DR. MARK BENECKE: WGT Diary 2022 (6/60) – Shadow bun? No Rammstein? Bild newspaper? (3/3)

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

We meet Steve and Max in front of Leipzig’s main train station. Very well dressed, among other things with Rammstein T-shirt. Mark: “Did you go to the concert?” Steve: “No, unfortunately not, didn’t get the tickets anymore! But we were at the Festwiese before the concert.” Mark: “And that’s exactly how you do it at the WGT, you don’t go to the agra grounds for the WGT, but to the HeiDo. Why?” Max: “Medieval market, mead and a beautiful stage.” Mark: “What kind of mead do you like best? Cherry mead or regular?” Steve: “I think Viking blood is pretty awesome!”

Dark clouds hang over the path from the main station towards Leipzig’s city center. We also see colorful sneakers. Bad omens? Ines believes, “That WGT hasn’t started yet and every year you panic that it’s going to be less.”

02 June 2022 – Thursday, Leipzig

In the Bild newspaper, on page one, one could read that due to some economic and war difficulties, strawberries would be abundant on the one hand, but unsaleable on the other. Fortunately, there is a strawberry house at the Göerdelerring. But when I want to buy some of the delicious fruit to support the strawberry economy, I am amazed at the appearance of the saleswoman. She wears horns and white snow on her eyelids. Could it be Ines? (Text and photos: Mark Benecke)

The next part is about confetti, dero and fluffy socks.
