I Break The News

Hello my dear loyal readers, Welcome back to your favorite Blog! This time with another London excursion. Even though, I live in London since several years now, I still frequently come across places I have never seen or heard of before. Like this one - the London Mithraeum. Right next to Cannon street tube station. T his place was recommended to me and an exhibition called ' Born From Stone' is currently on display. However, the true historical site is located downstairs.  In this article, you will find out more and you can also visit the site yourself if you are looking to take a break from the big city life, for a moment of zen and are interested in archaeology and historical finds. Here is a bit of background information about the London Mithraeum, I looked it up for you: ' The London Mithraeum, also known as the Temple of Mithras, is an ancient Roman temple dedicated to the god Mithras discovered at its original site in the 1950s during construction work for the new Bu...

Hello dear readers, It is that time of the year when not only does everyone wants you to shop extensively and around the clock, it is also the time, when special offers are coming your way. Like the one I just signed up for from Audible . 1 audiobook each month for 3 months for only £0.99. That is a great deal! And guess which audiobook I am going for - Yes. Freedom by Angela Merkel. Just released. If you think I don't have 27 hours to spare to listen to the career and life story of our accomplished former chancellor, with all its ups and downs, you are mistaken. 😎 Angela Merkel is East German like me. While America is still having a hard time with letting a woman be a leader, we in Germany have been ok with it for 16 years. It is not an easy job to be this powerful yet stay so calm, professional and collected at all times. I am looking forward to finding out more. 📚

Hallo liebe Leserinnen und Leser, Wie geht es euch heute? Willkommen zurück. Während ich das hier schreibe, regnet es draußen mal wieder. Schließlich ist es London. Es gab schon länger kein Update über mein Leben und ich möchte euch einen kleinen Einblick geben, wie der Alltag in London aussieht. Das könnte besonders interessant sein, wenn ihr aus einem anderen Teil der Welt kommt. In diesem Artikel werdet ihr das Londoner Wetter, das Londoner Essen und die Londoner U-Bahn sehen. Alles zusammengestellt von der Chefredakteurin eures Lieblingsblogs: IBreakTheNews. Also kommt mit, während ich euch zeige, wie das Leben in London meistens ist – um ehrlich zu sein, habe ich die Momente mit teilweise gesperrten U-Bahn-Linien und überfüllten Zügen, die häufig vorkommen, weggelassen. Viel Spaß!   Wenn ich zu Nando's gehe - bestelle ich das: 'Nando's ist eine internationale Restaurantkette, die vor allem für ihre portugiesisch-afrikanische Küche bekannt ist. Die Speisen von Nando...

Call it what you will, manifestation, affirmations.. ok I bought a ticket. The point is, I am going to see Trevor Noah on the 29th of November and I could not be more excited!!! I like Trevor for many reasons. Not only does he come from humble beginnings and established himself as one of the most accomplished comedians worldwide, in addition to the fun part and his natural charm, he is not shying away from addressing the serious topics, all while staying grounded in his humanity and vulnerability. For many, he was the guiding light throughout the pandemic/lockdown, covering the latest developments from his home in NYC for The Daily Show. Who did not tune in, during the most uncertain days, even if only to see what color hoodie he was wearing this time? As you probably know, he is also an author and his first book 'Born A Crime', which we covered on IBreakTheNews as well, reached New York Times Bestseller status. Now Trevor is branching out into new territory, by writing his fir...

Hello dear readers, Nice to see you again! By now, you have probably heard of THE Australian breakdancing sensation Rachael Gunn or Raygun for short, at the Olympics.  She delivered a memorable breakdance performance which included a kangaroo hop and a floor windmill for lack of a better term. Sadly this epic showcase scored a total of zero points with the jury. As you know, this blog is not mean-spirited at all. If Raygun had actually been an Olympic hopeful, taking this hobby seriously and training with determination for years, we would have great compassion for her, regarding this outcome.  However, for  some reason, we don't feel that this is the case here. As you will find out in the video below,  breakdancing can be well-compensated, especially if you are aware of the various available funding programs.  While we do not know Raygun's true intentions, as one viewer pointed out in the comments section, it is rather sad that someone with a true passion for ...

© Jérôme Brouillet Hello dear readers, Thank you for stopping by here today to briefly discuss one of the most spectacular scenes of the 2024 Paris Olympics so far. This whole situation reminded me of an article I wrote in 2020 about the Fliteboard . Surfer Gabriel Medina has delivered one of the most unforgettable moments of the Olympics, with an airborne celebration so perfectly executed it seemed almost unreal and photographer  Jérôme Brouillet was able to capture it.  This photo became an instant classic a few days ago:  Seriously, is this an olympian or an avenger?! We are not sure. And surfing is not easy at all.. On this Blog we have a thing for surfers anyway. But who doesn't - don't judge.  😎 The point is, after all we have seen already, there are still photos that go down in history right away based on sheer skills, timing and brilliance. Congratulations on this perfect shot.  📸 👏🏽

Honey Glazed Salmon with ginger, soy, sesame, chilli & lime dressing  and Kenyan green beans Hello everyone, Welcome back to your favorite Blog! It looks to me like this is turning into a food blog! Very recently, I went to an African restaurant for the first time ever. Expectations were high! 😎 Upon arrival, we were informed that there will be no cocktails tonight because the bartender did not come in.. Oh well. I rarely ever drink anyway. But I would have probably ordered 1 cocktail because it was a premiere.  🍹 In unrelated news -  I have a photo with The Rock!  I really like Jumanji 2 and 3. It was a dinner full of surprises, in hot temperatures because we are currently experiencing a heatwave in London and I don't think there was an AC. My main course was the Honey Glazed Salmon. It was delicious and the sauce had a full taste of a variety of herbs that is hard to describe and was definitely new to me. As the evening went on they started playing a Rnb and ...

Yes, it is true! Portugal is out, Germany is out. After a nerve-racking game against Spain, Germany was sent home yesterday. But don't worry they won't have to travel far since the Euro cup is taking place in Germany. Groundbreaking journalism. You're welcome.  Portugal lost against France  in a dramatic penalty shootout.   ⚽ Despite all of the sorrow there is a ray of light.  This video, highlighting just how much kids looove Cristiano Ronaldo. It is the cutest thing.  😊  Watch below:

I had a great dinner the other night - so great I thought I should share! Mostly, why Peruvian food is my favorite cuisine. To understand this, we have to go waaay back to my time in NYC. This is where I had Peruvian food for the first time. I used to live in the borough of Queens and there at Sunnyside to be precise, was one amazing, yet tiny Peruvian restaurant I still fondly remember. On my way home I often stopped by there to pick up dinner for 6$!!!! That included a quarter chicken, rice, fries (or chips as they say here) a salad and a delicious Peruvian dip. (or 2 because I asked for some extra) I often had long days and that was my reward.  So good!! 1 salsa, 2 salsas? All the salsas!! Editor-in-Chief of this Blog around Easter Virgin mojito - I am still not fond of alcohol even though I am an adult now So he re in London, I have not found many (good) Peruvian restaurants besides this one so far! The food was delicious, the company was great and the place unsurprisingly pack...
