A few days ago I had written an invitation in HC and CS forum. Women living or travelling in my neighbourhood in Berlin were welcome to visit me for some coffee and tea and a nice german kaffeeklatsch this saturday afternoon. They were asked to bring cakes and cookies, a laugh and a hug. Nobody knew how many would arrive, we ended up being six women and Massimo. Everybody brought cakes, some homemade, so we had a great buffet to choose from.
A crackling fire on tv (a dvd giving lots of atmosphere), some jazz music in the background, candles and flowers added to the great feeling.
But best of all, of course, were the people! Three from Hessen and three international guests. Hanne, my friend and collegue from work, Viviane, 23 yr old student, my neighbour Karen from two storeys above, whom I had met at the doorstep one hour before, her friend Massimo from Tuscany (living in Pankow since more than 15 years), Zsuzsa from Budapest, a journalist, and Rachel, the opera singer from Florida, both living in my neighbourhood since several months. We will meet again, for sure, and enjoy more quality time together.
We started at 4pm, the last guests left at 11pm. That's how much we liked each other's company!
I would never have met them without Hospitality Club, Couchsurfing and internet! And the wonderful idea to have a kaffeeklatsch!
