If you are visiting Berlin for a while you might find this interesting.

Exberliner’s current hot topic is: Kidless Germany?. Do you agree? Getting my usual morninglunch coffee, I noticed many families with kids, or becoming moms, or even moms who are pregnant again.

And even more often, you see those in Kreuzberg. So I figure Kreuzberg is catching up on the large number of children in Prenzlberg? Some of my friends say they feel “under pressure” being surrounded by all those pregnant women, some claim they don’t (:-)) but constantly talk about it. And I really I don’t. Really! How are you guys?

Mein Berlin reports that the 8,000 square meters (That’s roughly 86,111 square foot for you non-metrics.) of green which are installed for the soccer championchips in June at the Olympia stadium come from THE enemy of all enemies of soccer Germany: the Netherlands, in case you did not know.

Now what’s up with that?

The writers at Hauptstadtblog also question my enthusiasm about winning in general. Now what’s up with that - I ask you!

Oststrand, or East beach? A place to be.

The design festival “Design May” will take place 18th - 21st of May. For a list of sites and exhibitors, check here, general info is available on the wiki.

The German N24 reported that Berlin-based stores of the Lidl brand are removing bottled marmelade and baby food from their line of goods.

According to N24, Lidl released a statement earlier about a blackmail issue and believes the products are contaminated. So if you purchased any of the above since Tuesday, you are adviced to return them to Lidl or your local police station.

Besuch, der in die Stadt kommt, der muss verköstigt werden, und so findet man sich dann auch mal wieder im Il Casolare am Landwehrkanal ein. Besuch der ein zweites Mal nach Berlin kommt, der fordert den Besuch schon von selbst ein. ;-)
Und egal wie lange man dann zum Beispiel darauf wartet zu bestellen oder die Bestellung es auf den Tisch schafft. Alle sind dann froh und satt.

Übrigens: Obwohl man im “Sommer” auch draussen sitzen kann, kann vorbestellen nie schaden.

The Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften (night of science) will take place at the 13th May, 2006. Starting from 9 PM shortfilms/animations will be shown inside ten windows of the science center Berlin (Wissenschaftszentrums Berlin, Reichpietschufer 50).

The animations were created by visual communication majors of UDK-Berlin and feature the history of the “escape route symbol”.

Gerade ist mir dieses Photo nochmal aufgefallen, und ich frage mich … hat jemand von Euch schon mal dort gegrillt, oder sowas vorgehabt? Auf diesem Hügel zwischen den Häuserschluchten. Da bekommt man sicher von den Strafzettelverteilenden Politessen/Ordnungsamtlern gleich mit auf’s Dach.

Aber Versuch macht doch eigentlich klug … oder vielleicht sollte man es auch erstmal befrühstücken.
