Well, first about Dad; he is still in the clinic and got infected with hepatitis and herpes there. So it will take some more time until he can get out.

The football(soccer) world championship is over now and I must say it was great. So many people from all parts of the world where partying together at the official fan-mile, at the Kurfürstendamm and in the clubs, everybody should have seen it and feel the atmosphere.

But yesterday here was again the Love-Parade, okay, this time only about 800 000 People joined it, but it was a big party, and like always it will not stop until Monday morning. Also today there is the Gay Street-party at the Motzstreet and around the Nollendorfplatz, where everybody joins no matter about his/hers sexual preferences or orientation.

Well, and about politics I guess everybody is seeing enough in TV whats happening right now. Also everybody who knows me, knows what I’m thinking about that, that Israel has the right to defend itself. If the Hezbollah had been disarmed by the Lebanese government, like it was order by the UN, there would have been no attacks on Lebanon. But the Hezbollah was still firing there rockets from Lebanese territory to Israel. And the Hamas did the same from the Gaza strip. And if someone tries to kill my family or me, I would strike back, too. With full power and everything I have.
