Love popping into #bookshops I stumble upon while walking in #Berlin (which I remember were gratifyingly considered “essential” businesses during the pandemic)—even when they’re ones like these with no English-language books.

I did buy a German copy of Raymond Carver’s Cathedral once though in rather too ambitious hopes of improving my German—you see, I'm still at baby-talk level 😅

This is Antiquariat Wiederhold near Weinberg Park.

Got a bottomless appreciation for grand #train #stations; rolling in #Christmas vibes ❤️

"Berlin’s reputation for scruffy dysfunction is deserved. From letters that never arrive, to rubbish left uncollected, to months-long waiting times at government offices, the city’s services poke holes in #Germany’s reputation for efficiency. #Berlin’s government bungled last year’s state election so badly that courts told it to it redo the whole thing. The tangles of artless graffiti that mar many walls suggest the city is afraid to grow up." 😆

Recently, on a cloudy day: a pseudo #work trip that became a food trip with friends to a #smalltown called #TanjungSepat on peninsular #Malaysia's west #coast—the sky, sea & #beach blending right into one another...
