Oie, depois de…dez anos talvez to voltando pra essa rede! A intençao é de sim comaprtilhar minha vida hahaha mas de uma maneira intencional e talvez meio artistica? da minha visao do mundo.
Amsterdam - jogos e petiscos no Café Hoppe + drinks no speakeasy Door 74.
A atmosfera do hoppe estava bem especial nesse noite, talvez porque tenhamos ido uma segunda-feira a noite, poucas pessoas, muitas bebidas, bom serviço. O garçon falou muitao comigo quando viu que eu tava interessada em saber o que danadoe ram esses shots que os caras da outra mesa tanto pediam. Licor de ameixa! shot gratis mas em um cadre bem mais simpatico e intimista do que de costume.
Tenho na memoria que o tom ganhou uma partida e eu de virada ganhei a segunda.
Chegamos no speakeasy door 74 e…demoramos uns 5 minutos sim pra achar a entrada. Acho que fiz a reseva com uns dias de antecedencia. Luz baixa casais sentados um de frente pro outro, talvez um lugar um pouco intimidador para ir em um primeiro date,o que nao era nosso caso. O menu é baseado nas fases da vida. Peguei o café da manha de criança, cereal, leite e notas de baunilha. Pasmem era realmente gosto de cereal com leite, e o alcool passava logo depois. uma surpresa total.
O do tom foi algo sobre a vida ja madura de adulto, um tipo de conhaque que vinha com uma vela em baixo pra esquentar.
In the smoky haze of a dimly lit speakeasy, shadows twist and twine like the smoky tendrils of a well-aged bourbon, deep and rich against the backdrop of scandalous allure. Charcoal strokes breathe life into figures caught in whispers and secrets, their eyes glinting with mischief and promise, lips curled in knowing smiles. A femme fatale clad in a sleek black dress leans provocatively against the bar, her silhouette a siren’s call in the thick tension of risk and desire. Each line and smudge captures the heartbeat of a dangerous liaison as the night unfurls, tensions simmering like the electric pulse of jazz that dances between illicit glances and the scent of temptation, leaving the air heavy with an intoxicating blend of sin and seduction.
Warum gibt es einen deutschen Soldatenfriedhof in Sandweiler nahe Luxemburg-Stadt? Weshalb hat Luxemburg ihn nach 1945 zugelassen – und wer ist heute für ihn verantwortlich? Wie gedenkt man Soldaten, die für das nationalsozialistische Deutschland kämpften? Und kann man um Gefallene trauern, ohne das Regime zu relativieren, dem sie dienten?
Über diese und weitere Fragen spreche ich mit Diane Tempel-Bornett, Pressesprecherin des Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge.

LotR is crashing with the 1920s in my head now. Gandalf and Posse have to go through an illegal bar to get to the dwarven underground. They have to “Speakeasy” to enter.
for my birthday i might want to get my eyebrows pierced again :3 or perhaps put money towards it at least :)
