I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's a rip in the sky

Basically what Berliners think about Barbie

someone  IS NOT AMUSED

Barbie Dreamhouse personnel didn’t find the Berlin welcome funny at all. “They were standing at the fence and chanting ‘Burn it down! Burn it down!’” one employee said. And then the Femen activist started running around with her burning cross. The employee said he thought she was going to light the building on fire.

(….)

Until 12pm the scene was almost idyllic. Leftist demonstrators, feminists and other anti-Barbie protesters sat peacefully on the artificial grass or on pink chairs enjoying the warm May sun while small children crawled around in front of the display tent.

And then, Barbie was burned on the cross.

Whoever thought it was a splendid idea to open a Barbie Dreamhouse in Berlin? It was obvious that it wouldn’t be greeted with enthusiasm to say the least ehem ehem. I’ll count the days till it goes up in flames.

And then I will drink a cup of coffee at Einstein, sigh and think “I told you so.”

Seriously though… Berlin and Barbie?

Oranienplatz Kreuzberg, Berlin
Today, May12th 2013

I love Berlin’s waterways (did you know Berlin has more bridges than Venedig- 969 in the year 2000 probably over 1000 by now compared to Venedig’s 410, it doesn’t beat Hamburg though which is Europe’s bridge champion with 2485 bridges- and more canals than Amsterdam)

Today everyone was out enjoying the sun at the water, feeding the swans and having a picnic under the blooming trees.

Your friendly Berlin advise of the day.
