Corps femenin, qui tant est tendre,
Poly, souef, si precïeulx,
Te fauldra il ces maulx attendre ?
Oy, ou tout vif aler es cieulx.

My Hamburg

 How dare do I say 'my'?! hm? Oh well.  I will not speak however of friends as they do not like to have their picture taken.  One of my favourite Hamburg bit was 'the beach'... can you say it's a beach if it's near a river? I'd say yes, after all there are many beaches near the river Loire in Nivernais where my French family comes from. You have sand, you have people lying down on the beach, you have swimmers... well not so... it'd be a bit dangerous unless you really know the place... its shallow and then very deep as boats come and go there, and cargos as well. Opposite you have the port of Hamburg, looking a bit like the machines in War of the World.

You cannot stop comparing it to Chernobyl, but what a joke that was Chernobyl, with English speakers trying to speak with a Russian accent, well some of them anyway - how insulting that was. And yes, I know I know, some of the actors were great actors, but still... it reminded me of The Reader with great Kate Winslet otherwise, but the accent? No, it will not replace German. Funny that so many in the Anglo-Saxon world care so much about gender, fight against racism and cultural appropriation, and I agree with them, but nothing about true, in-depth cultural appropriation... the colonialism of English everywhere.  Is the film or series set in Germany?
