Berlin police recently demonstrated at their Hamburg visit, that the capital knows how to party. Today it was the LGBT(etc.) community’s turn. Warm temperatures went along well with everybody’s desire to wear as little as possible. Somehow… animals were quite the thing this year. I don’t think it was that prevalent in 2016. And of course, lots of costumes and paint. What’s the church’s current stance on gay marriage?

There’s a big change ahead! On the 31st of this month I’m expecting to receive the keys to my new place in the borough of Pankow. By then it’ll have been more than 15 months since I moved out of the last place in Stuttgart. Since arriving in Berlin, my priorities have changed a fair bit.

Montreal or “Mon réal”, as they pronounce it in French. So square, every street is a straight line.

Left Reykjavik some 2.5h late. Flying over Greenland was stunning. Had some minor issues at immigration but at 20:00 I was on the bus into the city.
