25 years of the fall of the Berlin wall

25 Jahre Mauerfall

It felt like  New Years Eve. Many people on the streets walking around the Oberbaumbrücke.  People with cameras, families and friends. The city had a great idea to celebrate the 25 year anniversary of fall of the Berlin wall: thousands of balloons were marking the path where the Berlin wall used to divide the city.

After 7 PM the balloons were set free to fly, in a domino effect. We watched from the other side of the river.

Kreuzberg diaries: Oriental Wedding in Kreuzberg

On my way home yesterday I found a wedding party on my street. In the oriental way the people were dancing holding hands on a circle while a guy with drums and another with a blow instrument were playing.

Gestern ging ich nach Hause und erlebte Musik und Gelächter. Eine Hochzeitsfeier war in Gang in meinem Kiez. Eine Gruppe von Leuten gemeinsam mit Braut und Brautigam tanzte in Kreis. In der Mitte tromelte einen Mann und ein anderer Mann spielte ein Blasinstrument. Ich liebe Kreuzberg!
