Arrival in Berlin – 9 pm (Friday) at Grünebergerstrasse, after a tiresome but cosy ride through northern Germany.
The apartment we rented through Eva Marie (actually her parents), is absolutely awesome… cosy living room, well equipped kitchen and a warm bathroom…
After a few beers and the ideal joy of the trip, both had sunken into our bodies, soaking it all like a sponge. We bolstered our pants with woolies and went for the local Laos-inspired restaurant- “LemonLeaf” (Actually we wanted to find LemonGrass, but we might go there Tomorrow instead…) The Food was excellent and required a fair amount of water.
Today (Saturday) we had an excellent trip around the city, but damn, the time is ticking away… I recall that we agreed on returning home at approx. 4pm – but because of the fascinating butiques and the coffee shops treating us with tasty cups o’ long blacks we were home around 7pm…
More photos and graphic material will be posted when I return to mainland – Denmark, but for now, I’ll post two images from our visit to the Casiopeia area, more precisely the skate hall. The first image was a wall painting on the actual building, it was absolutely awesome decorated, and there where lots… Would like to know the artist. The second is inside the hall, filled with kids, skating.

Hi Kjartan
I´m amazed you´re just caught up by Berlin and its metropolitan culture status – and of-course – one would be stone-dead if not fashioned by this cultural miracle. I hope you and your friends are doing well – and I hope you´ll get a lot of exiting experiences before going home again – but also looking forward to see you soon. But I also have to claim that you have reached professional standard when I look at your picture winter_ocean – I just have to say “Well done my son” – I´m proud of you!

Hi pappa.
Thanks a lot for your words, family’s support is a necessity and the most important for a succesfull and fertile work with arts and design.
Berlin is awesome, considering the flaw that we constantly were making our way through the city in minus 10-12 degrees celcius – we still enjoyed ourselves and kept energy for exploring new sites of both the actual physical city and the caring and joyful inhabitants of Berlin…
I am looking forward to seeing you – give regards to the rest of the family!
