今天主要是Moritz跟朋友見面，幸好是星期六，大家都有空應約。天氣更是陽光普照，非常好心情。
This day was a day for Moritz to meet the old friends. Luckily, it was a weekend which all of them were free to meet. The weather was nice and shiny as well.
We first met his former neighbour Petar. They met when both of them live in Berlin as next door neighbour, they became friends afterwa
rd. Then they moved to Munich around the same time. Since they shared common interest, it was easy to click with each other.

第一眼見到Petar，感覺他是個很嚴肅的人，但其實他骨子裡很風趣，又很照顧身邊的人，給人一份安全感。他與Moritz已經多年沒有見面，難得再次相聚，他們都很興奮雀躍。
My first impression toward Petar was... he is a very serious guy and do not tell jokes. After a short while of observation, I know he is a funny guy and taking good care of people around him. He made you feel secure and comforatble. He has not seen Moritz for a few years. It was really a good chance for them to meet and catch up. They were so excited.
和Petar告別後，馬上又滙合久仰大名多時的Max & Attila, 我以往從Moritz口中都聽說過他們的事情，上次到柏林，Moritz就是在他們家借宿。
Saying goodbye to Petar, we met Max & Attila. I always heard about them from Moritz but never meet them. Last time when Moritz came to Berlin, he stayed at their apartment.
剛和Petar在Cafe吃過早餐，現在又吃午餐，說真的我很飽。但用餐地點是他們常光顧的傳統德國餐廳 (gut-buergerliche kueche), 不是一般吃德國鹹豬手或香腸的西餐廳，而是本地人的食堂，擺放著多種特式自家製菜式，如醃酸菜、釀紅椒、焗薯蓉配紅菜頭和我點的燉鴨腿等，真的五花百門，我立即食指大動。
We just finished the breakfast with Petar in the Cafe, it was too full to have lunch. However, the restaurant is a very traditional German style one, they called it gut-buergerliche kueche. You don't see schweinshaxe or sausages as you found in the modern German restaurant which cater for tourists. This restaurant got some signature dishes amazed me and which is where local people would eat. Various homemade dishes are available: sauerkraut, stuffed peppers, mashed potatoes with beet root and stewed duck leg which was what I ordered. It is super delicious and the flesh is very soft and tender. Sauce enlighten the overall taste. It is a great sense of taste and sensation.
Moritz邊吃邊告訴他們過去一年在香港的日子，他們對每一樣事情都很感興趣，不停追問細節。看著一張張相片又不停發出讚嘆的聲音，露出燦爛的笑容說著so suß, Moritz就如他們的小情人。Attila身邊有著Max & Moritz, 他真的很幸福。
As what Moritz did with Petra, he told Max & Attila his story in Hong Kong. They were showing interested in every single piece happened on Moritz. Lots of questions were raised and details were asked. They kept saying something nice to all the pictures taken, "so sweet" was the highly used adjective. A big smile was always on their faces. It seems that Moritz is their little love one. Attila has Max & Moritz around him which is very very wonderful in his life.
他們帶著小狗Milo, 這隻狗十足十他們的掌上明珠，盡得寵愛，只有八個月大，很貪玩不怕陌生人。在街上永遠走在最前，必定要拖著主人走，不聽指令。以Max & Attila高大的身型，帶著一隻小狗，強烈的對比形成有趣的畫面。
The little doggie of them called Milo. Milo is the apple of their eyes. He was 8 months old and loves to play with anyone. He always walked in the front and led the master. He has his own charater which he does not care the command you told him. The big contrast between the gigantic body of Max & Attila and the tiny Milo made a very interesting family photo.
最後要見面的是Sven, Moritz的大表哥，上一次家庭聚會他沒有出席，所以這是首次與他見面。我們只有在相片中見過對方。
The last one to meet was Sven, the eldest cousin of Moritz. He was not in the family gathering I attended. So it was the first time we finally met, not to include seeing each other on photos.
在遠處看到他在等著，拿著報紙在看，我漫不經意走向他，然後用德文問路，他回過神看著我，停頓了兩秒後便露出笑容，給我一個擁抱。第一眼覺得他和弟弟Benny長得真的很相似，偏黑雙眼最神似。
We saw him waiting for us in front while reading his newspaper. I walked towards him and asked him in German for the direction. He looked at me and smiled to me after a few seconds. Finally he gave me a hug. He look alike with his brother Benny, especially their deep brown eyes.
由於仍然很飽，真的不能多喝半杯咖啡，決定在柏林街上漫步，Moritz又再次細說他的故事。
We decided to have a stroll on the street because we were still in a situation of stuffed, can't even have a half cup of coffee. It was so romantic for Moritz to tell his story in the street of Berlin.
漸漸夜已黑，冷風又鑽入衣物裡。但在柏林最後一夜，值得紀念的城市，堅持要到Brandunburg Tor才回家。冷風無情地吹，手凍身體也很凍，看著坐在Limousine裡已醉的老外向街上途人大叫，以為自己在拍Hangover 4，我沒有思豪妒忌，因為明天醒來他們不記得自己到過Brandunburg Tor，只有爛醉和斷片。
Sky turning dark and wind drilling into the clothes. The last night in Berlin which is a memorable city for us. We decided to go to Brandunburg Gate before heading back. To be honest, it was really cold, not only my face, but both hands and body. Some limousines passed by with some drunken youths yelling out from the window to draw attention from the people on the street. I believe they thought they are filming Hangover 4. I was no jealous because the next morning when they wake up, they remember nothing... they don't remember they have visited Brandunburg Gate. They will just have hangover and headache with them.
Dinner of the day!!!! Dürüm
