During the winter time of the year, Tiergarten resembles a mysterious, enchanted forest. It’s vast and so empty. With the occasional runner passing our way, we were basically alone when strolling through the snow-covered grounds. I remember how packed and crowded the park is in the summertime. I don’t like it then, people leave their shit everywhere
Berlin is suffocated by a grey, dark and rainy winter. Yesterday, I noticed a vague gleaming behind the raindrop covered bus window: Could that be the long awaited sun? Well, it wasn't the miracle I hoped for but the iridescent white tarp that covered a construction site so big, its sheen was bright enough to bring some light into that grey and rainy day.
There is not much to say about the current weather situation. It is both fantastic (wonderful white snow landscapes and comfortable cozy get-togethers indoors are the perfect pre-Christmas warm up) and terrible (it’s cold as a mother out there, traffic is stuck all the time and if you haven’t yet landed butt first on ice then

We love the cozy atmosphere of the Michelberger Hotel in the Winter. On Advent Sundays, the Michelberger transforms into a cozy makeshift Christmas Forest experience. They pull out the good Whiskey from the basement and spend a merry time with their customers and other happy afternooners like us. While the Michelberger is already quite notorious for
‘Tis the season! Now some of you might have their present-issue taken care of, but most of us slackers don’t care about buying gifts for friends and family until it’s way too late. But fear no more– there are only a hundred and three different Christmas Markets in the city for your late shopping agenda. And
Someone recently tweeted that they were mad at Berlin — if they’d wanted bad weather they would’ve moved to London instead!
