Anniversaries and Birthdays have always seemed to me to be a time for reflection and as I will be celebrating 1 year in Berlin tomorrow, this seems like the perfect time to reflect on what I have seen and done here. My original intention was that I would be able to create a Berlin Top […]

Herta Heuwer Plaque: A tribute to the creator of Currywurst
Why you may ask am I posting a photo of an Asian Supermarket on a blog about Berlin? If you look a little closer you may see the reason.

Bier’s had come to my attention as it featured on a BBC News video about Berliners’ appetites for Currywurst that I found when researching the history of the Berlin snack for my Konnnopke’s post. The reporter […]
