Oh, Berlin!
soundtrack for the city: Fink and Jay-Z instrumentals

Sunday: 

Arrived and got sorted at the flat I'm staying at in Neukölln.  

It was absurdly hot but that didn't stop me from heading straight to 

Meyman to devour the most delicious falafel wrap ever.  

Tastes like Christmas and for 2.50 euro it's a big win.  

I also saw part of the Die Etage student circus show at Shake!

First thing I noticed when I got to the room I'm staying at.

A good sign.

Monday: 

Met up with Katha at the Katakomben to train a bit of rope.  

Had to climb a god-awful ladder that defied the laws of physics.

sketchy.

Katha, Daniel, and Sarah post-training

Tuesday:

More training in the morning, followed by a vegan burger
at the corner bio frisch & lecker cafe.

Wandered around a bit, poked around in some second-hand stores

stopped at Cupcake Berlin.  Had a funny experience when I took

my cupcake to the park when a very chunky very blond  German baby

came up to me and was definitely giving me the hungry eye.

I was not willing to share. Awkward.

Mine.

Later I met with Katha again and we had beers at this really neat

spot that used to be the State Circus School in Berlin

before the wall came down.  Now it's just empty and is filled with

graffiti and art galleries.  Smells a bit like piss but still really neat. 

After that we went and saw Versus at the Chamäleon.

The show was set to Muse and Antony and the Johnsons
with an emo-licious tagline of:   
Es ist verrückt zu glauben, dass Liebe wirklich ist.

Totally KO'd some comp tickets so the evening was a raging success. 

Wednesday:

By now I have a routine. The nice man at Cafe Ritter

knows that every morning I like my cappuccino with soya.

Morning Routine. These little cookies are the highlight of my day.

I have most of  the day off until the evening, so I splurge and

check out a vegan cafe called Cafe Vux.

Pretty legit.

Later that afternoon I went to Die Etage

to speak with the students there and introduce
them to the magical wonder and elusive power of the C-Star.

Then I went with a few of the advanced rope students 

for dinner, icecream, and to watch the Sunlight Zone.  

They were very very excited.

SZ fanclub. Berlin division.

Thursday:

Partnering day!

We trained in the afternoon and then I went and saw

"Made in Berlin" at the Wintergarten.

Lots of man-candy. Very nice.

Friday:

Rope in the morning.

 Cupcake in the afternoon. Another wrap for dinner.

When I quit circus I'm opening a cupcake shop.

Falafel wrap destruction.
Status: murderized.

Berlin: success!

Bathtubs? So 2009.

Hot new apparatus is the shopping cart -

utilized in both the Circomedia student show in Bristol

as well as "Made in Berlin".

  
 Onward! To Spain!
