Do go to Aiko, a japanese tepanyiaki restaurant on Brunnenstrasse near Rosenthaler Platz. Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the food was excellent in all aspects.

Don’t go to Reingold (not any more), there’s more tourists and retired people on a saturday night than on the boardwalk on the baltic sea.

Welcome to the other time of the year. Summer is gone, and outside Berlin descends into rain, cold, haze and and a bit of idleness. Yesterday, we had a small party at the new office. Everything went quite well and cleaning up today didn’t take so long either. So I guess we are off to a good start. :)

I’m gonna take it way easy on the weekend, since I lost like two days to influenza (or something very close) last week. I am hoping to fight it off until Thuesday. ;) (Thanks to Tanya,) I am listening to Charles Azanvour (”La Boheme”, click here to listen to the track, Amazon and REAL). I have no idea what the song is about, but it fits the mood and the rainy day.

On Monday is a bank holiday in Germany. So we are all slacking off and don’t work (Yeah, right!). It’s “Tag der deutschen Einheit” (German (Re-)Unification Day), when East (GDR) and West (BRD) reunited in 1990, after the wall of the Berlin Wall, and so on. More to follow tomorrow, or Monday. :)

But in any case, if you have to do any last minute shopping for Monday you can do it tomorrow (Sunday) at Friedrichstra
