Bonn- Home of Lugwig van Beethoven
Bonn lives and breaths Beethoven.
I arrived in Koln on Friday late afternoon after 3h and a haft on the bus, took another 20 min to get to Bonn by train. Well, one would be silly to compare Koln and Bonn, Koln is busy, stressed city where you see lot of alternative people working on the street, piercing, metal belts...gays and lesbians kissing each other, the Central Station (Koln hbf) is busy with LOTs of people, lots of operating fast food chains, lot of meat, and sausages, it's like they don't like eating salad. Everything is ugly except the old Catheral.
Bonn, on the other hand is calmer, quieter, cleaner, greener, and prettier. There is not much to see in Bonn as the city is relatively small, but the charm is there. The university is big, and if you ask everybody which is the highest building in Bonn, they will probably tell you the building of Deutch Post-made completely with glass and steel. Well, you can see it from every angle, from the yard of Bonn university (very big university-originally was a castle), from the river...
After dinner, we went to see a silence movie. Well, not a fan but it kinda nice to sit outside surrounding by about 1000 people, with live music accompanied to a silence comedy. And above all, it's for FREE :-). The movie was funny, and I would have liked to have a piano played along instead of the music that they had because sometimes the music they played didn't fit to the sound it should be. BTW, actresses and actors are also not-so-pretty. I think the standard of the beauty has changed, the actress in the past, they are more like Marilyn Monroe type of women, their figures are more volumtuous with big tits of course. Nowadays, women pay too much attention on their weight. If we look at the shop models, god, they look like a skeleton wearing clothes, they give young girls wrong impression of beauty. I sat in a cafe and saw many German girls who are so skinny, and as their skin are pale, they look like a death walking body, Not healthy at all.
Anyway, that is another subject. I decided to go to Bonn to get away from hectic life in Brussels, stress, worries, boredom, and to celebrate Irina's 25th BD on Saturday. On Saturday morning, while Christian went for a haircut, me and Irina walked around the city to shop. Well, she needs a nice dress for a romantic getaway with Christian next weekend in Frankfurt. It is a BD gift that he gave her, a 4 dinner course, champagne and breakfast in bed. It's sweet, and Irina cried when she received it, she has ever received anything like that. Of course, we all know, girls, how much stress it gives as well :-). It means we have to find the right dress-hmm, sexy but not too much of prevailing (after all, we are all Ladies, aren't we? :-)), but don't under-estimate the other side, because a short romantic weekend also means sex. Yeah, you heard me, right, we all know how guys are, and how we try to seduce them hehehehe, try to perfect the art of seduction. A bit of vulgarity, wildness wouldn't hurt, but spice up your relationship, doesn't it?
Maybe for Irina is not really about sex, maybe it's about baby, just kidding of course, or maybe Christian might pop a long-waited-question, who knows.
Juliete and Marcel joined us from Einhoven. It has been more than a year that I have not seen them, so it was nice that they came. We went to a nice (and cheap) restaurant, fusion type of foods, but very good. We met two guys who were from Chicago, and Milan, desperately needed someone who spoke English, so we put the tables together. We went home around midnight, and had champagn in the garden, looking at the stars, the moon was almost full, romantic...Is there a better moment than spending the night under the clear sky, seeing the stars...together with someone you think is right and maybe your other haft? I think I am still waiting for that moment to come, that might complete my life (hey Thao, don't exaggerate, pls :-))
Talked abit with Christian about job, he told me if I mind to move to Bonn because since Duetch Post bought DHL, they need international people to work there, and his boss is looking for someone...I don't know, maybe that is not a bad idea, Bonn isn't bad.
I had a flash back in Guangzhou when I was in Koln to take the bus home this morning. It's not so organised and not many Germans speak English, in time like that, I wish I could speak many languages.
We went to visit Linz, I love the place, a bit similar to Honfleur in Normandy, cute wooden houses with many small paths. Not a good place to shop though, many ugly shops, and drunk people walking around hehehe
Well, TV broadcasts non-stop news about Iraq, about terrorists, about fighting against them like Tony Blair and George Bush said. Why don't we focus on other people around us? smaller problems, easier to find solutions, no? I met a very nice guy from Iraq when I was in Koln station waiting for the bus, he speaks German perfectly, a bit of English, and much nicer than any other Germans I met that day. He ran around to ask about info about the bus for me, so friendly and helpful. It breaks my heart to think about innocent people who are no homeless and probably family scattered. Is this a world we live in today? No mercy, but nucclear power, destructive weapons, oil war? Where is love?
Has anyone stopped and looked in Africa, Sudan for example, where people are dying because of disease and hunger. We are too busy to look, we do not have time to help because we have to deal with other things more urgent...
Isn't that sad when it is not other races destroy us, but we destroy ourselves by destroying our brothers?
