I very recently returned from the Don 2 The King is Back Team Premiere. It took place at the beautiful old-school cinema Delphi Filmpalast (on Kantstraße near Bahnhof Zoo) and featured Bollywood’s biggest star Shah Ruck Khan as Don the King, a drug baron of absurd proportions. An Indian friend of mine worked on the movie [...] Continue Reading…
Newly appointed Hertha coach Otto Rehhagel did not have an auspicious beginning in his new trainer’s job losing to lowly Augsburg, themselves candidates for relegation 3-0 on Saturday.
While giving due credit to FC Augsburg whom he said fought like lions, he made it clear that very basic tactical changes need to be made – it is clear that Hertha is not Barcelona [...] Continue Reading…

Wherever you walk in Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg these days you are never more then a few hundred meters away from either a Frozen Yoghurt or a Bubble Tea palour. They often seem quite nice and stylish – apart from their sometimes questionable colour scheme – and I really like [...] Continue Reading…
You have surely heard that age-old adage “I’m a poet and I know it”, right? Well, that’s me. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I came across a special concert of words the other day, displayed on a little wooden bill-board happily - albeit somewhat inconspicuously - dangling from the mesh of a lone fence near the handsome Elisabeth Church in Mitte.

Pastor Gauck -foto Wikipedia – source J. Patrick Fischer It has come to light that Gauck described the ‘Occupy-Wall-Street’ movement as “unspeakably stupid” after people had demonstrated against the power of unfettered global financial markets.
