for the sake of pretending political awareness: nazi and east german propaganda guide page.
certainly, my week-end in berlin was great fun, though. it was a nice wedding in wedding although the official part at the civil registry office was more than a good reason not to get married at all. i mean, why do germans always have to point out that everything must be "ordentlich" (orderly)? it's such a pain in the ass. introduced and still propagated from the right as a german "prime virtue" it even reached out to the left as the fundamentalism of political correctness. but i digress.
the wedding party took place at the allotment colony "ideal 3" where we got stuffed with yummy cakes, bratwurst, salad and grilled meat. many pictures were taken and accompanying tales were written on these for documentation. makes me reconciled again <g>. best wishes and a very more thank you to heike, walid and all their relatives and friends.
on sunday i went through almost all the bars and pubs in mitte, starting with "keyser soze", having the cabaret intermezzo at "kalkscheune" mentioned before, back to "strandbad mitte", some indian food at "nan" (kastanienallee), a staroprama at "bar roberta", then heading for "die assel" as meeting point and finally getting the blues at "alea iacta est". many thanks to claudia and tibor for hosting me, to martha, elke, haugi, darius and last but not least my sister milli for being around. i've had a fine time.
