Mari i Wuppertal

Tim, Felix, Nico og David (fra venstre) hadde billetter for kampen mellom Ghana og Tsjekkia. En fantastisk opplevelse. Jeg gleder meg på deres vegne, og fryder meg over at jeg kan konsumere akkurat så mye fotball som jeg gidder, men ikke mer...


 

Nico og jeg var så heldige å bli invitert i brylluppet til den nye sjefen min i WWF. Nico kunne uheldigvis ikke, men jeg hadde en flott opplevelse mellom høye tinder og dype daler i Sveits. Seremonien var under åpen himmel, festen var i huset på haugen...
Jeg tok natttog fra Wien til Zurich, deretter et lokaltog til Luzern, oxo seilte jeg jaggu med et dampskip (nesten mjøsstemning).

Det var noe som minnet meg om hjemme da jeg var i sveits, samtidig var det veldig annerledes. Alt var veldig bebygd og masseturistifisert, hvertfall der jeg var.
Det var en fantastisk romantisk seremoni. Presten var ei dame som tidligere har hatt jobb i kirken, men som har gått ut, og opererer mer på freelance basis. Paret hadde skrevet brev til hverandre, som utgjorde ekteskapet, og det hele var en fantastisk flott dag, og en heidundrandes fest ble det etterpå! 

Nico hat im Oktober in eine theatergruppe, Skandalys angefangen. Skandalys spielen skandinavische theaterstücke in der orginalsprache, und diesem Frühling war Ibsens John Gabriel Borkmann ausgewählt.

Ich durfte auch teilnehmen, und meine rote Absatzschuhe benutzen!
Sonia hat mir als abschiedsgeschenk einen schwarzwaldhirsch im schneesturm geschenkt. Den gucke ich jetzt jeden Morgen an! Ich bin froh das wir uns kennengelernt habe, Sonia!












Ibsen på norsk, med tyske, norske og en italiensk hovedrolle innehaver. Nico var den som dro meg med, vi hadde fire forestillinger, i Freiburg og i Zurich. Dette bildet er tatt før åpningsscenen; banksjefen John Gabriel nyter champagnen på solsiden. Men senere går det i god, kjent Ibsenstil bratt nedoverbakke....rett i den symbolske gruvedøden.

Alex (t.v) og hennes kjæreste Sven Erik gjorde mye av det "usynlige" men dog viktige arbeidet rundt en teaterforestilling. Til høyre står Davide, som spillte egenkomponert klarinett og elektroakustisk musikk før og mellom aktene.
Deborah og Alex. Vårt regissørpar
Nu er siste forestilling over og vi kan ta av oss maska....???

Some of the people at the goodbye party in Burgunderstraße was not caught by my olympus 440.

these two young, charming ladies, were playing theatre with Nico and me. Sonja was the grievous alcoholic, Mrs Borkman, Liv was the sick and hopeless romantic Ms Rentheim.







Ana Lucia Pinto. A name all finance people should be aware of, if they consider doing dirty, unsustainable business, especially in Peru. From Arequipa, a natural talent in delegating...













Eva Maria could unfortunantelly not come to our party. She is working in Cologne for the moment. This picture was taken as Nico and me were in Cologne, I I went to have a breakfast with Eva Maria. Hopefully, we will soon be living in Freiburg again, both of us!














Kate was also at my goodbyeparty...but for some reason I do not have picture of her fabulous party outfit. Anyway: I do not think I have ever met such an easygoing person before. Strange sense of humour, but at least she explains you when a joke is made. I laughed quite often anyway...:)

Amy, my pretty, wonderful Amy. I got a tee-shirt from my collegues, and I am looking foreward to seeing them all again, either in Vienna, in Freiburg or somewhere totally different.
Brigitte is my german-norwegian hiking friend. After spending a year in Bergen, this brave medical student set of to Namibia to be there for half a year...where her plans go next, nobody knows, but if I was sick, I would be very glad if Brigitte was there!
NICO MIN!!!!
Szu Yin is silent, thoughtful and strong as stone. She spent some weeks of this spring in Nepal. She has the most elegant handmovements I have seen, when she is explaining something immensly complicated for technical analphabeths like me....

Alex, the second of three delightful dames in Nicos WG is the official dancingqueen with rythm, hips and groove untill the early dawn. Her laughter is irresistably contagoius....pure devotion for living and loving.
Karol is a lady with a sharp sense of humor, and devoted to the little thighs that makes life beautiful. And she is just as mysterious and teasing as she looks on this picture
Sabine is on top of it. The perfect project controller, always knowing how, what and where. Her wonderful hair is ALWAYS combed, her english is perfect and thanks to her I have spent great times in the Forestry faculty watching international films and eating delicious food...
Raluca...the woman behind the MAN... The Romanian pretty face is married to a beauty. After having worked for five years in Romania, she packed her stuff and husband and left for Germany. Excellent! 

The joy of organizing a grillparty without contact to the higher almighty.... not a single WURST was grilled, but the party was jumping....almost 30liters of sangria was consumed, times were good! To the left Daniel, an always happy and talkative "ossie" and Ke, one of my 3 flatmates
Claudia is the physiotherapist who lives with Nico in the wonderful wohngemeinschaft across the street. Claudia has the most pleasant voice I know, and is impressingly cooking her lunch for the day after every evening.
Amy looked marvellous this evening, in her pink and red outfit. A nicer picture will follow!
Liviu is the MAN in my masterprogramme. He is polite and smart, and knows how to treat a lady! This is a Romanian who will cross your path, if you are from IKEA or FSC, and it will most probably be an enriching encounter...
