2 Hand Berlin, originally uploaded by enchans.

Berlin, and I have strolled around the whole day doing merely nothing. Have been looking for second hand shops, found a couple, bought a jacket in one of them while it was cold this morning and I had forgot to bring my jacket form Stockholm.

Been walking around with a “falafel in bred” in my hand looking at people and laughing at myself when I, time after time, dropped food in the crinkles of my scarf where the pieces of food waited for me to pick it up or shake it off.

I ran through Mitte in order to meet M for a while and pointed Ms family in the right direction before leaving to meet up N at his job in a vegetarian burrito shop. Amazing food btw. Pflüger strasse.

Together with two of his friends we went to sit by the canal sharing stories and taking about the wonders of life. Why people riding boats always wave, while people in busses and other transport doesn’t (and right now this became a silly play with words). But yeah, seriously, that’s one of the things we talked about. Among other things. People, society, the world.

While N had to get back to the apartment, I went for tacos at the burrito place and sat there until I realised I wanted coffee and a wine.

So here I am. At Le Johann Rose, a little bit further down the same street as before. The same place I managed to grab a quick beer last time in Berlin while waiting for my bus. Now I’m enjoying a glass of Rioja after a cup of coffee listening to recorded piano tones that fills the room. Agnes Odel, sound a lot like Soley.

Berlin is lovely as usual. I’m amazed by the kindness of people and surroundings.
