48 hours neukölln

our district celebrated art this weekend, with 48 hours of concerts, exhibitions, talks, tours, performances, open doors and lots of other cool stuff. the particular thing about this festival is that it happens all over the district, inside art galleries, courtyards, cafés or even ordinary people’s living rooms! you walk down the street, and when you see the sign – go in and check it out!


the result is a mix bag, but there’s always interesting things to be seen. this year, the highlight for me was the visit to the puppet museum. the lady there was super-enthusiastic about her job and the history of the musem, and even let us try handling the marionettes! i gave it a go…

…but it was hard work just trying to walk! :D

mogu mogu taiyaki

finally! after months on the prowl, we’ve tasted the elusive taiyaki! we’d been looking for this particular stall of fish-shaped cakes on the street markets for such a long time that i’d already given up hope of ever catching them… and then on a cloudy sunday, in the middle of nowkolln’s flohmarkt, there they were!


we couldn’t resist the red bean one… it was a good choice. the taste was so familiar and yet so hidden in the back of my mind… it was like being swept by this wave of asia-longing! can’t believe i used to get annoyed when i mistaked red bean for chocolate on croissants, and now look at me, reminiscing of it… *sigh*
