Instant cake mix for a soccer cake. Subtitle "the winner cake"... I don't know exactly why, but I doubt that eating this cake will make Germany win the worldcup.

The real life of Super Mario

Of course everybody knows him from pubertal Gameboy orgies - Super Mario! And of course everybody thinks he's a funny little guy, with a funny little life. But you're wrong!
His life as jumping and running plumber is anything else but funny! See it yourself in this documentary about the real life of Super Mario... poor guy.

Icelandic impressions from India

Nina, a friend from Iceland who I met in Chandigarh, has an amazing story about her worst moment(s) in India to tell. I just couldn't resist posting it, as it shows perfectly the attidute of Indian men towards "fair" coloured foreign women.

My Worst India Moment(s)

On my way home to The City Beautiful (namely Chandigarh, comment added by blog author) I took a Sleeper Bus from Udaipur to Delhi. Of course my bunker bed was the ONLY one not to have curtains. So, of course, the lovely Indian men sleeping around me all had their curtains open for the view. I turned to the window and tried to ignore it and sleep.

In the middle of the night, I woke up to something stroking my butt. I decided someone had been passing by and accidentally bumped into me (now, after all this time in India, don´t ask me why I gave these Indians the benefit of the doubt).

A few seconds later, I got stroked a second time. I realized it was no accident. So, when the third stroke came, I rushed up and saw an Indian jump behind the curtains of his bunker bed across the hallway.

I opened the curtains and started yelling “Excuse me, excuse me” at the man who lay there pretending to be fast asleep. After a few loud “Excuse me´s” he pretended to wake up with a confuzed expression on his face. Pathetic! I screamed a few well-picked words in Hindi, but seeing as I had been working with children during my traineeship, my vocabulary was limited to colours, animal names and such. In the end (as I usually did with the children) I made him apologize: “Bollo: Sorry – Bollo: Sorry”. What an asshole!

The story is not finished! After a whole night on the bus, I took a bus from Delhi to Chandigarh, ran some errands in Sector 17 and 35 and took a rickshaw back home to the traineehouse. Now, when I took of my clothes to take a shower, I noticed a BIG hole in the back of my trousers. YES, the Indian gentleman had been cutting a hole in my trousers when I was sleeping. And, I had walked around Delhi and Chandigarh with my underwear showing the whole day.

Amazing Indian Men

If your able to understand Icelandic, then do not hesitate to visit Nina's blog. I'm sure she's got a lot more interesting stories there:

This could be the winner of my personal world cup of the bizarrest world cup 2006 fan products! Those "Hot Sports Love Balls" caught my eye when surfing on some normal online drugstore website's startpage! I'll refrain from giving detailed information on this product, as this might provoke people to put my blog on a blacklists. :-)

Honestly people... what's the matter with fan hats?!



At least there's some kind of intercultural hat fashion fair going on here:
We can see some kind of muslim hat, a Mickey Mouse ears shaped hat for American fans, the Jamaican rasta/dreadlocks hat and the French or Basque looking hat for baguette/salsa-lovers.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

One step closer to the the title but ten years less for me. I almost died of an heart attack! 11, in words ELEVEN, scoring chances in 30 minutes. Too much for my weak heart. I have to admit soccer might - under certain circumstances, sometimes, very very seldom, be a tiny tinyyyy little bit thrilling.

I never said that! This post will destroy itself in 30 seconds...

Didn't you look for a soccer ball muffin baking pan all your life?!

You might have noticed that there's a small soccer tournament going on in Germany at the moment. I tried hard not to be influenced by it, but it seems that most German citizens don't share my opinion about soccer being a boring game. Well, and whenever people like sports there's a flood of fan products accompanying an international tournament. I've seen a lot of fan merchandise in my admittedly still short life in a capitalistic country, but this worldcup thing is definitely going toooooo far.
That's why I decided to install a small section "The most stupidest and annoying fan products ever" in my blog, documenting the madness of soccer fan merchandise that's going on right now. People seem to think you can sell everything if only it looks like a soccer ball!

Today's example: a simple salad wrapped in a "soccer" foil (I'm glad I don't believe in vegetables being living organisms, otherwise it would have made me cry.)

Evening walk through the fields

After some stormy and rainy days and even some snow in the beginning of June, summer seems to be here now! We had to use this perfect weather to go for a walk through the fields closeby. Apart from Ben's allergic reactions it was wonderful. ;-)
Of course we took a camera with us, and these are some of the results...











Aaaah, memories of Indian powerlines...
