Slide

The clip below shows my childhood dream! When I was little (and I once was) I had a loft bed (never knew what it was in English, just found it on wikipedia). Ok, when I was little I had a loft bed and my room was on the first floor. I figured that since after going out of bed I only went down, first to the floor, then the ground floor, I could just as well use a slide to go down. The joy that would give! But in my mind I extended the slide further and further, I imagined that I could slide all the way to my classroom. No problem, except that I had to make sure that I could grab some food on the way! And now someone created my dream the other way around. Splendid! As it turns out this slide wish is shared by more people, that's why I think you might enjoy it as well.



Me, I am by now 23 days in Berlin. I have got a room in the yuppies-with-children-as-fashion-accessories-neighbourhood Prenzlauerberg. The Berlin Wall used to be only 50 meters from my house and I live in the former communist Eastern part. I live with four german people in this house in the Ückermünder Strasse, so the experience is not as international as in York, but good nonetheless. I will live here only for five months. When I left York I promised myself that I would never again go away for only half a year, because that is gone in no-time. However I did it again this time... I am just stubborn, I guess.
Anyway, Dave I am here until March 1st. If you arrive here before that date we could meet up. Even if I have already left we could still meet up in Berlin. It is only 6 hours by train and an excuse to go to Berlin is always welcome! And for the others: if you want to come and visit me and Berlin: you are more than welcome and you can allways stay in my house!
