Short Trip to Berlin 1

I wanted to capture some quirkiness of Berlin.

I cannot remember which district we were walking...

I think the idea was to leave what you want and take what you need.
Quite a sweet idea.

Berghain....
The coolest club I have experienced so far!
Sex, Drugs & Hardcore Techno
Sheer Madness!!!!

Tadshikische Teeslube
A very interesting and tasty Russian Tea Room

And Me!

Short Trip to Berlin 2

I went to meet a friend in Berlin last weekend.

Autumn was well into the city and there were lovely

coloured trees all around.

Me, Jella (who I went to meet), Laura

We went to Ai Weiwei's photography Exhibition, which was
curated by the man himself by hand picking the 200 works of his own.

The trip could not have been the same without Jella and her friends
which gave me so much pleasure. As I did not know what to expect
and it was the same feeling when I first meet Jella in March
through Ruben in the naked sauna in the middle of Provence.
I love to NOT plan on trips and holidays and just to go with the flow.
What a connection...encounters encounters!

Berlin...

Yes, I do not have to be online blogging on my short trip
but I had a free wi-fi option and an iPhone so why not.
Well, just very quickly to note how much a break was
needed, only realised that I was very tired.
Sometimes you have to come away from your comfort zone.

I am by Humboldt university waiting for my friend for lunch,
with a cuppuccino and oat cookie under the sun.

Most importantly reading 'tinker tailor soldier spy' as all my friends
have somehow cancalled when we have arranged to see
the film on a Monday for the last three weeks!!!
Maybe it is not a Monday film...
Should really see the film next week and the BBC drama
should be good too, 6 hours. Anyone fancy watching the
drama with me, I will bake sweet some cakes to go with
the hard story. Anyone?

Stirling, Scotland

My second night was in Stirling the old capital of Scotland.
Below are views taken from Stirling Castle, I did not go into the castle
but I found the cemetery very interesting! Maybe I am a bit odd......

Looks familiar, right?

Weather was so bad yesterday... It rained all day but I insisted on

going for a country walk and I did, in the rain alone.

At this point, rain became heavier and I was quite scared that I was alone and
I did not have any reception on my phone!

I must say it was very pleasant when i really needed the time
for myself to reflect on a number of things.
However, I didn't get to do much thinking and I was not thinking
at all which is a more difficult thing to do!

Edinburgh, Scotland

I stayed one night in edinburgh very close to St. Giles cathedral.

It's probably the centre of the old town.

These are the views from hotel room.

A warm encounter at the cathedral


A cigar store owned by an interesting looking man.

Various alley ways caught my eyes this time....enjoy!

I so needed the loo and went in but it was a gallery!
