Gently on the stream – eating, sleeping and working  while floating on the Rummelburger Bay. It is minus 1 degrees outside, my knuckles are frozen and my nose is like a faulty tap! I was hoping to catch the sunset but amid the different smells wafting through the ICC halls … well, it is easy to forget!  As [...]

Today we explored the pet-hall and it was really interesting. We are really lucky that we are still alive even after holding a live, slithering snake in our hands! It certainly felt different than petting our dogs but a great feeling nonetheless-Patrick even considered a snake as his next pet. A side-note : it was [...]

Is it peanut butter? Is it chocolate cream? Or… it is Norwegian brown cheese Gutbrandsdolen. Today, when Kristine and I passed by the Norwegian stall, we happened to see the cheese. The lady kindly invited us for a trial. I dare to say, it’s the most special cheese I have ever had. It tastes like [...]

The Green Week is all about food and animals, food and gardening, food and… royalty. Germany has been a Federal Republic for over 50 years. Still, the number of Queens has been increasing ever since. Be it the blossoms, wine or even trees, each of them has their own Queen feeling responsible for their well-being. [...]

After a long working day at the Green Week with my Tandem partner Fritz, we had one last important appointment: the press conference of the Russian Agricultural Minister Jelena Skrynnik. The conference was suppose to be held at the Russian Embassy, just a few steps from the famous Brandenburg Gate. No surprise that it took us [...]

They are pink, dotted with grey patches and you find them contributing to the ‘Grüne Woche’ exhibition in their own special way! Maybe I should add that they snort and … stink! Yes, pigs are also at the exhibition. There is actually a whole section for animals and everything around Livestock from vets to animal [...]

Ginny: Kristine, we have so much fun at Berlin Green Week today. Can you believe, we turn into a totally international gourmet without leaving Berlin?

Norway, the land of fjords, fish and … liquor. Felipe and me got an invitation for an Aqavit tasting and we could not resist.   We were offered a glass of this drink with some salmon. Even Felipe, who is from brazil, enjoyed the taste of this Norwegian speciality. It only can name itself  “Linie” after passing [...]

In hall 23a we met the cow Karlotta who offered us some nice milkshakes. We also picked up an interesting booklet which contains unique milkshake recipes such as Tatuetata, Body and Soul, Froggy-kiss the frog and several others. This is something we will definitely try at home:). At the “Melkhus” (milk house), you can also [...]

I remember it. It is probably one of the best memories I have got. I was sitting in a dark room and she was performing a role. She had two young adult sons and a husband. Her name was Mary and she was addicted to morphine. I remember that I cried, many times. Years later, [...]
