A Polish Disaster
Someone tried to convince me that the world would end in 2012, citing numerous scientific sources and a soon to be released movie starring John Cusack. Said person works for the army, a vocation which, ironically, poses more of a threat to civilization than lost Mayan almanacs.
Anyway, the most credible threat seems to be Geomagnetic Reversal: Our poles switch and North becomes South. This, he said, would occur “instantaneuously” causing Earthquakes (presumably because the Earth would spin the other way) , Volcanic Eruptions (Magma would swim the other way) and Tsunamis (Poor fish).
I wondered if this would have any bearing on my toilet’s flush direction, but after brief investigation, happily, it seems like it will not.
Leon
Occasionally I find a place that really makes me want to learn how to cook. One such place is Leon, which opened in 2005 and now has 8 restaurants around London.
They serve the best kinds of meals: Small, fast and keeps you full for hours. Read the menu. Everything is peppered with seeds, nuts and berries.
If Uniqlo is the king of fuss free clothes, Leon is currently the king of fuss free food.
Ideally my diet would consist entirely of Leon catered breakfasts, lunchs and charbroiled steaks (just to keep the daily carcinogenic intake high)
There are a number of things that make Berlin a great place to live
1. Ostensibly, the Zoo is at the centre of the entire transportation network.
2. Neighbourhoods actually feel different. This might just be a Singaporean complaint
3. They have COS outlets. COS is basically Zara for minimalists so naturally I think its the Bees Knees. I would rank it second behind Uniqlo but what do I know?
4. The rest of German retail sucks.
5. There are way too many gardens to count. You may purchase excellent beer in said gardens.
6. I like the way people lay claim to buildings for housing, retail and F&B. New things spring up all the time.
7. Everybody drives a German car.
So yes, Berlin currently sits atop my list of awesome cities. However, i haven’t visited Scandanavia yet and my stopover in Tokyo was inexplicably spent in a temple.
This shoe collection is getting quite ridiculously out of hand. However, I promise you can get away with JUST these 6 pairs and never have to buy another again. Except maybe black. But i hate black.
Back!
Prague.
Vienna.
Berlin.
Photos were ok. I have a most impressive collection of Czech Sky rendered Blue to the point of absurdity by my quirky little camera. The camera itself is so delightful I feel inclined to give it a name.
I would have liked to have taken more street photos like this one but the crowds made it difficult and downright frustrating at times.
Next post, Berlin and the ridiculous epicentre of hipsters.
