hamburg

H had some appointments in Hamburg, so we went a couple of days early and spent the weekend with Monika and Manfred, eating lots of fish and seafood, going on a bike tour and cruising around the port on different ferries, with terrific views of the big container port and the Queen Mary 2.
I of course went crazy when we stumbled upon two goddesses :-)))












And then there was that moment when we were sitting in a small roadside cafe underneath apple trees just out of Hamburg and were eating red fruit jelly with vanilla sauce, and there was that plane above us, and H looked up and said: "I think it's the new airbus A380." And all of us went: "No way!" And he looked up and said: "It is!" Mind you, it was the port anniversary, big thing with loads of people everywhere, and the site where the new airbus parts are being assembled is close by, and when we went up the dike to take a look, we could get a full view of the area and the first A380 with its Singapore Airline tail. And the big cargo plane they use to transport the airbus parts just behind. I bet my Singapore-based plane-spotter cousin Jonathan would have loved the sight.

sister days

Spent a couple of days at Sari's 24sqm place in Munich and had a lot of fun doing sister stuff: swapping clothes and shoes :-), going cocktail-bar hopping and dancing, strolling through the center of Munich and having lunch in hip places, ordering pizza while watching silly videos, catching up on original version movies (Ice Age 2 :-), and poor Sarah had to sit with me through the Chinese version of Wuji - weakest Chen Kaige ever (the computer graphics were hilarious) but Chinese enough to make me feel at home), chatting about boys and family, trying out the Mongolian BBQ place she found (pretty much like in Taipei!!! They even had loads of doufu, algae and Chinese mushrooms), taking pics of each other, writing postcards to Reiner (sorry, not posted yet), and admiring Super Twin Nanny's English twins
