A reason pro Düsseldorf

This morning, I woke to the news from Brussels. I never thought the Facebook Safety Check would be interesting to me but as I studied European Studies quite some former fellow students are now based in Brussels and I was pleased to learn they had marked themselves safe.

Today was a good day to live in Düsseldorf, for ghoulish reasons indeed: I can’t imagine this place being sufficiently interesting to terrorists to bomb. We had the privilege of busying ourselves with peaceful activities: first, we wrote a thank you note to an important person in Sweden (drawing on the Crown Princess Letters to us for inspiration) and then the representative from our printing shop unexpectedly showed up and gave me a box of finest chocolates for a “Happy Easter!”.

Okay, I added the feathers. They are supposed to grace birch twigs (as it is the Swedish Easter Tradition).
