290/291//356: Berlin

Little trip for tattooings.

As always when I travel to a different city it is very easy to do new things. It's a little harder when you arrive late on friday, got a full saturday and then leave again early on sunday. Still, there is so much new stuff around that I don't have to think a lot to find something.

I tried two new coffee places, a new restaurant, was at a "new" metro station, bought something at a new shop and so on. Nothing much to say about the coffee places but the restaurant was really good. I randomly walked past that ramen bar and decided to go in to try it. It was pretty good I have to admit! Since I like making ramen myself, I always like to compare. Mine are good ( I like to think) but these were really good. If I get the chance next time I am in Berlin, I will go there again. Since it will be probably in autumn and my project will be done by then, I won't feel like I need to try a new place.

I have one more session left on the tattoo so I will be back in Berlin soon. I think this time around I will stay another day or two to really take in the city. It is such a cool place that it is a shame I don't get to do much when I am there. Bad planning on my part.

122/356: Lego Heaven

I stumbled into Lego heaven on my trip to Berlin.

I have seen these magical places before but never been in one. These places that seem to come straight from myth are Lego shops. Yes you read that right, shops that sell nothing else but Lego. Anybody who, like me and my brothers, used to own giant boxes filled with Lego will understand how excited I was to just to have a look around. We didn't own consoles, we weren't allowed to watch tv but we sunk endless hours building, tearing down and rebuilding our worlds. 

Much has changed since I last bought a set. Generic castles and city sets have made space for movie tie ins and stuff for more mature people (like the architecture series). I thought about actually getting something but then I couldn't come up with a place where I could display it in my apartment so I had to leave without anything.

*sigh* to be nine again....

 look at that.. you need a stone for your own project, just buy em like that.. so awesome!
