If you had told me a year ago about one of the professors at the University of Bamberg referencing John Singleton’s Boyz n the Hood, a ghetto drama set in South Central L.A. starring Ice Cube and Cuba Gooding Jr., in a lecture on IT Strategy, I would probably have laughed at and ridiculed you. Believe it or not: it happened a few days ago.

Wenn einem der Professor zu Vorlesungsende am Freitagnachmittag ein „produktives Wochenende“ wünscht, dann weiß man wenigstens woran man ist. Danke, gleichfalls!

Yesterday, I had a strange conversation that I would like to share with you.

Hey Felix, are you in town? a friend of mine texted.
Yeah, but only for a short period of time, I replied, wanna hang out tonight?
Hm, I’m not there.

So, what did he want from me?

Enter Carmen.
Carmen: “Let’s go to the Lemon and take a crêpe!”

Although I heard it so often during the last days, it made me smile and chuckle again and again. But maybe it’s just me.

Anyway, what was it that I wanted to tell you? Ah well, the Spanish girls fell in love with a tiny café: the Lemon. It’s in the city centre, in William Street South (that’s near Grafton Street). On Thursday I went there with Carmen, Isa and Berta and although it was a bit dear for my Continental wallet, I have to admit that it was totally worth it: great coffee, great crêpes.

We went to see the ruins of Monasterboice after we had visited Newgrange. Monasterboice consists of a cemetery, the ruins of two churches, the ruins of an old round tower and two Celtic high crosses.
If you do not like Celtic crosses or tombstones, you should stop reading here. But if you do, you’ll see some beautiful photos.

My favourite Photo is the one with the tombstone in front of the tree.
