This morning I decided to go to the second-best bagel shop for breakfast, and as I wait here for over 15 minutes without a bagel in my hand I am remembering one reason why they are the second best.

I don't know which is more quintessentially Bavarian: the guy in lederhosen walking through the park with a girl in a dirndl, or the other guy riding his bicycle with a pretzel hanging off of each handlebar. (Hi from Munich!)

Nome@nome.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhat's a moment from your life, out of context, that's straight from a movie? I'll start - in Tokyo, looking for a quiet place to eat lunch, I sat down in a graveyard.
