I was walking towards Ebertplatz from Hansaring when I saw Bonodeluxe. I have passed by this store at least a dozen times but never went in. Their window display had scary (read: high) price tags, and I have very little self control when it comes to kitsch. Yesterday, when I […]
Birthdays in Germany are slightly different than most other countries. For example, German customs require that you, the birthday girl, needs to bring a cake for everyone. And if there is a dinner plan after, be ready to pay for everyone, unless you specify that it is a dutch party. […]
I bought myself and Mister tickets for Enrique Iglesias’ All The Hits Live concert at Lanxess Arena in Köln as a birthday present on 4th January 2019, and finally got to see him live in concert last Thursday (i.e. 09th May 2019). First, how has this man not aged in last […]
Rupaul’s Drag Race queens are touring Europe, alternatively known as Werq-ing the World, and I treated myself with tickets to go watch them perform in #Köln. Simply put, it was epic!
