Today I said my living-in-Eindhoven-life goodbye and hopefully for good. I couldn't be happier.
Of course there are things I will miss because I got used to them, like the cats that said hi to me when I came home, or how I got to know when my supermarket had cheesetastings* or how the lady from the photostore finally memorized my name and order (best accomplishment to be honest). I could probably go on for a while here. These small things you get used to and feel happy for knowing.
But these things were mostly important to me because there is nothing else to Eindhoven. And I also know that you will find your routines in any place as long as you spend enough time there. I already know where to get cheesetastings in Amsterdam, and I'll make sure to make enough pictures for the guys at the photostore to know my name soon, and the cats won't be a problem either, so I'm guessing I'm going to feel familiar in no time.


* Cheesetastings. This is a very Dutch thing probably, because Dutchies like cheese and free things. The thing is mostly that I never buy cheese because it is always too much for me and too expensive, but I love myself a taste of cheese every now and then and the free samples always give you just enough to satisfy the need.

THIS MESSAGE IS ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE IN THE NEWYORKCITY AREA.

Hi! Do you see these two lovely lads? They are called Daniel and Marius and they are both German, but that doesnt keep them from wearing cool shoelaces and socks with hearts on them.
They are about to visit New York City to photograph the smallest skyscrapers. Great plan. The only problem is that they still need a place to sleep from the 19th of august till the 23rd (and possibly also middle of september).
Are you a nice person willing to host two nice boys for a night or two? Or do you know anyone who would? Please let me know.
I also added the picture of the flowers to show that I'm sure they'd be willing to thank you for your kindness with anything a poor student who spent all their money on a ticket to new york, has to offer.

(I'm just worried they're going to end up under a bridge and then get stabbed by big american dudes with cheeseburgers with knives in them..)

Hello dearest readers,

So my blog got 222 followers and I know this may not be so much in the world of blogging and it doesnt matter, but I think its nice and I like the number. so first of all thank you for following me. Although that may be a weird thing to thank someone for..
ANYWAY. I always like it when people do these give-awaythings and I always think I should do that too someday and this seems a good occassion. I was thinking to make a little package for the winner with some treasures, maybe some selfmade books or drawings or something, and of course, some prints of photos (of your choice.. although I only have the negatives of the past 2 months or so here).. Well.. Just a little surprise..

I am not so sure if anyone would be interested, but if you are, all you have to do is leave a comment here (dont forget to leave your web or email adress so i can contact you), and then I will pick a random winner within the next weeks.

DEADLINE TO JOIN IS SUNDAY 20. JANUAR

Have a good week!
With love,
Bobby

I miss hamburg. Watching millions of Bored to Death episodes. Germans are so weird. Who would put a giant lion in his garden? It freaks people, like me, out in the middle of the night. 

Ah and merry christmas. I hope it's a good one for you :)

 Autumn Orange. Mostly in Hamburg, but also a little bit of my favourite Bulgarian in Eindhoven.
The last picture is the street of my school. It doesn't really look half as magical now that the trees have lost all their beautiful colours. The white of the snow fits better with grey bunkers and big empty streets.. Luckily there is enough of this as well in Hamburg.
(These cold days are also very good for burning candles, bedroomdancing and doing crafty things dressed in warm sweaters)

Being (at) home in Hamburg. Neatly organized breakfast, amateur haircuts, importing Dutch traditions for German boys. And wooden floors! (one of my favourite things in this house. perfect for bedroomdancing)

Maybe some Hamburgian would like to adopt me as their cat so I can stay in this city forever. Please?

348

Hairy cats, lost bunnies and locked up dogs in Hamburg.
ps thank you for your nice birthdaywishes. It was a good day.

I'm 21 now. meow!
(Our flat is in a constant state of celebration)

Hamburg favourites: word (digga!) and building

Hamburg under construction.

Finally met my professor today. It was really nice. I'm very much looking forward to this coming semester. I don't think I can get bored by this school. Just walking through her halls, or going to the toilet, is exciting here.

Hamburg manages to use as many different tiles as possible on one square meter, it also has lots of street art, bridges and washing machines.
When I think of Eindhoven now, it seems like a miniature city compared to Hamburg. Sometimes I wish I was a bit taller, so I'd feel less tiny here. I think I'll grow into it. 

336

My internet-penpal-temporaryreallife-carskating-veggieburger-catfriend Martin has his birthday today. meoww. Happy birthday, een hele fijne verjaardag! ♥

335

Happy memories of fancy patterned shirts and incredibly sweet, beautiful and talented people. I miss sunny summerdays.

334

 

Tomorrow I'm moving into my new flat for the next 5 months. It will be a kind of special movingday because it's the 10th time I'm moving. It will also probably be the nicest because I don't have that much stuff and it's only a 3 minute-walk! 

333

very grainy photos from wonderful carrides in the cabrio. I have nothing with cars, but the sensation and joy of being in a cabrio, driving on seemingly endless roads with the wind blowing in your face and the whisper of music through the old radio, is one of the best feelings in the world. It's actually the only reason I'm considering getting my driver's licence at some point. But I guess I can also just find more friends with cabriocars to take me on trips on summerdays.

Empty spaces on my last day in Eindhoven.
I met a boy on the bus yesterday and he offered me a room in the center of Hamburg. You can wave to trains, sit on the roof, get pizza at the neighbours and they have two amazing lamps: one with lava and one in the shape of Goethe's head. Can it be any more perfect?
