Not much to report. Things are progressing to plan. We had an inch or so of snow and this happened to coincide with my trip to Bochum's Bermuda Triangle area where one can, apparently, easily become lost amongst all the bars and restaurants. I just got cold and frustrated. The restaurant that Olaf had recommended was closed down, the Indian restaurant was full (Valentines night special) and I could not see anything that looked particularly exciting, ending up in a rather mediocre Asian tapas/small plate joint where all of the wait staff seemed new to the job... Since then it got dank but somewhat warmer, and today the sun came out so I had I nice walk around town for my day off. We have 6 songs now mixed and few worries. I have almost finished organising my iTunes database and my German Studies are progressing... slowly, but I am getting somewhere, I think. I managed to order a meal and drinks last night with the aid of Google translate and dict.cc on the iPhone. The waiter spoke almost no English, but I successfully found the Herring and the Schwabish style sausage (cheapest thing on the menu!). I also managed to negotiate the Herrings from 3 to 2, which seemed plenty as an appetizer. I found that a drink called something like Maltezer is close to Kummel and my new local Li Budda has neither but does keep the Danish Ligne which again is similar. Back to my studies, then. |

Title: Days 47 - 49 Three more mixes
Lloyd, how long do you intend to stay in Bochum for the mixing of your album?
If you like to visit some more pubs or restaurants in the Bermuda tringle in Bochum I would recommend to visit the Tapas restaurant (offering nice Spanish food) or the "360- Three Sixty" (kind of sports bar but usually very crowded, food is ok, burgers, ribs, salads etc.). Tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday of course, they will show on video screen the UEFA Champions League (Bayern Munich-Arsenal and Schalke-Galatasaray Istanbul, I guess). If you did not try a Moritz Fiege Pils yet - the only remaining brewery in town - you should give it a try at the 360. Very bitter beer but a special local one. Jens

Thanks. I've been to the tapas place twice now, and I'm liking the Fiege vom Fass. I like Li Buddha to watch the CL.
