Berlin, I Love You

My Berlin trip with Anki, Cris, Iris, Marlous and Philomeen was like a little present that I didn’t expected to get (christmas is still a long way down the road). We had such a lovely time walking around Berlin and just taking it all in. The city has so many faces from stately to graffiti and back again,  just beautiful!

Berlin was like the best host we could have asked for, we had  great food, good cocktails, we laughed our asses off and ended up with some great/funny/good/hilarious memories.
And some cool stuff too, but that’s for later!

Berlin: Michelberger Hotel

Light-years ago we went on a trip to Berlin. One thing I was particularly looking forward to was the hotel. We stayed at the Michelberger Hotel in East Berlin and just by looking at the site I wandered if I was even cool enough to stay there. It turned out to be an amazing place. What was the most amazing you ask? The attention to detail in every aspect of the hotel! Whether it was de cool key card for our room or the custom designed wallpaper. Everything had such great detail and a lot of humour was incorporated everywhere. The thing that really impressed us the most was de 24/7 TV channel that aired nothing but The Big Lebowski. I just couldn’t believe that when I woke up, “The Dude” would still be there!
Here are some pictures of our room and cool Michelberger-stuff. (Some of the pictures are rather dark and blurry, we arrived in the evening and I took pictures straight away. Come morning, we had already messed the place up so much that pictures where out of the question!)

Berlin Birthday

In about 10 days it’s my birthday. And just like last year I’m fleeing the scene. I don’t feel like celebrating this birthday at all! I’ll be packing my bags, bidding you all adieu and spend a few days in lovely Berlin. My niece Maxime gave me a tip for a great hotel and we’ve already booked a room there. The Michelberger Hotel, honestly, this hotel might just be a little too hip for me 😉It’s this incredibly cool hotel run by a bunch of creative people and lead by a guy named Tom. Tom’s plan was to live in a building with some of his friends, but he and his friends ended up creating a place where they not only live, but actually run a hotel as well. Together they all put in a lot of hard work and the place looks great. At least the pictures do 😉 I’m really excited to spend a few days in a hotel that doesn’t only look awesome but has this amazing creative atmosphere as well!

Our room will be the ‘cosy room’ which is basically a big bed, but what else do you need anyway? I’ve never spent any time behind one of those desks that you normally find in hotel rooms and I’ve never hung my clothes in a closet there either. 

Cosy right? I’ve probably just spend way to much time jabbering on about a hotel, but I can’t help it. I’m kind of excited! By the way, if any of you have really good Berlin-tips for me, I’m all ears!
