I went to Bergmann Curry a few weeks back on the recommendation of @jeroenvanmarle.

I have updated the gallery here to include photos of the Stolpersteine I saw this past week, which […]
Yesterday I had my first experience of the Karneval der Kulturen (Carnival of Cultures) parade in Berlin. And what an experience it was. The streets were thronging with people and alive with colour. The Karneval der Kulturen is an opportunity for Berlin to celebrate the diversity of its people and many nations and ethnic groups […]
