“What happened?” “Oh fire, all burned but only storage!!”
I could see the wads of smoke from home…scary. Actually you could see it from far away… I received a message from a friend telling me that my most favourite Vietnamese Center is burning asking if I am in Berlin…. It started to burn at 9am in the morning and you can still see the…
Calm / peaceful and simply nice – lovely short break
After a lovely 1 1/2 train ride from Nice I arrived at Imperia. From their it is little under 30 min. by car (25 km). A village with around 1.400 inhabitants (in 1861 approx. 4.360) who are actively (!) with a lot of passion participating to make it a nice place to be: welcome to…
Size matters / Amazing Discovery / Collegiata S. Giovanni Battista
I decided to walk around and explore the neighbourhood a bit. The weather was beautiful and so was the church. I seriously had no idea what to expect when I entered……. Hear say: In the year 1234 the first parts were built! Latest studies declare that the build started 1333 (gravestone news!). Originally the church…
Let’s go Italy / Europe is great
My friends invited me to spend the weekend with them in lovely Italy. They bought a 14th century house in a 14th century village. Almost needless to say that needed to be explored, visited and embraced.The beauty of Europe is to get to most places without big hazzle and in a timely manner to be…
” I am joining a Cooking class.” ” Nice, what are you cooking?” “Salad!” ??
“Join us for another Cookhouse at Cecconi´s, this time focussing on perfect spring salads. Space is limited, so sign up quickly.” Ok, sounds good and why not? My friends laughed at me: who actually needs a cooking class for salads? Well it got even better: we a group of 4 didn’t need to do anything….

Standard routine: Uber. “Madame you need a taxi.” “Yes calling an Uber.” “!?? !!l” looking with a shaking head at some other guys waiting, brief exchange, he looked at me again:”‘Forbidden! Not good.” “I know same in Germany: forbidden and not good!” 🙂 He turned around to the guys asking, talking,…
Gallery Weekend / 29.04 – 01.05 / ” I Amsterdam You Berlin”
They say do as the Romans do. And because I haven’t been a Roman since I moved to Berlin which is over 4 years now ?!! I decided to change that. This year is the year. We joined a private tour in an old church. It was nice and a great soft-start into what awaits…
Home Sweet Home / ” Hey, how are you?”
I was on a business trip in Frankfurt and decided to walk to my next meeting, which is possible, because Frankfurts city center isn’t that big. Walking down memory lane, dreaming, passing by the area where I used to life many many moons ago, we bumped into each other. “Hi!” “Hi! BBB” ” The third…
Dim Sum in Berlin / Calm and Perfect for a Saturday afternoon 😉
One of my most favorite places off all in Berlin is the Chén Ché Teehaus. When ever I can, I take a bite there. It became quickly a part of my Saturday afternoon routine and served as a great stop over for my dog and me before we went back home again.👍🏽 It not just…
