2012!

Today I went to Stratford to meet a guy from Couchsurfing, and then we had a glimpse of the new Olympic stadium under the burning sun.

So Much Too See, In So Little Time!

So now I am back from a week in Tel Aviv, with so many good memories in my backpack. It was an amazing city and amazing people.
Even thought it is also winter there it was great to escape a could and muddy Berlin for almost 20 degree.
We had so much fun with our Couchsurfing hosts. and just walking through the city, trying to get as much of it as possible.

We looked at the architecture.

the blue sky....

 the blue water....

and the sunset.

We went to the beach....

and walked along it with bare feet

It had cute little stores

bakery sales....

sun driven water boilers on all the rooftops...

and cute egg trays

At Shabbat.....

all the streets were empty.

We walked so much, and our feet were so soar.

I ate falaffel almost every day....

and had the best hummus of my life,
in a restaurant who didn't have anything else on the menu.

We also visited Jerusalem for a day....

Saw orthodox Jews....

and visited the church were Jesus is supposedly buried.

Last but not least. I had a little time to shop,
and bought some great fabric that I can't wait to use.

I also took some pictures with the analog camera, and I will publish them here too, as soon as they are developed.

Home sweet home!

Today Berlin and I are celebrating our 1 year anniversary. It's is kind of funny to think that exactly 1 year ago I came flying to Berlin and today I did exactly the same! The only difference is that today I came from Stockholm Instead of Copenhagen. Cause this weekend I went to Sweden to be with friends.


Friday I arrived at Stockholm where I should couchsurf for the first time. I spend Friday night with my host and his friends, and we had so much fun, that I know for sure that I will try it again.
From the place I had a view to Åhlens, so I had to go there Saturday and luckily I found a pair of "Senfgelbe Strumpfhosen" that I have been looking for forever.

Then I met Aycha, and we went Shopping and drank coffee at a very cute cafe called "Louie Louie" that made me fell like it was the perfect end of a week with a Teitur concert.

We also went to Lidl were they sold lösgodis, which I think they should start doing in Germany to.
And Saturday night I took the train to Uppsala, where Simon was waiting for me at the station.
It was so nice to see him again and I had a really nice time there with him.
Sunday we made an advent wreath out of "trolldeg och lösgodis" and went to an advents gathering with some of Simon's friends.

Monday Simon showed me his school and Uppsala in the cold.

'They even had a TV tower just so I wouldn't get too homesick.

So what will I do tonight to celebrate the anniversary? I think I will eat falaffel and watch a movie to recover from a very exiting and fun weekend with too little sleep.
