Remember Finnish Disco Dancing? They are back...

Remember my post from last year?
Well, 28 years later they are still dancing. Should I say unfortunately????



This video is even worse: It's the Finnish version of YMCA. Different dancer though.
Please anyone tell the Finnish to stop dancing ;-)

Berlin, Berlin

Believe it or not, here are some pictures from our trip to Berlin in July :-)

Our hotel was close to the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining part of the Berlin wall

*currently under construction, they are repainting everything. Just enlarge the collage and you will see why they have to do it...*

Exhibition at Alexanderplatz
(celebrating 20 years without the wall)

Checkpoint Charlie


Random sightseeing

1) Yes, Angela Merkel works in a "washing machine"
2) Trabi
3) (Red) City Hall
4) Berlin Tower
5) Brandenburg Gate
6) Traces of the wall
7) Victims of the wall
8) Monument for Jewish victims during WW II
9) Reichstag + Garret and I
9) Potsdamer Platz
10) World clock

Garret: one foot in West Berlin, one foot in East Berlin


The "not so touristy parts of Berlin". And there are a lot of them. Believe me. Our capital is officially broke and not glamorous at all.


And finally: for the first time since WW II the urban east-west rail connection broke down due to (ääähm) let's call it mismanagement during the last couple of years. The entire system was down for three weeks and there is still construction going on.

Pictures from our last trip to Munich? Maybe after having submitted my M.A. thesis in November ;-)
