A few days spent in hospital once in a while can be an insight to the design progress of medical equipment. I was impressed with how much more easy, hygienic and less uncomfortable can act of vomiting become thanks to good design. As the description said "Vommax(!) bag is designed for the safe and hygienic collection of vomit" and is a great replacement for the traditional disposable bowls and kidney dishes .

A delicious breakfast at Eva and Florian's last Saturday. German Weisswurst, freshly baked Pretzels and Obatzda (a spicy cheese spread). A once-in-a-lifetime experience! Oh and a beer of course, yes, for breakfast!
