Not The Real Thing - Thanks, Driver



Ages ago, when Ingo still lived in Rhüden, we went to Hamburg to visit Körperwelten.

When we saw this ad we thought, wow, they come to Braunschweig, sure we go!

Yeah... Just this isn´t Körperwelten, it says Echte Körper and it came in a tent!



Maybe if you haven´t seen the first you´d be... impressed?
But if you have you´d be disappointed. Clever idea to make an ad looking like the first for this little exhibition... the €15 each was money thrown out of the window, kinda.

This was probably the best they had:



The rest was more like this:



Interesting if you study medicine maybe.
Though, interesting was the lung of a smoker - pitch-black! Eww.

So not worth the 30 bucks, we felt truly fooled by the ad...

Being disappointed we thought, what else can go wrong, let´s give KFC a last chance.



Turned out Ingo did not get what he´d ordered the last time - it was yum as always. Call this good or bad ;-)
We shared 6 fillet bites with curry sauce, hmmm...

Afterwards we went to IKEA on the other side of the road - on a Saturday Ingo asked a Braunschweig Harley driver how far the next tram station in Hamburger street is (he even knew!!!) and we took that one, not the one we came from.

And saw the tram taking off still being on the other side, gah...

So we had to wait and, well, we just saw the lung of a smoker, but these ads...



Oh, these mindless ads...



Just see what power they have! All the cigarette butts!!! Ingo...



... just took place for a fake-shot.
But, yes. That is how it looks like here, this is not Perth!

With our "daydriver" we waited some 15 minutes - yes, we have that now, too, the driver explained to Ingo, thank you, man!



Time enough to take some pics:



Dramatic sky, huh?

We heard some thunder growling... ahh, idyllic, no?





Finally the tram arrived...



And then... by.golly!



When we had to get off the rain was less, we went to Rewe to get charcoal for the bbq and when we came out the rain had stopped.

Later I could take this pic of the neighbour´s garden:



And make Bratwurst - with cheese this time, yum:



Yummy, but eek does the cheese smell when falling into the BBQ :-(

So much for a Saturday - always have a close look and don´t get fooled by ads...

We've made tremendous inroads here in the States to curb smoking but still have a long way to go.

Same here, despite the high prices even teens start smoking still...

Very brave to watch that "body" show, it would creep me out!
Adverts for cigarettes, here they can't advertise any more, don't know if it helps at all though...

Well, hmmm. Maybe it was the fact I had to see my parents die of cancer, Bro and I were with them to the last bit, death is horrible, but somehow it belongs to life, it doesn´t creep me out anymore. That doesn´t mean I would not fear it...

Yes, I think it helps, not advertising - I saw near to ne teens smoking in Perth, fewer people than here in general.
