Circus in Berlin

From Paris Copenhagen to Berlin 

and every disco I get in.

Bye, bye Copenhagen and the wind turbines lined up so neatly:

The closest I have ever been to Malmö,

*sings Swedish anthem*:

Hallo, Berlin!

U-bahn has the same vibe as Budapest has - glazed tile heaven:

Baggage dropped off, keys received and 

quickly to Potsdam Platz, where Berlinale (Berlin Film Festival) is held...

...to meet up my partner in crime Dréinu!!! (moar !!!! needed !!!) 

Beer is served from big flower vase, 

life's pretty awesome:

As Dréinu found balls to move to Paris thus meeting her is a luxury. 

So where else should we meet if not in Berlin?!

The night escalated quickly, when we stepped in a five star hotel to enjoy few drinks. 

The best alcohol is free alcohol:

I was very into our girl talk so I didn't notice the picture was taken.

Honestly, I swear. #nopose #nomakeup #nolie:

Red light makes us prettier:

Even though we were completely tipsy and cheerful on our way home, 

the grimness of Berlin was always there:

Next day a slight headache accompanied me, so I went to this amazing apartment 

to meet up my (also) hangover friends. Together we were stronger:

Actually I felt much better after I had eaten 160g ghetto:

I gave the professionals a mission to find interesting tunes for my Mister.

Probably returning from Berlin without a vinyl, 

would have meant sleeping in the living room for a month:

Berlin wall and strangely happy kid:

"My God, help me to survive this deadly love":

Oberhaum bridge, 

the boundary between East and West Berlin:

At home Renca showed me some seriously interesting publications from the Nazi era.

The historian inside me had a true orgasm.

Breakfast is happy and colourful, when you live together with a vegetarian:

Berlin = old together with construction sites:

Embrace yourselves, the tourist pictures are coming:

Reichstag building:

18th of March = the date of 1848 revolution + 1990 first and last free elections in East Germany:

Better beats than Berghain could ever offer:

Memorial of Murdered Jews in Europe:

Extremely sombre:

Berlin with its dark side really hits you.

The only cheerful detail from the East-Berlin that has stayed 

is the quirky Ampelmännchen on the pedestrian traffic lights:

Berlin TV tower:

Like said, I plan my travels according to & Other Stories 'store locator'.

Again some € were spent and a lot of joy gained:

I bow down to this Gentleman, danke schön! : 

The sound of Berlin:
