The main reason for this trip to Berlin was to celebrate my birthday. Today I’m 34 years old. Bloody old! I don’t know where all the years went.
My final day in Berlin was spent walking around Berlin, enjoying the sites, cafes, and speaking with the friendly German people. I really would like to live in [...]

Berlin Zoo is supposed to be one of the biggest and best zoos around. I can accept that it might be one of the biggest but I’m not sure it’s one of the best. Not that I’ve been to that many zoos in my time but I think even little old Perth Zoo is better [...]

Today I just wanted to go sightseeing and eat some lecker German cakes and that’s what we did.
We took the same path as our first night here taking in the major sights and snapping lots of photos and video along the way. Places of interest:

Checkpoint Charlie – where east once met west.
The Berlin Wall – [...]

Argh, I hate shopping. I must be one of the few girls born without the shopping gene. Ferbent on the other hand loves shopping and just wants to buy, buy, buy. I feel like a mother out with a small child when I’m with him. No son, you can’t have that 5000 euro watch, it’s [...]

Today started well with a lecker meal in a German bakery. A huge sandwich, a berliner (although they don’t call doughnuts berliners in Berlin), and a drink for 4 euros. I was so full I wasn’t hungry again until 7pm!
We then took a very touristy hop on hop off bus tour which gave us a [...]

This is my first time in Berlin and have 5 days to explore the huge city. We arrived in the late afternoon, checked into our hotel near Checkpoint Charlie and Potsdamer Platz, and then headed straight out.
First stop was Potsdamer Platz, a huge square where you can see modern buildings, Europe’s first traffic light, and [...]

One of the things I love about living in Europe is being able to watch the latest ‘foreign’ films which I’d never get a chance to see in Australia. Of course you can see European films in Australia, especially with the unbeatable SBS and World Movie channels, but it’s just not the same. Here, especially [...]

I happened to be walking past the Vans shop on Friday and couldn’t control myself. I had to go inside. You know, just to have a look. I didn’t spot anything I liked until I stepped into the little room at the back and what do you know, last seasons Vans for €10! Bargain!
These shoes [...]

Finally a semi decent movie after seeing a couple of crappy ones. La Fabrique des Sentiments is about a 36 year old single woman looking for love and struggling to find it:
Eloïse, la trentaine, a réussi sa vie professionnelle. Moins sa vie privée puisqu’elle est toujours célibataire et le regrette. Elle s’inscrit à un speed-dating, [...]

I don’t go to many music concerts, I never have done really but I’m glad I didn’t miss the Smashing Pumpkins last week. They were amazing!!! I love Billy Corgan, he’d have to be one of my favourite song writers of all time.
I’ve been a huge fan of the Smashing Pumpkins since the early 90s [...]
