Oh... and in case you were wondering...

I'm having German lessons for my birthday - hence why so many of my recent posts have had a Deutsch influence!!

Goodbye Lenin!

OK so in my last post I said that the German film Mannerherzen was at the top of my must-see list, but when I was watching the trailer, I stumbled across this. Goodbye Lenin is a moving comedy about a woman who suffers a hear attack just before the fall of the Berlin wall and wakes up from a coma eight months later when her family have to convince her that nothing has happened.

It stars Daniel Bruhl (of Inglorious Basterds fame). You must see this film - its epic!

Berlin, You Are Wonderful... Ich Liebe Berlin!

This is the video for the song Wonderful by Gary Go, filmed on a Berlin rooftop with some great shots of the city and its people... The song was used as part of the production soundtrack to the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf. I think it's a really uplifting and empowering song...

The song was made popular in Germany after it was used on the soundtrack to the film Männerherzen, and is at the top of my must-see list for next week after I hand in my final uni work. Ich Liebe Berlin, Ich Liebe Deutschland...

Fühle Dein Herz Schlagen

This is it... LIVE (Eurovision, Not Mr Jackson!)

Backdating...

You'll notice over the coming weeks that I will be backdating posts from trips and places I've been on/to as I think they deserve to be spoken about... Hence they wont appear at the top of the page so if you've been here before... scroll down, you may find something new...

Re-Launch!

So its been a while since I set up/posted on this blog, in fact if I'm brutally honest I had actually forgotten that I owned it!

So here we go, flybown in 2011 has a slick new look and will feature at least one weekly round up of life as Adam Bown - wherever I may be, or wishing to be at the time!

Sit back, we're off again!
