Most of us can vividly live through a moment where we thought we’d die from the cold. Many times did I promise myself I would never leave the house again. When spring eventually came around — way
Berlin, throughout its vast loaded chapters of history, has always been a magnet for politically inclined people. But it’s not just the nerds who care the most here: with all of its charm and the dark side of the past, even our German Wasted Youth likes to get drawn into politics and discusses current events with
