Berlin-go

Da ich jetzt hier eine wirklich lange Zeit keinen Beitrag mehr geschrieben habe – sorry for that – wird es mal wieder Zeit. Topic: Einige Locations, die man gesehen haben sollte:

Restaurants

Karneval der Kulturen – Super multikulturelle Riesenveranstaltung (must see!)

Wohnzimmer – im Prenzlberg, geht dort einmal frühstücken, sehr retro

Con Viet – Klasse Vietnamese nahe Alex, wirklich mal was anderes

Sage restaurant – Nahe Ostbahnhof – wow, verdammt lecker und coole location

Brauerei Lemke – am Hackeschen, immer wieder leckeres Essen und vorallem gutes Bier

Strandbars in Berlin

Traumstrand – nahe Hbf, ab 23 Uhr wirds dort interessant, vorallem da es ewig offen ist

Bundespressestrand – etwas größer leider öfters mit seltsam lauten kostenlosen Tanzkursen

Playground – Wer beach-volleyball spielen möchte, hier hat es vieeel Platz

Bar25 – ok

Oststrand – typisch Friedrichshain-style

Strandgut – Ist meine liebste Strandbar nahe o2-world

Beach@theBox – ganz ok, mit einem club verbunden

Strandbar am Potzdamer Platz – Cocktail des Tages ist ganz lecker!

hi there! long time no see! i know i am to blame, have to get back to blogging a little more frequent. well lets see what happend in the end of 2009. i went to the opera: mozarts zauberflöte here in berlin. really nice piece -  the only thing that bugged me was that papageno was played a little too good and self-confident – but who am i to criticise these people casting the wrong performers. also i’ve seen the “we will rock you” musical. really good, nice music, liked it!

A little hint for all those Berlin insiders out there: Go to grill royale – best steak and tiger shrimp i’ve eaten ever!

we spent silvester at my place and took a trip to Brandenburger Tor just before the fireworks started. Just walked to the front of the party, last year there were much more people there – maybe because this time it was snowy and fracking cold.

And I watched Avatar 3D twice in the movies! Just a beautiful movie with a great world, I love Pandora. I think flying rocks a pretty cool and I always had a thing for glow-in-the-dark trees and plants – just cute.

Another post on the topic “weekend activities”. Last weekend – well it has been a few days to digest all the activities but I have to write now otherwise I forget – i did many things

Solarbar: A really really great place to spend time after work or weekends with a great view over Berlin and good cocktails. Unfortunately the staff tried to rip us off – they seriously wanted 172€ from me and i only had 2 cocktails and a beer. Nice new tactic to tell the waitress “i am with them and pay later” and then just leave…

Some italian guy tried to rip me off with some armani clothes out of his car. He said he gives me a present (6 nice shirts ) if I get him some gas-money. Ok I said I have 20€ and he was like I need much more and the he wanted his “present” back… stupid squid!

Then we stumbeled across a filmset from the new Pierce Brosnan (forgot the name sounded like a biographie of some guy…) movie with a lot of London cars, cabs and busses. I always thought it would be cheaper filming english streets in England…

After that Madame Tussauds was the next topic on the agenda. I visited MT in London a few years back – was better I think.

Pergamon museum: If your motivation-pool for the day is down low, dont go there. You really have to take your time. I will have to visit again to have a closer look on all the impressive sculptures and temples.

Rocco: A very expensive touri-restaurant at Hackescher Markt – first impression. After eating an Apfelstrudel there you will change your mind – very nice!

Osteria Caruso: If you want to eat a really good pizza, go to Potsdamer Platz and order there. Very big, very tasty and the location is sweet in a quiet street parallel to the Platz. I think not every tourist find this place.
