Hello Germany, you have me back. I safely arrived after my long flight from Albuquerque in Hamburg. (Hannah, thank you for your nice email.)

Well, the forecast was right and we got a lot of [...]

I was 16 and went with my best friend A. to Rendsburg (a small town near my home town in Germany) to get my belly button pierced.
My friend wanted to get a piercing through her tongue. We both were a little bit nervous because back at that time (it was 13 years ago), the whole [...]
