I’m a huge fan of Germany’s experiment with public transport this summer: 9€/month for unlimited local transit across the entire country? Bravo! Strangely, though, I’ve not really taken advantage of it, other than my trips to the airport, I’ve been out to the northern end of the S1 (Oranienburg), the northern end of the S25 […] I moved across Berlin back in September 2020 – thankfully during a “pause” of sort in the pandemic. Despite having been around a large number of people who were instrumental in my successful move (movers, my handyman, people installing lots of stuff), I managed to not get Corona. Success! … and I still have not […] At my new home, this piece of art no longer hangs directly in view from my working position – so it is no longer something I stare at continuously. I previously featured 38 Days in my blogpost Whatchamacallit 152. Now I see it whenever I leave my bedroom. It still resonates, as a testimony to […] Earlier this summer I attended a few Berlin Flamingos baseball games – for the first time in two years, since last summer was, well, coronaed. One cool thing about the Flamingos is that their home field is about an hour long walk from my new home, meaning that – if I want to – I […] It’s been awhile since I blogged. Sorry. But moving takes effort – and I have had both awesome experiences (KaminPalast, Dielerei), ones where things have taken longer than expected but turned out awesome (KD Küchenstudio), and one utter disaster. Holzconnection, a purveyor of custom made furniture has failed me ever since I signed the contract. […] In July I wrote about Berliner Luft, the soap bubbles. Now it is about Berliner Luft, a peppermint liquor that is best not drunken. However, 2.5 years ago I bought this bottle to celebrate the fact that I’d purchased some “Berliner Luft,” as in a few cubic meters of air high in the sky. […] I’ve never worn this hat. This was a giveaway from the BVG – Berlin’s public transit agency – during Berlin’s Christopher Street Day (Berlin Pride) several years ago. Which year, I cannot recall. The hat folds up tightly and neatly into the yellow bag on the left, along side the whistle in front. I […] A year or two ago I was in a la-di-da kids shop, Kleine Gesellschaft, in Prenzlauer Berg, where I stumbled upon “Berliner Luft.” It’s the kind of kids shop that is so upscale and pretentious that it has its own brand toys. This is, simply put, a bottle of soapy water, complete with one […] I bought this vase in, I believe, December 2018, at the Japanese Christmas Market. The market was held at Malzfabrik, which is located “behind” (sort-of) the Schöneberg IKEA. I went to the market with my two Italian friends – where, generally speaking, we had fun. There were two negative things about the market: first, […] This is Brandenburg Tor as a toy – one that you fill with sand, compact, moisten, then flip and, voila! Brandenburg Tor has come to the beach. Ignore the fact that it has an incorrect number of pillars – it should be six. I bought this in 2015 in preparation for my around the […] |
