One more thing
Or rather two actually: my friend and colleague Mani has opened his archives and put some photos online that date back to 1998 when we were still studying at the LMU. And yes, that is me (in the middle, holding the mug of beer) and yes, that kind of haircut was actually legal back then.
As for the other thing: I finally got around to testing the latest cool thing regarding public transport in Paris: “Vélib“, i.e. bicycles that are for rent very cheap on automated stations all over town. Since there definitely still is work to do on the English translation of the site, please have a look at this youtube video with a few hints on how the bikes may be used.
