sheesha, lanterns and dreams...

Chris and I had off from Germany into Strasbourg - to meet some of my friends who have gathered to witness the transformation one goes through when they turn 18 again! I am glad its going to be a chilled out -not too fancy a celebration. I keep wishing in my mind that as I enter l'abbatoir (check out the place: read a review in the 'links' section) + Here's (L-R: Matthias, Vlado, Matt and Arthur).

we had the perfect chill out evening... everyone made the evening really cosy, funny, happy and made Chris feel really welcome too and I got to talk to Shorty and Mum + Teju on the phone!

every one left us in the sheesha cafe at the end of the nite to go and find a club/den/kebab shop... and Chris and I just sat there till the place closed jam shut dreaming under the multiple lanterns that hung above; of becoming an astronaut/having our own cafe/(Chris) producing his music and having his own radio station.

Some day those vapours would materialise and we will ring each other up to say: 'hey, guess what I did today: you remember l'abattoir!?'

I finally turned 24... and left l'abattoir before they dusted us off with the furniture.
