Als Traditionsunternehmen (seit 1949!) zwar eigentlich ein alter Hut, aber es entlockte mir dennoch ein Lächeln: in Bamberg gibt es doch tatsächlich ein Bestattungsinstitut mit dem wohlklingenden Namen Pietät Freudensprung.
Glaubt ihr nicht? So seht selbst. Man wundert sich ja doch.

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.
