Many of you wrote me e-mails, asking me to say something about myself. I have thought about it for a while and finally I decided that the best way of doing it is describing me through my consumptions (due to the kind of blog!): in terms of brands which characterize me, which I like, of consumptions both in an inspirational and aspirational sense. etc.. I hope you like the idea! And you? What consumptions/brands/activities describe you the best?
Viele von euch haben mir E-mails geschrieben um mich zu fragen, ob ich etwas über mich erzählen kann. Ich hab ein bisschen nachgedacht und hab am Ende entschieden, der beste Weg dies zu tun ist mich durch meine Konsume vorzustellen (das scheint mir mit dem Blog koherent zu sein!): d.h. durch Marken die mich gut charakterisieren, die mir gefallen, durch Konsume die mich inspirieren oder die für mich aspirationell sind, usw.. Ich hoffe die Idee gefällt euch! Und ihr? Welche Konsume/Marken/Aktivitäten beschreiben euch am Besten?

IMPORTANT:
Un invito a tutti gli amanti del parmigiano: Potete aiutare molto la popolazione dell'Emilia Romagna che è stata duramente colpita dai terremoti nell'ultimo mese comperando online pezzi delle forme danneggiate di formaggio (che, come sapete, non possono venire vendute sul mercato per intero, ma solo in pezzi più piccoli). Vi consiglio di dare un'occhiata al sito del consorzio del parmigiano reggiano e anche su Facebook al seguente LINK.
An invitation for all parmesan cheese lovers: You can help the people of Emilia Romagna (Italy's region that has been badly damaged by the earthquakes during the last month) by buying pieces of parmesan cheese online by local producers. The cheese has been ruined by the earthquake and can therefore not been sold on the market as a whole, but only in smaller pieces. It is shipped worldwide. Have a look at Facebook, too, at this LINK.
An alle Parmesan Käse Liebhaber: Ihr könnt den Menschen aus Emilia Romagna (der italienischen Region, die durch die schlimmen Erdbeben im letzten Monat stark geschädigt wurde) viel helfen, indem ihr online Parmesan Käse Stücke von den lokalen Herstellern kauft. Die Käseformen sind durch das Erdbeben geschädigt worden und können deshalb nicht ganz auf dem Markt verkauft werden (sondern nur in kleineren Stücken). Der Käse wird weltweit verschickt. Schaut u.a. in Facebook nach, z.B. unter diesem LINK.
