Besteckshublade

Melbourne at the moment is a about 4 movies (hmm ... maybe not, I have seen all of them already) and 25 Satay-Sticks away from me. Next week I will be home to celebrate and smile at the upcoming 40 and then it is back to KL until mid November. So I am quite happy, that Philipp not only loves visiting kangaroos and has a job that keeps him busy but also has frequent visitors to entertain him.

Why? Because we have a green airmattress that frequently hosts couchsurfing guests. What is couchsurfing? It is sleeping on your best friends couch - and replace "best friend" with "people you have never met before".
Curious? This is where you find us on couchsurfing.org.

Last week we (Philipp) had a guest who is on a mission: Surfing couches for 12 weeks (in Melbourne, where he actually lives himself) and writing 12 songs about it. Our green airmattress was his first couch. And the first song is out now: Besteckshublade. Music & Lyrics: Brett. Voice: Philipp. Location: Our home and surroundings in Elwood.

Amazing project - I am looking forward to the final concert (and hope I am not again a third of a day away ...)

Roadmusic

We didn't post our travel music in quite some time - but our visit to the Limoncello today shot me back in time - about 22 years. Back to our "Wintergarten" at the house I grew up in on a sunny spring morning. Lying on the floor next to our dog, looking into the bright blue sky and listening to a cassette - over and over again.

Here is another catchy song for today:

Look at her clothes - awesome!

I just love the 80ies ;-)

Road music (2)

Today we travelled in the past ... OMG, do you still remember???
I didn't know you could see Angelina Jolie in the video clip. That happens if you grow up without MTV obviously ;-)

Road music

We carry about 20 GB music data with us, 2 iPods and an iTunes Library and our brand-new Suzuki Vitara, called "Victoria" luckily features an AUX-IN.

So this is the song of the day today:

Already drove 500kms today, hoping to arrive in Armindale, NSW, by 9pm. That was a long day on the road through horse country and Hunter Valley.

And by the way: Seems like we have x-mas sorted out. We will meet a bunch of Couchsurfers in Auckland and have a cooking-brunch with local traditional dishes. So much looking forward to it!
