Sick! II
(Had to do two installments or else my phone would crash).
Now here's a perfect example of "they don't make 'em like they used to" and dammit, if I wasn't such a progressive-minded young fella I'd make a pretty good conservative cos they just don't!
These windows are amazing: they're double windows, with a foot-long gap between the outer windows and the inner. Combine that with some good curtains and that fine old radiator and you've got a Berlin winter-proof apartment. This is the room that G and I stayed in and it is very much in keeping with the minimalist aesthetic of the test of the place. In fact it was so minimalist that there wasn't even any soap in the bathroom - just a bath, a sink and a toilet, all immaculate and white like the jeans and tshirt of our towering host Dortmut.
And check this out: no right angles!
Speaking of the "olden days" (which is where kids at the high school think I'm from, by the way) getting stuck at shitty Charles de Gaulle airport was kind of a drag, but on the other hand they put us up in a hotel and we got to spend an extra afternoon in Paris (plus they refunded our tickets!). There we had a chance to see the Louvre (from the outside) and the Tuileries and this old sign.
[insert mournful howling sax here]
What a city! Perfect selection for the second act of "Inception". So dreamy and yet so controlled.

Sick! I
Have you guys seen "Superbad"?I saw this on Mitchell St on my first night home.
The season has finally changed for real which means the mercury is dropping below 20 at nights and I'm on my arse with a cold. This happens everytime the weather changes, whatever climate I'm in. I reckon I should donate my body to the BOM.
Sunrise...
...sunset.
One of the few things that I wish I'd done more of on the trip OS is take more photos of the interiors of places we stayed in. We were lucky enough to stay in apartments everywhere we went (albeit serviced in the case of the place we stayed in in Kiev). The last place we stayed in in Berlin was so sweet. Here's some studies.
Situated in the outer-inner South Eastern suburb of Neuköln - which like Northcote has that feeling of being the next..., with its combination of the crumbling with the gentrified - it's an example of prewar archtecture. 5 stories with every flat backing onto a kind of courtyard which is really just a conduit for light since there's no doors or places to sit or anything. One suspects that it may have once served as a common drainage system as well, since all the kitchens in the building look out onto it.
