A Peculiar Bloomsday Arrival.

The rumors are true. I have arrived in Berlin and I'm here to stay. My breakfast were waffles & ice cream under a pale sunrise.

More news as soon as I've unpacked enough boxes as to reach my keyboard without a long stick.

Cut & Paste in the City.

Bring your stainless steel scissors and the organic glue: Berlin based company Basteltüte presents us a wonderful collection of papercrafts that let you build your very own little shrine of Berliniana. Their sets include every important aspect of the city from the Fernsehturm to the Döner shops and recently even got blessed with the introduction of the brand new Berliner Tussen – a collection of our beloved stereotypes of native girlies.

The good, the bad, and the artsy.

If you’re in Berlin this week you might consider paying a visit to the Illustrative Berlin 07. This exhibition in the Villa Elizabeth showcases a variety of illustration artists from all over Europe, and as can be expected you’ll encounter the full spectrum from beautiful, sophisticated drawings to outright tacky pixel bombardment.

Northbound on the ICE train #1712.

I just caught an early train and now I'm on my way to spend a 42 hour weekend in Berlin. Leaving Munich behind I'm looking forward to once more enjoy some cultural and culinary diversity. And a lot less of those sixties-style houses and mindsets.
