Hangin' with the royals

Hangin' with the royals

Early Thursday morning I touched base with good old Berlin. The city showed some respect by displaying the season’s typical weather which goes by the name Very Grey.
My mom, dad, sister plus a friend showed at the airport and we all went for some breakfast afterwards. At the cafe either the phone rang or the the juicer was in full force – so we actually started wondering if people ordered orange juice over the phone since there weren’t that many guests apart from us. And we didn’t have any.

Looking out of the window seeing some really strange apparel my friend Tine came up with the bon mot

‘Jo is denn heut’ scho Fashion Week?!’

Sorry untranslatable but I nearly died.
Later that day she dragged the little old mare Galfatal to the Luxembourgian embassy (one of Europes smallest but richest country. Average income 120,000 € p.a. Let’s all move!) for a reception. As you can see I had the pleasure of meeting the ruler of Luxembourg and his wife and I was happy to have my little arrival speech prepared… I felt so royal the camera captured a virtual monocle.

After squeezing the last drop of cremant out of the open bar at the embassy we went to the weirdest places with people I didn’t even know we had those in Berlin. Probabely our equivalent to your guido’s. Explanation: I am staying at my mom’s in Charlottenburg (West) not to far from the embassy which might be the equivalent of the upper eastside of New York. I usually live in the East of Berlin. It is a different world.
So basically this less feels like being home but more like an extention of my travel!

P.S: G&T’s are for sissies over here!
