What I learned from fasting for 48h

Spring in Siam

Cold Berlin

I planned to stay two or three months in Berlin. Ended up staying five, and I would’ve stayed more if not for the winter chill. Not complaining, but so far I’ve posted two photo journal entries depicting a colorful spectrum of Berlin experiences, save for one important detail. …
