Apple Restaurant


I was at a dinner ‘party’ this evening. Some meetings/conferences happening at the office and the guests and we went together for dinner.

It was a really terrific restaurant. Funnily, they had everything there apple-related. On the walls, there were artificial apples hanging. At the entrance, there was a HUGE machine which could juice hundreds of apple in a go. Their wifi-netword was “Apfel-net” (Apfel is the German word for apple).

And yes, it went much further to the following level.WP_000077

They had even the toilets done with apple themes! How about that?WP_000079

And well, the dinner was mostly fun. One of the guys wanted to try out the eggplant dish, because he liked all about it, except the eggplants! So, he asked for it without the eggplants. (this stupid joke got repeated enough that I was royally bored with it)

Every one in the group had some special demand regarding the food. The waitress, was extremely accommodating and very friendly. Needless to say, I *really* liked her! :)

The service was excellent and the food was fantastic!

(Some day I should take my SO to this restaurant.)

And, at the end of the day I became a savior too. One of the guests hadn’t checked in the hotel and the reception was closed by the time we reached and his reservation wasn’t of much help. With my German skills, I managed to secure him a room without trouble.

So, it was an altogether very nice evening.

And I am sooooo tired now. So this is good night from me.

Time to worry (high time)


It is high time I left Google products. It is getting scary.

As Romney (wasn’t it) said, “Corporations are people too” (lol),  and the G-person knows too much. Escape-Key-275I wouldn’t want my SO or sister or mom to know about me as much as Google knows.

I should slowly escape. They’ll have all data on me so far, but should reduce the further flow. The gradual transition has started… very slowly.

Signing off,
