Another weekend, another trip … this time it’s good old Berlin, with a little detour to Mittenwald, and then Beijing.
The programme is friends, the school enrolment of my godchild, family and friends and the 20th International Conference on Supersymmetry and Unification of Fundamental Interactions at Peking University in Beijing, China.
And it all starts this afternoon/evening.
Ohh … I’m looking forward :)
This one is in German only … sorry!
Für alle Berliner und Berlinfans … berlinfolgen.de hat neben einigen anderen Projekten (z.B. der Tagesschau-App) gerade den Grimme Online Award 2012 gewonnen. Ist ‘ne Sammlung von Kurzfilmen über Menschen in Berlin …
Geht nen bisschen in Richtung 24h-Berlin, nur kürzer eben …
After quite some time, here’s another update on the movies side … and it is also my first payed rental movie from the iTunes Store. “Unknown” features quite a nice story in a very nice setting, being Berlin. It’s about a man who, after awakening from a coma, has to find out that someone has taken his identity … I wont write more, not to spoil a movie worth seeing.
“Erst wenn die letzte Eigentumswohnung gebaut, der letzte Klub abgerissen, der letzte Freiraum zerstört ist, werdet Ihr feststellen, dass der Prenzlauer Berg die Kleinstadt geworden ist, aus der ihr mal geflohen seid.”
Which translates into something like:
“Only when the last condominium built, the last club demolished, the last free space destroyed, you will find that Prenzlauer Berg has become the small town you once fled from.”
Is the beautiful, but sad statement that was made on a banner in the window of “Klub der Republik”, the latest addition in clubs closed down in Berlin. A sad tradition that has been going on for quite some time, in favour of peaceful living in expensive apartments in Prenzlauer Berg.
There is a full article about dying clubs in Berlin, specifically in Prenzlauer Berg, in a recent issue of Berliner Morgenpost (link). It’s in German though (for a change ;)
Just got an email with the links to the first Youtube videos from the Weltmaschine Science Slam in November.
Be aware that all is in German.
