This is Adolf Hitler’s house:

From Random Things

It’s his registered residence during the last years, and it’s in Munich, not in Berlin.

There’s a police station in it today.

Soundtrack: Cool V – “Fuck Nigga”

I went to class and found out that there was no class.

Alas!

So anyway I walked around and played with the GoPro for a while.

Took some footage of what it can be like to be old next to an escalator:

Then I ambushed some people who were going to rub the lion’s head at Odeonsplatz for luck:

And finally I tried the integrated intervall function:

Seemed to work just fine.

I had turned thirty:

And I spent the day doing what I like best:

Taking a break from walking:

This is Bad Tölz by the way. You should go there, it’s quiet and nice.

Through a colorful autumn:

With hurting feet:

Until night fell:

And then some more:

And some more:

Thirty-two kilometers. What more could I ask for?

(Yay, the one with the drawing kid is mine!)

Anyway, that was some good news.

    16 Oct 2011 It was a traveling exhibit and came to the National Library in Beijing in September/October of 2007. It was pretty impressive to see what they did with the photographs that we all made on that trip.
  2. Christoph:
    18 Oct 2011 Thanks John, good times! :)

Well, last night was a sort of show / release party for said book.

And since it was in Munich, and I was in Munich, I got an invitation to appear on stage.

So I put on my favorite shirt, got dinner at my favorite restaurant, had a few shots to boost up my morale, and then I sped to the place that I thought was the venue.

It had been the venue two years ago.

But this time it wasn’t.

And now another thing sorta backfired: being confined to working at home most of the time, I had ditched my cellphone a year ago and never gotten a new one.

So I rode around frantically in taxi cabs, and I eventually made it to the party after everything was over and I wasn’t sober anymore.

One question was hovering in the air though:

- Just how can you walk through China, if you can’t even find a place that you’ve been invited to in the town where you live?

Yep.

Anyway, I learned that:

Danzka is a very sweet vodka. It burns in the mouth rather than in the throat, and it’s mainly fun because it tastes so sweet. I’d give it an 8/10.

And:

Vox (from the Netherlands) is an okay vodka. It works okay in a mixer, but it goes down rather harsh as a shot. A 6/10 maybe?

What a fun night!

    08 Oct 2011 Are you sure you did'nt get stage fright. hehe. But on a more serious note.... "Just how can you walk through China, if you can’t even find a place that you’ve been invited to in the town where you live?" Sounds about right! At least the Vodka seems to have ironed the creases out.
  2. ZMH:
    08 Oct 2011 ya sure it's not the booze??? :D please don't miss the release party of your own book haha

There just always seems to be too much shit on my mind.

Anyway, the other day I took a walk along the Isar river:

Saw luxury cars:

Wild life:

Weird buildings:

And landscapes that looked like Africa:

(or at least like my imagination of it)

…

And how relieved I was to find out:

I still enjoy taking pictures.
