hotness

I bought a couple of habaneros and damn are they hot! I will make a sambal for the brave boys.

ouch

I'm officially looking for holiday tips for the timeframe between 7th and 28th June 2008. I am also considering renting out a central Zurich guest room to the highest bidding Russian fan to finance my trip.

Lumas now in Zurich!

over all the ranting I forgot to mention, that the fantastic German photo editions gallery Lumas is now opening in Zurich! They'll be at Marktgasse 9 and their opening will be celebrated this Friday at 19.00.

New York

It's strange... whenever I come into this country the urge to leave immediately hits. Even in an exciting mega city like New York I keep asking myself what makes one go here. Of course the options are great: You'll get some 18'000 restaurants and literally any bar has exotic beers aplenty so you're no longer forced to drink the budweiser pish. And you rarely come into a city which is so international and so busy. But then on the other hand there's the usual blah blah araound you and pretentious people saying things like "I get paid to surf the net" and eating trendy food in overly expenisve spots. Cab drivers who know nothing at all about even the inner skirts of manhattan, a public transport system that needs a major makeover and hotels charging 19$ for a crap cold breakfast buffet. I am going back on Wednesday and still have to figure out how to possibly stay longer than a few days. Sorry if that's a bit harsh on your ears but there's just better cities to visit.
