I DO enjoy the annual Wissenschaftsmarkt (Knowledge Fair) in Mainz, being that it’s housed in yurt-like structures (takes me back to my time in Almaty – all 22 hours of it…) that provide ideal lighting conditions and that the target market is kiddies.
Which means that I’ve a fair chance of understanding what’s going on. (And – to save embarrassment – I leave my school reports at home..)
In other yurts, they were blowing out candles with 120dB drum beats, stirring up Macbeth-like concoctions and (probably) splitting atoms.
But this is more my level.
Daria and her brother Luis attempting cunningly to remove blocks from a skyscraper so that when brother/sister removes the next block, gravity takes over and the whole shebang crashes to the ground.
As in the picture, which sadly documents the fact that Daria lost.
And it turns out that I used to work with their Dad.
Now, how cool is that..?
The tension builds…
