...what bananas do once they are not dangerous.

This might turn into a series on this blog...

cool statue, right? =D

This weekend I helped out my older brother as an extra on their film set. They were shooting the last scene of an independent shortfilm. The reason I took part in that: I want to increase the visibility of Asian people in the German media ^^;

After work we went to a restaurant to celebrate the end of the shooting. So one guy (from what I understood he does the making-of documentation) asked me what my profession was.

"I worked as a social media manager."

"Social media manager?! Oh, I thought: This cute little Asian girl is just interested in films and works, like, in a regular job. Like as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant."

Of course! I'm Asian and female which qualifies me to work in service - just nothing too intellectual... *facepalm*

Later on he said something about karate or martial arts that I can't recall. *facepalm*

Hey folks! I'm sorry I didn't update my blog for the past week but I didn't have a working wifi for my computer so posting was on hold. I hope you'll forgive me. ;)

We were sitting inside a Norwegian bar in Bergen called Henrik's. It is one of the places to go when you are a beer connaisseur and like some good brewed beverage besides Hansa or Ringnes (Norwegian beers, taste is ok, but far from great). Prices are high but what can you do if you have the urge to drink a pint of Guinness or Indian Pale Ale?

So I paid my 76 Norwegian Kroner for my Guinness, trying to forget that this was a beer worth 9 Euros (12 Dollars). Alcohol helps forgetting the dreadful truth. I took a sip.

Bartender: So you're German, eh?

Naekubi: Yes sir, that's what I am (I guess).

Bartender (turned halfway to my hosts, K. and H.): In Germany they have this kind of chocolate called Ritter Sport. What's sporty about chocolate? The last thing you would think about is sports when it comes to chocolate.

Naekubi (a bit surprised): True.

Bartender: Isn't their slogan something like "convenient, square, good"?

Naekubi: Actually it's "square, convenient, good" - "quadratisch, praktisch, gut".

Bartender (shakes his head): A convenient chocolate! Only Germans would come up with a slogan like that.

Naekubi: ... (true indeed.)

Every time a blog post here is being written in English (and it's not a nail polish related entry) you know it's travel time.


Yup, that's right. On Saturday I'm going to leave in a northly direction, that is: Norway! I studied in the beautiful city of Bergen in 2008/2009, so it's a bit like going home.

I'll try to keep you updated on my trip - be it bear wrestling in the Norwegian woods (haha, love the idea) or watching the latest street fashion because let's face it: Germany is waaay behind when it comes to fashion.


Actually I can't wait. The weather forecast is horrible (uhm, floods, anybody?), but I expected rain anyway. I have my rubber boots with me, just in case.


Stay tuned!
