one sunday in berlin

It started with a new musical discovery. Rupert's Kitchen Orchestra has been around with these members since 5 years - why have I only found them today?! Their cool funk music will make anyone dance! Here's a sample I took (put on your headphones, else you won't hear the bass!):

Make sure you visit them on their website! Or directly to their YouTube and Facebook and Twitter! And no, they didn't pay me to promote them ;-) I got their CD - signed, too!

Then my trip outside ended with a visit to Café Krone, Oderberger Straße. Small, cozy, with delicious Bruschetta.

And how was your Sunday?

happy spring!

March 21st - it's officially the first day of spring in Germany ♥
Happy Spring from Munich! How was your weekend?

On Saturday my boyfriend and I went to the most Berlin-like places in Munich.

We found out that Kauf Dich Glücklich is now in Munich, too.

Then we managed to get two seats inside the famous Das Neue Kubitscheck Café in Munich Westend.

On Sunday was my boyfriend's birthday and the weather was really nice. We went for lunch at Paulaner Biergarten am Nockherberg and had a walk along the Isar River afterwards.

I really should blog more.

zur rose

Oh dear, so much life, so little time to blog ;-)
Exactly a week ago I went for a solitary lunch at Zur Rose, a very nice little café near my place. I've been wanting to go there for a long time, so I was glad that I've finally have the time to, and I was not disappointed!

Like many of the cafés in Berlin, Zur Rose has a vintage interior, using unmatched vintage furnitures and vintage wallpaper.

The food is super delicious! I had some macaroni with chicken fillet and home-made tomato pesto. Unlike many other places, they don't just give you some cold bread, but ask whether you would like some and then warm them for you. They also have free water, definitely a plus in Germany, where you sometimes even have to pay €0,50 for tap water!

Zur Rose has definitely passed the test to be one of the cafés I'll keep coming back to :)

a long, expensive day

Yesterday was a sunny day, though pretty cold.
I started what turned out to be a long, expensive day at around 13:15.
At first I went to check out a few shops in Prenzlauer Berg area, and I met this handsome guy.

Aren't you cold, honey?

After that I was going to watch Avatar with a friend, but since there was still time I went to Manolo for a glass of hot white chocolate - which is actually melted white chocolate in milk, yumm...They have cool interior:

I love glasses with this shape ♥

Then there was the movie, in 3D, which costed us €14 each...
It was the most expensive movie I've ever gone to - at least it was worth it!
Next, dinner at El Reda, a Lebanese restaurant where we had some Kubideh, one of my favourite dishes.


Last, we went for some beer at Eschenbräu brewery.

It's common to see these machines inside a brewery in Germany.

The beer coasters have picture of the brewery's owner on them :)

It was really an expensive day, but I had a good company and a lot of fun, so it was worth it!

6 hours of sunshine

This January has been a cold and grey month.
So I was very happy when the sun came out the day before yesterday.
I guess it only came out because it was very cold (-12°C).
But since I was so happy because of the sunny weather, I went out for a walk anyway.

I missed this blue sky so much. Can you spot the moon?

Part of the Spree's water surface was frozen.

Clear, long shadow ♥

Yesterday was -14°C but the sun didn't show up.
Today was -12°C again, and the sun was shining.
Does it mean that the sun only shines when it's -12°C during Berlin's winter?
That can't be good...

In the afternoon I went to a lovely café with my favourite co-worker.
I found it a few days ago during my daily walk.
It's called Café Solvey.

Please check out their galery for more pictures.
These pictures I took just don't do them justice.
I love cafés like this - I'll try to find more!
