I&#8217;ve seen several movies \u2013 the new Woody Allen <em>Melinda and Melinda<\/em>, <em>Willenbrock<\/em> starring the down-to-reality Axel Prahl, and <em>Million Dollar Baby<\/em> by and with Clint Eastwood. All of these movies are worth a visit. Another thing which is always worth a visit is the beautiful city of Hamburg. I was lucky and had the opportunity to be there last weekend. The weather was absolutely perfect. I visited several friends, strolled along the Elbe, met Kerstin who was able to leave Kopenhagen for the weekend, together went to and enjoyed Anja&#8217;s, Anke&#8217;s and Heike&#8217;s 90<sup>th<\/sup> birthday, made a gorgeous two hour revival bicycle tour through the spring-blossoming western vicinity of Buchholz, spent a few hours in a school sports hall watching kids play handball, and did my share of sauna-ing. Perfect weekend, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Last Saturday, I went to a party in Tini&#8217;s and Andi&#8217;s house in Kreuzberg (happy birthday Tini!) which had a pretty scary motto: <em>Pimp your <span lang=\"de\">Kopf<\/span><\/em>. Inspired by the idea Marc gave me, I took out scissors and cardboard paper to cut myself a Mitra. Mitra? Yup, and thats why I was greeted by a crowd of drunken Erasmus students shouting &#8220;Paparazzi!&#8221; It took me more than a few minutes before I overcame my confusion about the fact that I did not carry any cameras with me but people still kept on saying &#8220;Paparazzi!&#8221; to me and enjoyed themselves tremendously. Could they interpret the white hat as a cook&#8217;s hat, perhaps the cook of the excellent Italian restaurant here in Prenzlauer Berg that is called <em>Paparazzi<\/em>? Finally, I figured it out: they were saying &#8220;Papa Ratzi!&#8221; \u2013 and quite correctly they did. After this obstacle to mental relaxation on the part of yours truly was overcome, the same had a very good time\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a lot of stuff that should have been posted here.
