Katja and I warmed ourselves on a rainy day in Leipzig with cauliflower soup (Blumenkohl-Suppe) at an art cafe called "Paris Syndrome", which, according to the menu, refers to the traumatic disillusionment that Japanese tourists suffer when arriving in Paris, pregnant with romantic expectation--only to be coldly confronted by reality in the big city. Decor in the cafe was a hybrid of "reality" (cement walls) and the romantic (chandeliers, pink and white pin-striped wall-paper, Louis Vuitton upholstered seats).
