Wahnsinn oder? Seit meinem letzten Einträg sind nun auch schon wieder 4 Monate vergangen, so kann das eigentlich nicht weitergehen, mir wird grade unmissverständlich klar: Ich bin ein fauler blogger…
Was ist passiert die letzte Zeit fragt Ihr Euch? Nachdem meine Freundin im Februar zu mir nach Berlin gezogen ist kann man sagen, wurde meine Wohnung einem radikalen Veränderungsprozess unterzogen, aber zum Guten. Es gibt hier nun Pflanzen auf dem Balkon und sogar Vorhänge in allen Zimmern. Auch eine Dunstabzugshaube wurde in der Küche installiert – von mir eigenhändig 
Und auch sonst waren wir viel unterwegs – nicht nur durch unser neues Hobby dem GeoCaching (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching) sondern auch party-vise!
Anbei mal eine Liste aller locations und/oder Sehenswürdigkeiten die nach Besuch für gut befunden wurden:
- Nachbar in Schöneberg – nette kleine Kneipe
- Green door Bar in Schöneberg – familiäre Bar mit wirklich SUPER leckeren Cocktails
- Hasir – Super türkisches Essen in Schöneberg und Kreuzberg anzutreffen!
- Mr. Hu in Schöneberg – Bar mit Kult-character! Anschauen
- Zeitlos in Tiergarten – Lecker Tapas, lecker Cocktails, nette große Bar mit Sand
- Oranium in der Oranienburger Straße (http://www.oranium.de/) – Schick aber günstig und verdammt lecker, von Cocktails über Flammkuchen zu Pizza, alles toll!
- Andalucia Spanier Savignyplatz (http://www.andalucia-berlin.de/) – Lecker Tapas
- Stresemann Wirtshaus in Mitte (all you can eat Brunch für 3,90€) – große Auswahl, lecker!
- Alex am Alexanderplatz – Große location und super zum Brunchen (reservieren!)
- Escados am Alex (http://www.escados.de/) – riesen Grill, humaner Preis, lecker Steak!
- Story of Berlin (http://www.story-of-berlin.de/) – geniales Museum das die historische Entwicklung Berlins super aufarbeitet!
- Potsdam Sanssouci Schloss und Park – einfach nur hübsch gelegen und gemütlich zum entspannen. Potsdam ist toll!
So das soll es in aller Kürze erst mal gewesen sein. Wenn mir noch ein paar Sachen ad-hoc einfallen Schreibe ich sie dazu. Mal sehn wie lange Ihr auf den nächsten Post warten müsst, jetzt bin ich erst einmal in NYC 
Letztes Wochenende war ich mal wieder unterwegs. Diesmal machten wir zum Einen den Club der Visionäre unsicher, eine sehr nette location am Wasser mit wankenden Planken aber netter Musik – recht alternativ in Kreuzberg gelegen. Danach musste ein sehr hübscher Club mit Namen Spindler und Klatt (übrigens auch ne coole Website) dran glauben, ebenfalls Kreuzberg und ebenfalls am Wasser, recht schick und teuer aber auch super nett – vorallem eben weil man nach einer harten Runde dancing auch raus sitzen kann ans Wasser und dort etwas chillen – also weiterzuempfehlen!
Mal sehn was es noch so zu sehen gibt…
Da nicht jeder Blogeintrag auf englisch sein muss, werde ich zur Feier des Tages (ja es ist endlich richtig Sommer hier in Berlin und kein Aprilwetter mehr) einmal einen deutschen Eintrag verfassen. For all non-german speakers: This is a good way to practice or start learning german right?
Genau aus diesem Grund ist die im Titel genannte Veranstaltung, also die Harley Days 2009 am Berliner Salzufer sehr interessant. Dieses Treffen aller berühmten und berüchtigten Rocker findet zum ersten Mal in Berlin statt und natürlich wird dies eine mächtige Party. Sogar mit musikalischer Unterstützung von Simple Minds. Natürlich auch interessant denn die waren erst in Berlin total ausverkauft und jetzt gibts die umsonst und open air. Genial! Was auch noch interessant ist, es soll dort ein Bungee-Jumping Turm aufgebaut werden, vielleicht ist das DIE Gelegenheit endlich mal sowas mitzumachen.
Lange Rede kurzer Sinn: Da will ich hin Ich gehe mal schwer davon aus, dass ich an dieser Stelle dann ein Update posten werde, wie es war und so weiter.
Wow! I just realized that it is possible to integrate facebook, twitter and this wordpress software! Maybe I find more Communities or Software to integrate here. Nice! So dont be alarmed if there are a few new blog entries the next couple of days I just have a little time to play with my blog now. Why? Vacation of course!!
Do you know Maultaschen? Did you ever try to do it on your own? I mean really do everything manually – even the pasta that keeps the tasty meat warm? Ok then you have my deepest respect but you have to admit that you are an old woman or some swabian crazy guy like me
And the best way to celebrate cooking Maultaschen with potatoe salad and a cool beer is by organizing a team event and build the little bastards jointly. So we met this monday at my place to fight through the really swabian manuals on successfully mastering the high art of Maultäschle. I have to admit I did everything exept for the pasta – this is most definitely not my line of business. By the way, we did not only one but two different kinds of those tasty bits: The first ones originale and the others with salmon due to the Turkish visitors which didn’t want to eat pork in sufficient amounts.
The pictures of this event you can find on facebook! Please feel free to comment!
After a nice evening and a quite good bottle of wine – and a few beers of course – the kitchen didn’t want to clean itself so it was my turn to get rid of the total mess. But it was fun!! If you want to know how to do Maultaschen I can provide all the information!
Long time no post you might say – what is Ingo up to all the time. Well I have settled in very well I think. My flat even has a new Couch, a table, chairs and all those tiny details that you dont think about from the start. And the best thing: It is starting to get warmer – slowly but surely. So what have I been up to on those few warm days on the weekends?
Actually the best thing you can do in Berlin when its hot is to go to a Party Beach / Beach-Bar. There are many of them all along the Spree. I tried 3 so far. The Bundespressestrand directly at main station is the best one so far because due to the prices it is not that overcrowded as the other ones and really nice chairs where you can comfortably relaxe / chill / whatever.
The second one is directly opposite of main station but the chairs are very simple and most of the visitors are tourists.
The third one I visited yesterday for the Grand Opening Party. It is S-Bahn Tiergarten behind the Mercedes-Benz Showrooms at the Spree, just walk up north from the S-Bahn. It is called Beach @ the Box http://www.beachberlin.com or something like that and is a really new and big Beach Bar with a Club right next to it. Wednesdays there is an Afterwork Event with 2:1 Drinks and free Grill… nice idea but we had to wait about 1 hour to get something to eat.
I will keep you posted which locations I will find in the future… until then stay tuned and WRITE COMMENTS!! If there is something you want to know, ask and I have new quests here in Berlin
Well ok just to test some new features of Windows Vista, this is a test using the new Windows Live writer to input data into the blog via RC-something XML…!? I dont know exactly what this protocol does but it works just great. Nice!
As usual, there were many Protests and street fights along with them. In Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain was heavy war and fights between the lefties and the police. Here is an article about the whole drama that was going on. The Valpurgisnacht was not at Mauerpark (PBerg) as usual but at Boxhagener-Platz in Friedrichshain. Personally I dont get the whole brutal protest-thing – write a song you guys it has a much higher impact – this way your message will be distributed faster and clearer…
The good news: I stayed home and survived
Oh I forgot to Publish this post last weekend, superb. Now then… Happy eastern everyone. I am spending these few days at home in southern Germany – where the world spins a lot slower and the people speak my language To celebrate my return, I climbed a mountain. Yes this is what we do in the south because we have such things here. I attached some pictures to give you a better impression what I am speaking of.
Right now I am sitting in the garden enjoying the morning sun and listen to the various kinds of birds. Deep blue sky and 25°C – this is really amazing. For future notice: This is the best way to relax and let the mind wander. Who needs expensive vacation trips if this is a quite cheap and easy way to recharge your batteries for the city-pulse.

Today I bought a bike. Wow great news you might think, now he totally lost his mind. No! I thought this one through. The good weather today of course had a great impact on my decision. So I woke up this morning and took the S2 + U5 to Samariter Street in Friedrichshein (http://www.bikeparkberlin.de) where I heard is a bike shop selling used bikes for 39€. There were many bikes unfortunately no bike cost 39€. The cheapest I saw was about 70€ and it crossed my mind that maybe some soldiers in WW1 used it to deliver some kind of mail – yes horribly old – this bike wasn’t “used” it was already dead for years. This is why I spend a little more but my new bike (with chain, air-pump and lamps) can be cycled.
So I just arrived back at home from my first half-day bike tour from Friedrichshain to Charlottenburg with many detours and a few breaks on benches in the sun. What a great day today! Only problem is: My tushie hurts
