Ump-Pull-Mahn!
June 10, 2008
Steve brought me back an Ampelmann ice cube tray and some 'Fresh Cola' flavoured Mentos which I tried so hard not to eat all at once but ultimately failed miserably. Now I am needing to go to Belgium solely for a waffle and Mentos binge.

Or meet someone from Belgium who can be my supplier. Seriously, they are that delicious.



Ampelmann is Berlin's little traffic light man and my new favourite word. You have to say it like 'Ump-pull-mahn' for it to be awesome. There are apparently entire stores dedicated to Ampelmann, selling all sorts of Ampelmann merchandise. Steve has now made it official that every gift we get each other will be an ice cube tray. Or at least something to make drinking even better.

He also got to meet our cousins in England, who are friggen adorable.

Alex, Krista, Chloe and Lauren

I want to gobble them up with a spoon!

Needless to say I am totally feeling the urge to get on a plane and go exploring. And we're not counting Kentucky, I am only going there in hopes of deep fried turkey.

Have you tried Sugar Mountain for the Mentos?

Your cousins are absolutely adorable.

Good call! They will source things for you too if they don't carry them.

I don't see the resemblance between Lauren and me though like my brother mentioned. Probably for good reason, she'll never be doomed to be a burn-a-rific pasty sunscreen sponge like me.
