I´m a bit bummed that I saw many of the best sights in London only from a distance from the driving bus (Battersea Powerstation, Abbey Road crossing, Royal Albert Hall). Several reasons to go back there, really! ---

I guess people who lives there doesn’t like people taking selfies in front of their door. And I bet if there wasn’t a guard, the place would be covered in flowers and graffiti. I wouldn’t be so strict, though. If one person behaves respectfully and takes a discreet picture, no harm for anybody. I’ve been in NY twice, but never passed by. I’d like to visit the building facade, but mostly because it was featured in Rosemary’s Baby and it’s a beautiful building. ---

I´ve seen several old episodes of the Dick Cavett show lately among them the one with John and Yoko and really had mixed feelings when they talked about how their citzenship was in question at the time but how they refused to leave because of the kids. Of course they were targets and obviously mistreated because the Nixon adminstration just wanted to get rid of them, but then I thought. Ahhh, had they left he might as well be still alive. ---

He was renowned as one of the greatest actors in the German-speaking world. Oh this makes me sad. Most of the newspapers just adress him as “the actor who portrayed Hitler in Downfall”. He was much more than this, starring brillant in movies like “Wings of Desire”, “Faraway, so close!” and many others. Rest in peace. ---
