omnomnom weekend

Forget Spongebob, there are rumors in circulation that I might be the best fry cook. You doubt that Mr. Squarepants? Well, the challange is accepted.
I made some burger last weekend to hone my skills.
And they turned out really well, I just have to find a better sauce.

And I ate some baklava:


Meanwhile on CSI Berlin:

bubble tea and dinner

Uh, I had such a hangover yesterday.
And I was close to dehydration and I needed to gain some energy,
so I went out to drink some bubble tea at the Leopoldplatz.
I really craved mango flavored one and I gulped 500 ml down in the blink of an eye.

Hell yeah, that was so good. I felt much better and was in the right mood to have dinner. So I went to the "Just Dim Sum" restaurant in the Ansbacher Str. in Berlin-Schöneberg and had a feast.

April weather

Jeez, the April weather is really weird this year.
There are days where you have changes from rain to sunshine to hail to snow and back to sunshine again. And all this happens in intervals of 15 minutes.
I don't complain about the weather but I have to recognize that it is amply strange. Those photos are from earlier this month:

Botanical Garden in Berlin Dahlem

A spontaneous idea took me the botanical garden in Dahlem.
I went there in mid-March because I wanted to see nice flowers
and to take some photos of them after this long, grey, cold winter season.
Sure, spring wasn't there yet, not in it's real brightness and it was still a bit bleak outside. Accordingly they didn't have much flowers in their outdoor facility when I went there. But I didn't get disappointed, the botanical garden has plenty of indoor areas. You can find numerous flowers there from all around the world. And they kept me entertained for hours,
I took hundreds of photos. Even the outdoor facility was nice.
And I'm sure that it's amazing when all the flowers are back and blooming. That's why I will go there again in a couple of weeks.
I'm sure that I will make more than just one post. This is the first set:

harbinger of spring

Last weekend I collected some ideas for new projects which really interest me.
It will take some time to prepare, to transact and to finish all of them.
But I took some photos on a walk about 1-2 weeks ago.
Spring isn't here yet but you can already see many heralds:

fancy district court is fancy

Today I took a walk through my lovely ghetto neighbourhood
and I found out that we have a fancy district court in Berlin Wedding.
Fortunately I always try to take one of my cameras with me.
But it wasn't easy to take photos there today.
The light literally sucked ass and peeing bums in the bushes and shady junkies didn't make it easier to concentrate on the shoots.
I have to go there again in springtime to get some better results.
This are some of the photos I took today:

broken window

Last weekend one of the windows in my living room broke.
It was jammed and I tried to close it just a little bit harder and suddenly the glass cracked and crashed in the backyard.
I guess it had some flaws because I really didn't push it that much.
I'm glad that the glasser and apparently my landlord see it that way too. Everything is repaired now and it looks like I don't have to pay for it.
But a couple of days ago I created a little tongue twister while thinking aboute the word "broken":

A broke broker broke Brett's beautiful brass butterfly by biting it badly. (:

Oh, here are some photos of the broken window, by the way:
