you should also rate toilets. and publish a guide "europe's best toilets"

It looks like a nice monk’s cell.
Here, you will be remembered as a writer-hermit? Next time you can opt for a Suite and champagne. To surprise and to confuse.

Doesn't look good at all, if it was my hotel bed i would run away.

I agree with David, this is like a bed for a fake princess. Uh.

Mieke

a plastic princess.
the fabric looks like satin, but from a very cheap kind

Now that's a good reason why I didn't know where this hotel is located until yesterday.

@ Arnon

What did the beds look like in your more decadent days?

Mieke

I am a fake princess.
Or do you suspect me of being a woman?

A D

In my more decadent days I asked for a queen size bed.
Thank god these days are over.

Juliane

Breakfast is decent at Hotel Feldmann.

This one looks a bit scary to me.

Only a few copies of the International Female Mud Wrestling for Peace dvds, signed by Arnon Grunberg, are still for sale. 25 euros. Act fast.

Speaking about good 'taste' ...

Dries van Cann

Why don't you do it yourself, it will be a bestseller. Or an tv show:
"Toilets arround the world with Drues van Cann"

My sweet fake princess

Amazing how easy it is to imagine you dressed in pink with a pearl necklace. It doesn't make you a woman though. Not quite, not yet. Ask advice to Vilde. She might give you solace, show you her/his little tricks.

Mieke

did you see the fur coat on the photo in the last post? Maybe Arnon is transforming...or it is Vildes coat, maybe they share?

Arnon

I'm only allowed one reply per blog entry only, it seems.
I celebrated Thanksgiving at West Point, with my girlfriend's professor of genocide, who lives there, since he's in the army. Lots of turkey.

My father wished I was Jewish, hence the name (brothers are called Jonathan and Benjamin). Though you don't own a bookstore, you do try to sell your books, right? Before starting a bookstore, I would like to gain some experience in the publishing part. Don't need to become rich though.

David

I still remember a photo of Hugo Claus dressed in a fur coat. That made him look very sexy. So I hope its Arnon's.

Mieke

You must remember his green fur coat once (Arnon's)

David Pefko

No. Is there a picture of it somewhere on the net?

Mieke

Will surch for you. He wrote also a piece in 'Hollands Maandblad" about this coat if i'm right.

defko

yes, once i wanted to be a writer , like a new tolstoy or something, but i didn't have the stamina. I should probably work on something like " the best toilets in the world" :)

dm pefko

Sorry DM Pefko I called you Defko.

Dries

Being a new Tolstoj is very dificult Dries, but if you will ever start writing the toilet book i can help you, also with the television program.
No problem, you can call me David

What exactly do you expect from me?
Did you move to the US for your girlfriend?

Adobe introduced a lot of new bugs with their Flash 10 release. They are responsible too for making some text and links on this site disappear. I am almost done rebuilding the site in HTML and the problems will be gone. If your [ Add ] button disappears sometimes, please try to use Flash 9 or have a little patience.

It has nothing to do with a policy although I must agree that it might be a nice alternative to banning users, in case we ever have to.

Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience.

Dries & Pefko

I wrote some shitstories (literally and figuratively I suppose) in wich the main character always has an issue with a toilet. The idea was (and is) to make a sort of book to read only on the toilet (a story/visit) about toilets and the problems with that. Marketingwise I saw he stories even print on toiletpaper so that they disappear with the visit, but that could be a little to far, I don't know yet.
So what do you think, a cooperation : toilet tv show + photobook + shitstories and all that in a giftpackage for under the christmas tree?
