Life in the fast lane

Berlin shifted as circumstances changed.  
As the ability to adapt and grow is an indicator of intelligence, one is left believing Berlin is a very 'bright' place. 

Berlin Colours: No.1 'The Sweet'

The colours of Berlin are diversity and constant and as intense as the people and the city itself. 
It is unfair to throw all of them together in a double page spread like a big buffet.  
They deserve to be honoured for their individual and evocative selves.  
So this is the first of many Berlin Colour spreads, and the sweet colours of macaroons and faded ballroom ceilings start the ball rolling.  
Enjoy the series.

Preloved and Pretty Perfect

A plethora of pre-loved clothes shops populate the eastern areas of Berlin, namely Kreuzberg (especially West Kreuzberg), Friedrichshain, and Prenzlauer Berg.  
The clothes are sorted by colours or styles.  
They are cleaned and pressed with a great care and presented to the world with great pride.  
The shops themselves are old ballrooms, empty 1930s factories, apartment building basements.  
Even if you do not buy anything, you will enjoy the overall retail experience. 

Out of this world

There is little to say other than how wonderful that the notion of rugged individualism is embraced and is thriving.  
There are a lot of places that could learn from the citizens of Berlin.
