After travelling in Naples / Italy in the last week we are glad to be back in Berlin without any car accidents, police arrests or armed robberies (watch out for Finding Napoli this week). Today I found this little conversation in Friedelstr. Berlin how we love it!
On my lunch break I discovered this sun reflection in the backyard of our office in Neukölln. Somehow it looked like arabic signs to me and I had to think about the transformation of this former muslim dominated neighborhood.
We’re drowning in frozen sunshine today, and I fell in love, again and again, with the blinding, radiating light that was shining into the U-Bahn car. Everyone carried a little smile on their way to work. Berlin today: as pretty as possible.
The little urban secrets around the city are what keeps it alive in spirit. Although urban art has had it’s prime time a couple of years ago and is since being used (mostly) as commercial medium, there is nothing as exciting as finding a piece of work that is not put on display quite as obviously.

I’d never been there before as it only opened
Ever since I started going back to University I’ve been spending a lot of time on various train platforms around the city. While it can be annoying to waste time like that, more often than not, I’ve been magically drawn to the rays of sun that make their way, every now and then, through the clouds and

This city is attracted by many people of all kinds. The spirit and the diversity of our urban habitat is like a magnet to many tourists, expats and young rebels who’ve found a place to develop their personalities.
