Yesterday's weather was great, so we left the city behind us, and had a picnic in the nature.

Birthday presents

Birthday presents

Thanks to everyone who joined my birthday party. Especially to Björn, Marc and Sven, who came all the way from Hamburg. I think it was a nice evening, with enough beer and food. I hope everyone had a good time. Also thanks for the nice presents!

Day of the Birthday Party

I thought about posting the colorful balloons before.
I'm glad I didn't.
It's the perfect picture for today!

I'm celebrating my birthday (April 21th) with a few friends today :-)

Braunschweig street pics #1

Nothing really special. Just a street pic...

At the market

At the market

Yesterday morning, on my way to the travel agency. The weather was great, and many people were at the market and on the streets.

I paid for the flight to Korea which I booked on Friday. So now it's official: I am going to South Korea on August 8th, returning October 10th. (Cool dates, eh?) I am looking forward to blog 'live' from Korea for you then ;-)

Anyway, it seems the weather will be great today, too. So there are already plans to meet all the guys and gals at 4pm in the park. It's time to start the BBQ season!! :-D

The Dreaming Girl

The Dreaming Girl

The Dreaming Girl

I am such a peculiar girl
Have my dreams and thoughts in another world
But I live my life
So lost in time, so lost in space
I belong to an unknown human race
But I live my life

Perhaps, I will come back again
But I, I don't bother how or when

See all my dreams don't belong to you
They have nothing with your world to do
They just live my life
So who are you, o' so wise
Who can tell what is wrong or right

And I'll just stay right where I am
My dreams belong to dreaming land

I'm not coming back again, my dreams
Belonging to dreaming land, that's why
I'll stay right where I am, see I
I don't need a helping hand

I am such a peculiar girl
Keep my secret thoughts in a secret world
That's how I live my life
So don't tell me how one's supposed to live
'Cause your eyes don't shine, they have done their time
You have lived your life

That's why, I'll stay right where I am
'Cause I, I don't want to die my friend

No I, I don't want those withered eyes
'Cause I, I want to live my life
No I, don't want those withered eyes
See, I want to live to live my life

(Dreaming Girl by Bel Canto)

aids prevention campaign

I think it's good we have this kind of campaigns and social advertising in Germany. It's important to inform the people, especially the youth, about serious matters like the HIV. I hope other countries will follow this example, as it's probably a better prevention than sticking to mottos like 'No sex before marriage' (without any sexual education).
