“Je suis lui, lui, lui et lui et lui aussi et
lui aussi... et je suis lui aussi... et puis lui, lui je veux pas le décevoir.
Je suis elle, elle et elle aussi, je suis français, espagnol, anglais, danois,
je suis pas un mais plusieurs. Je suis comme l'europe je suis tout ça, je suis
un vrai bordel.” L’auberge espagnole
With this
piece out of ‘L'auberge espagnole’ I say "see you" to all the
wonderful people I met in Weimar: Germans, Americans, Frenchmen, Spaniards,
Belgians, Portuguese, Brazilians, Romanians, Canadians, Turks, Englishmen, Scottish,
Irish, Italians, Russians, Chinese, Taiwanese, Malaysians, Cypriots. Did I forget
somebody?
What I’ll
miss about Weimar
Ice-cream
at Eiscafé Venezia
Living in
the most vivid, yet the quietest part of Weimar.
Walking
across Theaterplatz and seeing tourists pose in front of Goethe and Schiller.
Going
shopping and hearing the REWE-jingle, commercials for the Theaterapotheke in
the Steubenstrasse and the “reine
Buttermilch von Müller in Flaschen”-song.
Nobody on
Theaterplatz in the morning or when it rains, except for the early birds eating
ice-cream for breakfast at Venezia.
The beautiful
library with Karrels and Gruppenräume.
Walking
through the city centre en not seeing any car.
Train
stations, which are a living environment full of shops
Park an der
Ilm
The Opera
right behind your apartment!
Brezels
Rotkäpchen
Buying Briefmarken
at the automate
Having an
ATM so close.
Busses arriving
on time.
I won’t miss
Ice-cream
at Giancarlo’s, they’re not friendly at all.
The same
melancholic accordion song every time you pass Theaterplatz.
The long queues
in Deutsche Post
Thüringer Bratwurst.
German
chocolate, Beers and Fritz Mitte’s so called Belgische Pommes
The noise
of the buzzer in our apartment
Broken ovens, central heatings, freezers and toilet buttons.
Broken ovens, central heatings, freezers and toilet buttons.
But I’ll do miss you!
101 Hummelstrasse will always be a part of me.
101 Hummelstrasse will always be a part of me.
Thanks for the almost 1200 pageviews of my blog
in only 5 months.
Always welcome in Cincinnati (USA) from the 16th
of august and back in Belgium from the 22nd of December!
PS: For everybody who ever asked me about the
Belgian political situation, here’s an introduction ;)
