Alright.
On LOVEX's official site they have a diary that the update sometimes.
This one entry was posted by Vivian.
Its from Friday.
This isnt the whole thing but its sorta funny.
I mean I feel bad for him because he almost missed his flight home....but getting stopped and searched because a god damn pebble?
How isnt that a least a bit funny?
so here it is.
"The day of our return was quite hard. We finished working in the studio at 1
am German time. Then we packed our personal items and went to bed. The
alarms were set for 3 am. After a quick shower and getting dressed we
entered the minibus and drove 1½ hours to the Düsseldorf airport. Once
there, we headed for the security control and that was where my journey was
about to end.
There wasn't too much time left to the departure when it was my turn to pass
the metal detector. All coats, bags etc. went through the x-ray machine. The
metal detector gate started beeping when I passed through it. After that, a
man wearing a military-looking uniform asked me to spread my arms and
examined me from head to toe with a smaller metal detector gadget. When he
reached my shoes he started talking to me in German and I informed him that
I only spoke English. He then asked me to remove my shoes. So I did and they
put my shoes through the x-ray machine and then started examining them, all
guys together. There were like 10 guys wearing uniforms - and inspecting my
shoes. At one point one of them came to ask me when my flight would depart.
I told him that it would be in fifteen minutes and then became a bit worried
because the guy answered "Hopefully you can make it".
They had to call their boss and he came, took my shoes and carried them
away. A bit later one of them came to inform me: "Come and see". Well, I
followed them to watch the monitor of x-ray machine and they explained that
there's something in the shoes, which they can't recognize and that's the
reason why they can't allow me to pass. I looked at the picture and saw
those little morsels they were talking about. At that point I realized that
the sole of the shoe must be cracked and there is pebble inside the sole. It
took them painfully long to check the shoes. They asked for my passport and
the boarding card again and started making phone calls, every now and then
checking my passport. It was only five minutes before the scheduled
departure time when they returned my shoes and said "Only stones, only
stones". Nothing else but little stones. Then I had to run. I was pissed off
but of course relieved. Even though Germany is a nice country it's still
great to return home."
poor vivi.
I didnt know exactly where to put this so i put it here...
it could have gone in like 3 other threads but w/e
oh and a few paragraphs before that he was complaining about german cheese snacks.
here:
"During that trip we greatly enjoyed all kinds of German delicacies. They do
have better sausages there. Also the cheese selection was delicious as well
as greasy and German wine and beer were both very tasty and nicely priced so
now I believe in those stories I've heard from other travelers. At the
studio they had this great service that we got to write a shopping list each
day. Then Tony, who did a bit of everything at the studio, went to the store
to get our groceries and we never saw any invoices. For example, we had
fresh bread rolls every morning for breakfast. We thought that it was a bit
too much for us because we would have been quite happy with normal bread but
well, we might have gotten used to it. Still, I missed rye bread and Finnish
cheese snacks. I'm a big friend of cheese snacks and I don't understand, why
the German manufacturers ruin the product by adding some kind of nut
flavoring."[/color]
