Berlin Beginnings

About three months ago I arrived in Berlin about from Malaysia, and the contrast couldn't have been bigger. In comparison to smiley, sunny Malaysia, Berlin and it's inhabitants seemed dark and cold. I cast my mind back to last summer, and saw a glimmer of hope in the changing seasons.

As I waited for things to warm up, I made some foodie friends with which I could experience the city in the best way I know how: eating. Jess and I went to an "Ostalgie" (Ost+Nostalgie) restaurant that specialises in food and décor from DDR

And with Lisa we experienced the world's tastiest kebab - food so good I have to share it with all my clothes. I think discovering this place was the turning point in my feelings for Berlin.

When I felt home sick for Korea, I found how easy it was to cook Korean food here.

And it turns out some Korean games are global too - I've seen this in playgrounds before.

I've danced through the day...

...and the night.

As the weather has warmed up, so have I.
I love this city.

But I still carry Korea with me wherever I go.
