Isn't that a wonderfully pretentious title?

While we were drinking our cafe latte sitting outside a Vietnamese-run bakery plus Imbiss, i.e. a fast-food place selling chips (B.E.)/fries (A.E.) and the ubiquitous Currywurst, Mr Obama took the back entrance to his hotel and the crowd of people standing in front of the hotel kept the police officers busy. From where we were we couldn't observe Mr Obama's arrival but that was the word on the street and it was also in the papers the next day, some of which had a minute-by-minute account of the senator's day. Yes, I can see why some Republicans latch onto that. But then most of our politicians are so dull that they make the British bunch (including David Cameron, but maybe not William Hague) look positively lively and fascinating. But more about Obama's appeal in another post.

Two iconic buildings ) My, this is getting long. Originally I had planned to include the Chancellor's Washing Machine and the Pregnant Oyster in this post, but I'm done for now, I think.
