Luigi Zuckermann – Berlin’s Best Baguette?
Luigi Zuckermann is a great little deli near Rosenthaler Platz that does the most amazing Roast Beef sandwich. It has been one of my go to places for lunch since I moved to Berlin. I’d spotted it when I visited the city on holiday but somehow never found the time to go. I can remember […]
Mark Jenkins – Glazed Paradise
Mark Jenkins uses humour and shock tactics in his art, particularly his street installations, to convey his message. Jenkins’s work employs a number of ideas and techniques but it is his life-size and life-like figures that have always intrigued me. He creates these sculptures by taking live models and wrapping them in cling film and […]

I bought my Currywurst and Chips, opting for […]
Karneval der Kulturen (Carnival of Cultures) 2012
Yesterday I had my first experience of the Karneval der Kulturen (Carnival of Cultures) parade in Berlin. And what an experience it was. The streets were thronging with people and alive with colour. The Karneval der Kulturen is an opportunity for Berlin to celebrate the diversity of its people and many nations and ethnic groups […]
