Wha..what?

Yesterday at probably 14h or around that we saw 2 police cars plus a normal car in front of our building looking really nervous with their guns up.

2 of them went in forcing the entry, and they went up with their guns pointing everywhere, including us. I just asked "Good afternoon, what's the prpblem?" The cop just asked me really nervous if i saw a naked man, pushing shopping cart with a shot gun. What the fuck?? haha The cop seamed really worried about the naked man and nervous. I told him that we sometimes use the shopping carts to transport big stuff around. I asked my Austrian guests if they were using the shopping carts this morning with a shotgun and they started laughing, because they found a playing gun.

We took the cops downstairs (they were still nervous by this time haha), and the austrian guest showed them this TINY LITTLE playing gun that was BLUE AND GREY!!!! As soon as i saw the gun, i started laughing, because it didn't resemble a shotgun by ANY chance. The look on the cops face was saying "Shit..." all over.

In total they were 8 cops. Funniest moment of the day.

On another note, past two nights were great! We are getting (finally) those laughter and multicultural moments with our traveling guests. Finally the house has the perfect setting to make people comfortable, interested, motivated, available to sharing, etc. Last night they made a camping fire outside. It was cool. Not only we had couchsurfers, but also some kids that live near by, and also Harald joined us with 2 of the 11 babies from China. I am really happy to see that happening again.

JJ did (again) an awesome job with the DIY solar panels. They look pretty neat because he used some transparent acrylic sheets. Also Teddy and Mara have one spare battery from an old car, and they might give us to had to the solar system.

Our questionnaire system is working pretty fine. My austrian guests are really excited and working really hard.

The freeshop is ready. Since we are going to have a party for INDUSTRIALPT in the next 31/07 i'm not going to work on the internet point and the screening place for the movies, because we will need space for the dance floor.
