The last week and a bit has been busy. I had German classes all last week from 9am till 12.30, which is tough if you're out till 2 the previous evening. The classes were fun and it was good revision for me. Und jetzt, kann ich gut Deutsch sprechen - well, sort of.
There's also been many friends arriving and departing this past week, which has inevitably involved lots of socialising, and socialising late. Been to 1 or 2 art exhibitions - one at which our friend Marte was showing. She's very good. Click HERE to see for yourself.
Also saw Neoangin perform. He's a super 'pop' artist. It was the finale of a street art exhibition in celebration of the anniversary of the fall of the Wall - Wallbreakers. There's a short clip below. Great tracks and fun performance, including a link up via skype with a friend called Jon in Nottingham who did live drawing.
Yesterday was the Mauerfall 2009 celebrations. I was at the Brandenburger Tor and watched the final dominoes fall. I would like to say it was emotional (and there were segments of the programme which pulled at your heart) but on the whole it was just extremely wet and cold, the whole programme was far too long, and the fireworks weren't that impressive owing to the fog. Brown's speech was o.t.t. (his wasn't the only one). 'The UK will always be at the heart of Europe'. Yeah, right!
Coming-up this week: museums and a bike ride (if the weather stays nice).

I must say how impressed I am with your technical skills! The whole evening of Mauerfall looked pretty wet, which must have been quite disappointing. And as for good old Gordy babes....Michael Gorbachev looked really shocked by the music and fireworks! Must be his age, past his bedtime and all that!!!
