Am Sonntag Cafe und Koffee

On Sunday, everyone go for a brunch with friends or drink coffee in the afternoon in Berlin. Just my experience, as all of the supermarkets and some of the stores or shopping mall are closed, I find nothing to do and even more serious, nothing to cook with the empty fridge. But anyway, today I join for brunch in the morning and visit the flea market alone in the afternoon. And after that, go for another coffee. I stay in a cosy coffee shop and take an hour break. There were a pair of lovers or friends sitting in the corner and keep writing something like doing homework. I like their way of communicate. they seems not enjoying the sunshine, just writing or looking at each other, living in their own world. The church bell rang regularly on Sunday, I keep finding the way to go.

星期天,柏林人愛相約去吃 sunday brunch 或下午茶飲咖啡。以我經驗所知,所有的超市或大多數的購物中心都關門,而認真的說,我常忘記了,就算我逗留了三星期,還是突然記起,弊,原來雪櫃沒什麼糧食,很慘。今天我亦與朋友晨早出發吃 Brunch 去,下午一個人到了跳蚤市場,然後找了間咖啡店休息,這咖啡店感覺舒服,而在角落有對不知是朋友還是戀人,總是在忙於做功課似的寫東西,間中對望談笑,在這世界裡只有他們兩個人。我很喜歡他們的溝通方式。星期日教堂的鐘聲經常響起,我繼續在路上。

Reichstag’s magic

The great Berliner historical building, parliament which is called Reichstag, was firstly built in 1894. But actually, the dome was the modern part decided by Norman Foster. And right now, according to the tour guide of this evening, Norman Foster had the copyright on every single item of the interior and whole project of the parliament. Which means… even add on one more rubbish bin, they have to ask for his approval. Anyway, the dome is  amazing. He used a mirrored cone at the center to reflect the day light. At night, it becomes more like a magic show.

Casa Camper always the best in town

I can never use a word to describe this boutique and stylish hotel which I always in my mind…Casa Camper…which I found the first one in Barcelona. Their design is even more crazy. The living room and bedroom separated into two rooms by a hotel corridor. But anyway I love their second one in Berlin more, just simply because I like Berlin. In Mitte, the city center, stand in the corner of the street. You may always enjoy a scene of bustle and excitement.

難以用字詞去形容這間有個性的小精品酒店,而他經常在我的記憶裡,名字叫 Casa Camper,首間發現於巴塞隆拿。老實說,巴塞的 Casa 的設計更加 Crazy,睡房與客廳,竟然可以相隔一條酒店長廊,卻區分兩間房。但無論如何,我愛的是柏林的 Casa Camper,只因我比較愛柏林這城市,它位於市中心熱鬧的 Mitte 區,而你就可身處在最繁華之角落,透過玻璃窗,在寧靜的空間,看着鬧市的繁忙。

Strike in Berlin today

Its not a good news for tourist today which BVG decide to strike. All of the pubic transport including U-bahn, tram, buses were all stopped to run. We can only travel by S-bahn…what happened to me…which is easy to imagine….. It took me double time to find the way and also traveling time were extremely….long!!!!

今天,柏林的 BVG 鐵路工會舉行罷工,影響至所有路線除了 S-bahn 都停駛。對旅客來說,實在不便,而且碰巧是柏林電影節舉行尾聲。從 S-bahn 月台搭車也很混亂。不過柏林人普遍也支持工會行動。
