Berlin, my love.

As promised, here's another destination. Somewhere else to go and have a look around. Go on, have a look at the great Notes of Berlin. Berlin's always worth a stroll. There's so much to see and I don't mean the regular sights, eventhough they're well worth a look too. I mean the little things, the glimpses of daily life, the weird things you might find anywhere, if only people were bothered enough to pick them up. Notes of Berlin is a collection of the things people have spotted, the things worth noticing. It's these weird and wonderful sights, these signs of life, that make you fall in love with Berlin, if you're that city's way inclined; it's what makes you homesick once you've left. And if you've found such a piece of Berlin yourself, it's what makes you feel like you have an intimate knowledge of the place, a connection. Notes of Berlin is like an album full of souvenirs Berlin itself has conspired to bring you. (Of course, all credit to the site's collectors.) In this post, I've included one of my favourite memories of Berlin from a few sommers ago. Enjoy.
