Amolala at Burlesque Show in Barcelona’s Sala Apolo

Last night we went to a really cool event in Barcelona, a Burlesque Show in Sala Apolo with a great audience as well – looked like a scene from the 50s crossed with a stylish tatoo shop! Guy in all 50s clothes with cool hair and girls in petticoats and corsetts, tatooed all over (mix between Betty Boop and Amy Winehouse) 🙂

It was a great show with a kickass singer, Myriam Swanson, who reminded me a bit of Edith Piaf and swedish stripperettes who could do amazing things 😉 chakka chakka!

Osternhasen – warum eigentlich?

Jeder hat sich sicher schon einmal gefragt, was das eigentlich so auf sich hat mit den Osterhasen. Aber konnte jemand diese Frage bisher gut beantworten ausser zu sagen, ich schau mal in google oder wikipedia? Tja, Mamas müssen so was wissen und deshalb hab ich da geschaut, wo Mamas diese Sachen schnell mal nachschauen, damit sie vor Ihren lieben Kleinen dann nicht dumm dastehen.

Also:
Einerseits es gibt das Ostern als christliches Fest mit Jesus Auferstehung
Andereseits gibt es die Überreste aus der Mythologie, in der “der Hase der Bote der germanischen Frühlingsgöttin Ostara war! Hoppelte der Hase über die Wiese, war das ein Zeichen für das Lebenskraft der Natur. Brachte der Hase viele kleine Häschen zur Welt so galt auch das als ein Zeichen für den Neubeginn und Wiedererwachen der Natur nach dem Winterschlaf.” Duh!

na dann…beiss zu!

Amolala at the Championsleague match FC Barcelona – Bayern München

I went to see a Championsleague Football Game last night (thanks to the Papa) – I guess that is something you have to do when you live in a city like Barcelona, well at least once! And so we went to see FC Barcelona – Bayern München in Camp Nou. The stadium is not really nice, old “Betonbau” but it fits an incredible amount of people. They said there were 93.000 people and as we were so early enjoying the view and watching people coming in, I doubted until the last minute that it would really fill up.

I have to say, the Catalan fans are really lame – 90.000 people could make a lot of noise but it was really quiet, not much moving or cheering or singing. At some point some overexcited expats tried to start a “LaOla” which died two blocks later accompanied by the puzzled looks of the catalan fans. At least their team impressed by kicking the Bayerns butts (4:0). However, my favourites were the Bayern fans all dressed up in Lederhosen equipped with lots of fan stuff and flags, all cooped up in a fan cage at the top of the stadium, singing and cheering and making more noise than the entire rest of the stadium!

So it is definitely worth going to see a game when you have the chance!

hehehe, and I just learned thanks to http://www.sueddeutsche.de , that i witnessed a historical moment: “Was ich in der ersten Halbzeit gesehen habe, war das Fürchterlichste, was ich von dem FC Bayern je gesehen habe“, sagte Präsident Franz Beckenbauer.

Hello world!
