HOME - I always knew why I loved Freiburg!

Watch this movie. It's even for free.

Remember this short clip?
"We live in an amazing world and it's wasted on the crappiest generation of spoiled idiots..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jETv3NURwLc

Let us be a generation worth remembering. We can change things. Let us be responsible consumers. I am you, you are me. We are linked. Everybody is. Think about what you buy and who pays for it and if you really want to contribute to a world like this.

Favorite Places #2

As far as I remember I've already showed you some of my favorite spots in NYC.
Here's a little update on Istanbul.

The best thing ever to do in Istanbul is to get on a Ferry, get a tea and a cift kasarli tost (two cheese sandwich) and enjoy the beautiful sight... Ahhhh.... Istanbul...

This little table in the corner is where you can most likely find me!



Or sitting in this little cafe at Tünel Meydan (Square) and watching people go by...


Have a good week!

Buffy Sainte Maire

Speaking of keeping your eyes open: Here's an artist I just rediscovered through Philippe.
Here's a video for you. Great Lyrics, great peformance... She is just awesome.

I am so glad to have Philippe to constantly introduce me to sensational music I didn't know before because there is a radar I am aswell affected by without even noticing it. Little wheel spin and spin, big wheel turns around and around.
He looksfor music far of the vales of mainstream and so called nobody-knows-this-great-indie-stuff-but-everyone-listens-to-it-stream and teaches me something new about music every week. Thank you Philippe!

Danke Isabel!

Last but not least!

Okay. Lots of input today.
But here's a really important one. 

Go VOTE! THIS IS IMPORTANT. Even if you think your voice won't change anything, that's simply not true. People matter, they always have. Just take the matter in your hands.


And show some respect for those who gave and devoted their lives so we can vote today. 

EVERY VOTE IS IMPORTANT. You are important.


It's European Parliament Elections on June 7th!


If you don't know for whom to vote yet, this website might help:

Thank you Isabel! I love you!
