north london

north london has been a leafy contrast to working class east end and the posh west end for some decades, and nw (postcode is so important!) is where it's still at. went for a walk with a bunch of germans, belgians and english last weekend. guess who's missing in the pics.





our little group marched from the heath (here i nearly fell into the mud) to belsize park, parliament hill (best view of london) and highgate, where, as every ossi knows, karl marx is buried. he liked to go for a stroll across the aprks of north london. we saw a well-known german actress in a hampstead cafe, where we stopped to have sandwiches and drinks. we stopped at a few more cafes on the way. when the well-known german actress heard us speak german, she fled to hide outside. what did she fear us to do? i learned something new about bananas and smoothies. chiquita! in highgate we went for dim sums, spoke about silence retreats and how you are allowed to meditate and masturbate, but not to meditate and read a book. madonna's mini was parked outside of sting's house.
meditate - masturbate - madonna. ommm!

book of the day: mohr und die raben von london
