east west

culture shock.
that's how i feel every time i go to east germany and back to london. every time.

i felt relaxed in berlin this week not because everyone i met was so nice, but because everyone and everything was so organised. i did not have to feel like ms super bully simply to get things done, but we were all on the same wave length and actually worked with each other: the taxi driver checked via txt service what my flight gate was, the hotel concierge helped me to build up our little exhibition stand just because he could, i lent my laptop to my boss just because mine was fully charged. the waitress in a bread shop asked me if i wanted the top or bottom half of the bread roll for my open sandwich. when was i last asked that question!
a smooth 3 days.
i aimed to impress my boss by taking him to borchardt's, the posh place and celeb hangout of the moment near gendarmenmarkt. celebs spotted: marius mueller westernhagen!!! mit 2 ladies im schlepptau. cherno dingsbums, moderiert so halbwegs das morgenmagazin, und beate wedekind, vormals elle-chefredakteurin, die mich dauernd angestarrt hat. doch!
my fototour took me from brandenburg gate to oranienburger strasse, alex, prenzlauer berg and potsdamer platz.
hairy house
der fussball geht auf!
neue synagoge, but it's just the fassade
