day 298: and! Since my friend Damien is in town for a few days I decided to join him for a Neuroscience talk at the campus of Humboldt university near Oranienburger Straße. There are quite a few ...
day 297: Nolle Restaurant I can’t tell you anything about this restaurant, apart from the fact that it is situated near the station Friedrichstraße and that they really have a shiny sign outside. I don’t eat out, because ...

day 284: walking in the sun Again I was waiting for the bus to the airport. At the airport itself I didn’t have much time to take pictures, because flights are sometimes even early. Well, pretty much unlike trains. This ...
