Geschichte wiederholt sich - oder bleibt immer gleich?

Geschichte wiederholt sich - oder bleibt immer gleich?
History repeats itself - or stays the same?

  ANDRER BÜRGER:
  Nichts Bessers weiß ich mir an Sonn- und Feiertagen
  Als ein Gespräch von Krieg und Kriegsgeschrei,
  Wenn hinten, weit, in der Türkei,
  Die Völker aufeinander schlagen.
  Man steht am Fenster, trinkt sein Gläschen aus
  Und sieht den Fluß hinab die bunten Schiffe gleiten;
  Dann kehrt man abends froh nach Haus,
  Und segnet Fried und Friedenszeiten.

  DRITTER BÜRGER:
  Herr Nachbar, ja! so laß ich's auch geschehn:
  Sie mögen sich die Köpfe spalten,
  Mag alles durcheinander gehn;
  Doch nur zu Hause bleib's beim alten.

ANOTHER  CITIZEN
On holidays there’s nothing I like better
Than talking about war and war’s display,
When in Turkey far away,
People one another batter.
You sit by the window: have a glass:
See the bright boats glide down the river, 865
Then you walk back home and bless
Its peacefulness, and peace, forever.

THIRD  CITIZEN
Neighbour, yes! I like that too:
Let them go and break their heads,
Make the mess they often do:
So long as we’re safe in our beds.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust I, published 1808

More than 200 years later some people still like watching and some people still don't mind bashing each others' heads for other people - and the places are not so different...

Sounds plausible. So, whenever someone asks you, now you know what to respond.

If you ever happen to be in a Chinese-speaking country during Chinese New Year, I suggest you do not go to any somehow touristic location. You will very likely feel like fish in a tin can...

On the photo you see (Do you? Really? Do you see anything other than people?) the "Old Anping Street" in Tainan. Or, you would see it if there weren't all those people in the way.

If you can read Chinese, you will already know what kind of dream someone made true.

No, unfortunately it is not just bacon wrapped around cheese, there is also some toast involved. Maybe next time someone can replace the toast with chocolate?

Still, my Zoo went wild when they smelled this...

The same procedure as every year


The same procedure as every year

This is an important part of the Chinese New Year-celebrations, the "going home" in a collapsing traffic part.

When I got my ticket there around 1030, about three or four people were waiting at each counter. (several bus companies, not just one) Still, the earliest single empty seat was available 1500.

I took this photo in the afternoon, before I got on my bus. The queue, or at least one of them (don't ask me which), now starts with the guy in the foreground, in the left corner. The counters (some of them) are barely visible between the two columns in the left half.

I can't imagine for what time these people get tickets, some of them may not depart before tomorrow.

No. No, I can't. I already got myself some new Totoro accessories. Conan has to wait.

This is a Totoro backpack, but as you can probably tell from the cookie next to it, it's rather small.


This is a Totoro backpack, but as you can probably tell from the cookie next to it, it's rather small. This is not even for children, this is for plush figures, puppets etc.

This allows so many iterations: You could put a small Totoro in it (it even has two compartments) and put the backpack onto a larger Totoro, which you could then put into a Totoro backpack for people...

Or you could just fill the backpack with Totoro cookies like I did and give it away. Of course, I had to compensate the "loss" of this backpack - with another procurement...

Stylized Totoro cookies

Stylized Totoro cookies

My daughter had asked for Totoro cookies and I didn't want to do the same as the first ones, so this time I tried a cookie stick (or whatever you want to call this) for the first time.

The disadvantage is the lack of detail, or else every cookie needs to get its own decoration after cutting, which at this size is a bit difficult.

The basic recipe was for "brittle cookies", colors come from food dye.
