the guy has a driver license. He ran every red light he came across with, whether there were pedestrians near or not, the pavement became part of the street and it took two hours to get out of London. At least we had a good laugh, even when we were really pissed of by his driving habits.

The ferries: Ferries are fun. I just stood and stared into the dark sea for hours and of course I shouted a stylish I’m the Queen of the World out.

So okay, but now about the great adventure London:

“Our hood”: we stayed near Baker Street, the imaginary living place of the fictive Sherlock Holmes, so he was everywhere, a statue of him near the underground station and the station was tiled with his profile. Baker Street is also very near to Regent’s park where there was a cool rose garden and some pretty rare animals, I even met a fox in the park and many cute squirrels.

Nutrition: I ate many delicious bagels and two slices of toasts every morning ; ) so I’m absolutely done with white bread for a very long time. Yummy was the food at Food for Thought, a mere vegetarian restaurant, near Covent garden were I had a tasty Chilli con Tofu for dinner.

Shops: I really fell in love with the local second hand culture, second hand book stores and second hand record stores, I postulate such shops right into Germany! So I had to support such gorgeous tiny shops, so I bought for books and three cd’s, goodie. At Cheapo Cheapo Records I immediately remembered the description of such a store on high fidelity. A tiny little, chaotic microcosm, loved it.

Museums: Unfortunately we just had time for two museums, the British and the Natural History Museum, the first one impressed because of the magnificent architecture and of course because off the Stone of Rosetta, never imagined it that huge and in such a good condition. So if you’re into archaeology, try the British, I just liked the Pergamon (Berlin) better. The Natural History Museum contains some dinosaur skeletons, but not the T-Rex, grr, now I’ve got to visit Sue in Chicago But they built a T, kind of kitschy roboter, just can’t stand such roboters The exhibits at human biology were out-dated and I’ve seen some better (the Mathematikum/ Technisches Museum) also when it is about padded animals I prefer the Natural History Museum of Kiel, but when it comes to architecture the NHC is amazing, incredibly amazing. (Pictures will follow)

Galleries: I never thought I could enjoy art exhibitions, until the London trip I found anything likewise just boring, but the Tate turned my opinion about it upside down. So we visited three galleries, the Tate Britain (loved it, because of the extreme variety of artists and epoques), the National Gallery (pretty good, for fans of renaissance and Da Vinci, Rembrandt…) and the Tate Modern (not a fan of modern, as it is often too simplistic and too complex for the visitor to catch the artist’s intention). In every Museum some pictures really caught me and I spent quite some time just staring at those. The great thing is that one gets a real idea of the techniques by glancing at the originals, that’ what posters can not provide. So I saw an astonishing variety of great art these few days.

The city itself: London is just like a lovely chaotic place that is crammed with different types of architectures and height of the buildings, I think that’s the charm of London, one can experience that this city did actually grow, and wasn’t designed.

Cheer up-it’s Shakespeare: The visit at the wooden O was more fun than one could imagine, as our guide had a sort of stand up comedy about Shakespeare, his Time, and his works and it was a pretty good one, so I laughed my ass off about the guide’s version of hamlet, gorgeous!

Oxford: I did like the atmosphere of Oxford and it’s many old houses, that endured centuries, quite interesting was also Christian church where the shoot a part of the Harry Potter films. But all in all I was to tired that very day to enjoy the little detour, pissed of as of a dearth of sleep and because it took our bus driver three and a half hour to get to Oxford (distance London-Oxford: about 80 km)

About residents and tourist: Londoners seem pretty polite; even if they don’t mean it they often express their thankfulness and the excuse all the time. The male Londoners are eye candy, I even saw a guy in the tube that looked like Jake Gyllenhall with glasses on.In addition to that we visited Westminster Abbey, had a London tour and I was often forced to cross the street without using the traffic lights or to ignore the red signs for the pedestrians.

rockige vier einhalb tage

lamm | 04 September, 2006 22:03

ROCK AM SEE!!! Geiles Bands, geile Atmosphäre, geile Stimmung.

Aber am besten fang ich am anfang an mit rise against, denn a wilhelm's scream und die kleinen götter haben wir wegen zugverspätungen verpasst, kannte vorher nur zwei lieder und war völlig hingerissen von der mischung aus punk und hardcore und melodischem geschreie, dann kamen boysesfire, eines ihrer letzten konzerte schnief, und die menge hat noch nicht einmal zugaben gefordert, ignorante mistschweine.jedenfalls ebenfalls großartig musik und im nachhineien ärger ich mich dass ich bisher kaum was von denen hatte/gehört habe. wer das pennywise livealbum kennt hätte am festival auch jede menge freudegehabt, so also auch ich, die jungs wissen auf jeden fall wie man die menge zum rocken bringt. bei maximo park hat mehr dann zeit uns wieder etwas zu fangen, denn die fand ich weniger dufte, das keybord passte einfach nicht. mando diao haben meiner meinung nach zu viel vom neue album gespielt, naja gut klangs auf jeden fall.

und dann der totale knaller PLACEBO, so wunderbar psycho, so geile eineinhalb stunde unfassbar großartige musik, die stimme von brian molko hört sich live fast noch toller an wie auf den alben, jedenfalls hab ich mich kaum einbekommen vor freude die tatsächlich live zu sehn und zu hören, und dann hab ich mich nicht mehr einbekommen, weil die live so wunderbar waren.

was ich sonst noch so mitbekommen habe während der 4 einhalb tage,das rock am see orgateam war zu geizig für festivalbändchen, zähneputzen ist wichtig ; ) am bahnhof rumlungern kann witzig sein, mc donalds fraß ist scheiße und macht nicht satt, eine große portion pommes kann den festivalnachhunger nicht befriedigen und ich habe mich verliebt erst in einen pünktchenrock, dann in die wundervolle stadt konstanz und in die musik von rise against.
