A visit to the restaurant ‘Kleine Konoba‘ (‘small konoba‘) at Kassel, Germany is a short trip to the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. The owners have their roots at Zadar, Croatia and serve the typical cuisine of this region: delicious fish and meat, risotto, pasta, cevapcici (‘cevapi‘), special ham (‘prsut‘) and cheese (for example ‘marinirani ovcji sir‘).

It’s a thing you never want to experience: for a short moment in time you fail to keep your eyes on your valuables and then your wallet or handbag is gone without a trace.

The Freibad Weende at the city quarter Weende belonging to Göttingen, Germany was the outdoor swimming pool of my childhood.
