Berlin Take 4...

I've been at it again!

3 Days in Deutschland were just what I needed after a rather busy Christmas... Here's what I got up to...

(See my other Berlin posts here, here, and here!)

 "RUG-STAR!"

 An amazing new bike shop that's opened up in Mitte on Rosa-Luxembourg Strasse...

 Interflug in the DDR museum... Right up my street!

 Get off my lawn!!

I found this bizarre shop near Alexanderplatz selling old DDR bric-a-brac... I REALLY wanted the 'Exquisit' carrier bag (Exquisit was the old DDR shop selling high-end western products to try and generate some foreign currency for the government...) but the store was closed! :(

Goodbye Lenin!

OK so in my last post I said that the German film Mannerherzen was at the top of my must-see list, but when I was watching the trailer, I stumbled across this. Goodbye Lenin is a moving comedy about a woman who suffers a hear attack just before the fall of the Berlin wall and wakes up from a coma eight months later when her family have to convince her that nothing has happened.

It stars Daniel Bruhl (of Inglorious Basterds fame). You must see this film - its epic!
