Knut and Kino

It's a sad day in Germany. Knut (pictures from Spiegel Online), the adorable polar bear that made headlines worldwide, lost his caretaker from his bear cub days, Thomas Dörflein (CNN story in English). Update: Knut has his own blog (in German, of course)!

In other news, we went to a German movie theater (Kino in German) for the first time. Unlike the US where it's first come-first serve for seating, the movie theater we went to had numbered seating. It also took 30 minutes of commercials before we got to see the featured movie which included a cameo appearance of Art Garfunkel's son James Garfunkel. The movie is called "Robert Zimmermann wundert sich über die Liebe" and is a sweet, funny story reminiscent of "The Graduate".
