‘Fever’ is a fashion word here in Berlin. Right after moving in to this apartment in Berlin, all three of us said hello to little ‘friend’ called flu. I would love to write about the dirty wet snow in the streets of Berlin and the smell of kreuzburgers (from this very nice burger place here in… [Read more…]

Today I heard the best attempt to persuade me to donate for some kind of charity, while walking on Taxim street. I walked alone on the street, searching for some pharmacy store, when this guy made a enthusiastic little jump in my way to get attention.

Found a really nice workspace! It’s a cosy café called Leylek -just around the corner of our hostel- with nice customers and employees, where you can have nice salads and REALLY nice chocolate cake..

This day started with the head of Joost peeking through the door of our room, noting that I am still deeply into my Turkish dreams. Psssst, Tanja. We’re leaving in about 15 minutes! Abrupt I sat upright in my bed -hönönö still feeling in my oh so confused-looking head- and tried to make a charming… [Read more…]

Starbucks doesn’t only provides you a really nice white chocolate mocha espresso with whipped cream, but it also gives you the possibility of getting a creative peak during brainstorm sessions about the project. Our group needed it so badly, cause we got lazy the last two days after the spontaneous discussions and ideas that popped… [Read more…]

I didn’t know Istanbul has places that could give me the feeling I’m landed in a kind of ‘Sweet Sixteen’ environment or something, till today, when we went to the Istanbul Bilgi University. The students over there park their (!) cars at a parking place next to the University which is bigger than the parking… [Read more…]

The moment I write about this second day, there’s a man on the street here that’s making this really weird goat sound yelling kinda noise, trying to -I don’t know- get attention for his crappy dance club or something? But okay. Today. Alarm went off early, got a ferry to the east, went to the… [Read more…]
