So this weekend we went to berlins, berlin is officially the coolest city in Europe!!
It’s so big, and the people are so uber cool, great heavy food and good beer
And the shopping is so much better than nl, however dagmar and I managed to come back with a doorknob and a measuring jug for our troubles.
We walked around the town, ate some good schnitzel and went for great vietnameses food at monsier vuong’s
I had the best juice ever there, apple, mint and soda. Delish. Transportation is so cheap, if there are four of you it’s cheaper to take a cab than to take the u/s bahn (or at least that’s what we convinced ourselves of).We went to the supporters mile and saw a multitude of german supporters, and felt some of the wk fever. Next time za!!
Another highlight was the berlin Tokyo exhibition. There were a couple of artists that had a great affect on me;
Christian stadt- he made portraits of women. They looked beautiful, great detail, flapper style, emancipated
Yayoi Kusama- she made a lot of big inflatable red “thing” covered in polka dots in a mirrored room- very interesting
And finally to round off my return to my blog the new yo la tengo single, sounds like vintage yo la tengo (ie. excellent)
finally i made spaghetti puttanesca tonight (the whore's pasta) . it wasn't as good as i'd expected, maybe too little garlic and anchovy, i'll post a picture when i get it right.
bye
