...Berlin......................................

I was on the phone with Femke for two and a half hours yesterday, so good to hear her. She feels the same: Everything is like it used to be. Strange.
I went on a tour through Kreuzberg last week, a touristy tour through Berlin's 'migrant district'. We were invited to enter a Mosque and walked through really Turkish neigbourhoods, it was great. I passed this street a hundred times, but never noticed that mosque, because it's hidden in the first floor of a normal apartment house. How often do we ignore what is right in front of our eyes.... I just now had a chat with a taxi driver from Usbekistan and he told me how his culture used to be Muslim but the Russian Communists forbid everything and now many people don't really believe in anything anymore.

The World Cup is over and the city is getting back to normal. The party is over. A shame, it was good, the whole thing was massive. Perfect marketing, it's scary.

Just spent the evening with my grandparents, beer and wine on their balcony, hours and hours of talking in the flickering light of candles and the full moon, it was beautiful.
How much was a little glass of wine in Malaysia! No sense for the good things in life over there...
