no posts for a while … i was in Luxembourg for my exhibition.

While there I thought about what I miss here in Berlin and what I have in Luxembourg and vice versa.

So, here is a short, incomplete and totally random list …

What Berlin has and Luxembourg misses:

a good night life
size
reasonably cheap restaurant food
coffee to go
a lot of culture, art, music
artists, real ones
hipness
no curfew
anonymity
diversity
laid back-ness
really good beer
the feeling of being able to do what i want without being watched
metroblogging ;-)

And things I miss here and enjoy in Luxembourg:

easy access to nature
really damn good food
people being well dressed
different languages being spoken all around
hills
supermarkets selling everything, especially really fresh and really good food
chic-ness
wealth
a strange mix of tradition and hypermodernity

I have to admit that i am astonished how Luxembourg has changed in recent years, not only by getting a great new museum for contemporary art and a superb concert hall , but also by making an effort to include more culture in the society in general. But in a city where nearly everyone seems to work in the financial world, I would still not find my place.
In case you would like to know a bit more about my country, check out the new Merian , dedicated entirely to Luxembourg.

And, by the way, I am very glad to be back in Berlin! And the next post will be Berlin only, I promise!
