Ok, Talking about Roberto Begnini, there is another GREAT movie I would like to recommend you! 'Night on Earth' by Jim Jarmush. One of the early Roberto Begninis and his part is definitely one of the most funny ones in the whole movie. There is also a very young Winona Rider to be seen. I have enjoyed this movie already many times over the years and still really like it and it still makes me laugh! so...enjoy! Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7wa9kSI5Ew

Letzte Woche beim DRS3 hören habe ich Conradin Perner kennen gelernt. Zuerst lauschte ich einfach Musik, bis plötzlich dieses Interview begann und ich langsam aber sicher innehielt um bald gebannt zuzuhören. Was für eine eindrückliche Geschichte, was für Weisheiten dieser Mann von sich gab. Einfach so, ganz bescheiden und gut bündnerisch direkt. Unbedingt hinhören - es lohnt sich wirklich. http://www.drs3.ch/www/de/drs3/sendungen/focus/2655.sh10194954.html
I was reminded by a good friend, that this sample for lovely packagging design was not on my blog yet. I will change this immediately :o) I proudly present this souvenir I brought with me from Ibiza. Ibiza café. Have not tried it yet, but if it is as good as the packagging looks like it will definitely wake me up in the morning!http://www.cafesibiza.com/
