Braunschweig's "Happy Rizzi House."

The Happy Rizzi House
This sculptured, multicoloured house was designed by James Rizzi, a New York pop artist, took two years to build and was opened in 2001.  It is an office block and it is only possible to wander around the building and not visit inside.   It is a surprising sight, it looks very unstable and is exremely cheerful with its wide grinning teeth!    It must be a wonderful sight in winter, with the soft pinks and blues against a background of white snow. 
A big set of teeth!
See www.wikipedia.org  James Rizzi for more information.

On Friday afternoon I visited friends from an English Class, where we ate wonderful cake and drank wine.  How nice it is for me to have enough German to chat easily, and for them to be able to speak enough English to enjoy a really amusing time.  We all agreed that our language skills were much enhanced with the aid of moderate amounts of alcohol.   Prost, cheers, bottoms up!

Multi Coloured Madness!
