Iron Heart IH-634S - World Tour 2010 - 2013

[FOXY]

On my arrival in Berlin on Monday I had to show up the customs office to claim my latest shipment from Japan…



The whole procedure was rather quick (less than 2 hrs) but a bit expensive…
(normally, I have things send to HK, but this time things got messed up)

[FOXY]

for those curious about the shipment …

sorry no IH this time.

Is your dad a professor or something??

@jimmy:

Is your dad a professor or something??

He is archeologist/ethnologist and used to teach at LAI (Latin-American Institute) in Berlin. Most of the time he is digging in the dirt somewhere in Peru…think Indiana Jones in short.

^does he also wears alden`s?

[Giles]

No, he needs something that will last…...

[Finn666]

VibergxIH i guess eh

[Giles]

Good call…..

[FOXY]

@Giles:

Good call…..

Tried to hook him up with Viberg but he would have needed them bespoke for his odd shaped toes…
Damn, no luck!

[Giles]

Surprised that Viberg would not have done that.  But Russell def will….

they will/would - but my Dad is kind of inpatient plus the 12 weeks until delivery…
I would have to fly him over to Canada.
Boat shoes are "too fancy" for him - I guess I will go with a local bespoke shoe maker one of these day - for now he is wearing the the custom/bespoke shoes he got himself during his last Peru trip - cheap and solid enough, but hardly worth a pic, IMO.

my house - a bit closer with the chestnut tree

a bauhaus style building in my street

on Tuesday I went to visit friends in Berlin for some BBQ - this is their house

the house next door

BBQ with the neighbours and the kids

somebody had issues with the charcoal…

the bunny needed special attention

on the way back home I was wondering through the streets of Berlin at night - one of my favorite book stores

this is where Daniel's shop (DC4) used to be
