After a long pause, I feel like I should drop a few lines. My current hobby is meeting new people and exploring Berlin as I was more weekends out of the city than I spent in it. So lets start with what I explored this weekend:
- Went to Bode museum at the one end of the Museum island. There was an exhibition of Byzantine art and Orthodox Christian relics as well as many Italian, French, German and Spanish pictures and sculptures. It was really gooood. But I was mostly impressed by the gorgeous building which takes your breath away from both the inside and outside. If it was not so big, I could imagine living in it. :) The purposedly built exhibition building connects the floors through an amazing staircase and possess a huge amount of spacious and diverse halls.
- Took out some new colleagues for a drink - 3 cocktails each kept me sleeping till late on the next day and that is the reason for this post as I am still in bed. This was also the reason for my research on the meetup options, so please read my last point below.
- Looking for places I must visit and people I want to meet - this included also finding ways how to make some new acquaintances in a city where I have fairly few friends. So using the "Let me Google that for you" approach resulted in finding this article. The main idea is that you should check out the people and events at sites such as http://www.couchsurfing.org, http://www.toytowngermany.com and http://www.meetup.com.
So hopefully I will meet you at one of these :)
