An inner craving for burger was seeded deep inside of me back when I was a child. My parents would never let us eat fast food except for on special occasions. So while everyone had a delish Christmas dinner, we ended up stuck with all the other non-Christians at McD’s devouring plastic food like it was a five star
Even though this time Germany seems to have a valid chance at grabbing the European Championship Cup, it seems as if the football craze has gone back a step from the heights it reached in 2010. After all, it’s “only” the European finals. Still: many people opt to watch the game with their friends at bars or
What I find especially interesting about the development of a city is to see the changes for myself. I hadn’t lived long enough in Berlin (or long enough in general) to relate to my older and wiser friends about all the things that have been better or worse in the past. People do like to tell their anecdotes,
Sometimes, on any random weekend, it feels like we’ve been everywhere and back. Therefore it can be tough to construct a whole article around one single subject. When there’s so much to do and see — especially in the summer, no matter how rainy or windy it gets — it’s best to just shut up and let the pictures speak
Midsummer. Most children growing up in Berlin will probably never even know what that word means. They will think: “Summer, oh, that’s just another word for autumn, right?”, because that’s damn straight what it feels like. But once upon a time, even Berlin encountered heat waves. Even I have spent days in the city with my skin
When I think of Italy in the summer I have this Retro-Chique picture in my mind. The people wear old-school bathing suits, the cars are still edgy, and the colors are naturally instagrammed. I know it’s a romantic view and a result of cheesy 70’s movies. The real summer beach life in Italy means mostly crowded places and the nice
If you’ve recently visited the Tempelhofer Park you will most likely have noticed the fifteen gazebos scattered across the fields. They are part of the “The World Is Not A Fair” exhibition of the HAU (Hebbel am Ufer), an artistic project with a twist. Their program is one of self-reflected irony, putting the methods of the international
There are so many Open Airs in the city… on a good summer day it can be tricky to find out the “right one” . And because of Berlins risky weather situation — from Mauwi to Moscow in 3 seconds — one is tempted to stay in the neighborhood. There’s also no denying that not every Open Air is of high
Sometimes I find it difficult to put into exact words why Berlin is a good place to live. There are many reasons, sure, but there might be just as many negative points as well. Not having a beach and the constant lousy weather seriously test my limits. There are only so many times that a lake can satisfy my
Going to a concert might not be the most exciting thing to share across the broad subjects that Berlin has to offer. In this case, I’d like to make an exception. We’ve all been waiting impatiently for the A$AP Rocky gig ever since he blew up last year with his monster tracks Pe$o and Wassup. Along
Neukölln is not exactly famous for its broad choices in nice parks. With Tempelhof dominating the “park scene” in terms of reputation it always seems like such an effort to discover something new. Tempelhof is big enough for everyone after all. But the Körnerpark is something special indeed, perfectly laid in an up and coming
