If ever you have the time and find yourself in Berlin during the Festival of lights, DO NOT MISS!…read moreThis is a must-see event where you will find yourself immersed in lit up architecture around the whole city. Lit up you may say, yes lit up from top to bottom some with lighting that is so intricately detailed. It's a show second to none in one kick ass city, Berlin! We saw many of the famous monuments lit up from Brandenburg Gate to the TV Tower, but also enjoyed lit up architecture throughout the inner city too. I was very pleased we missed Oktoberfest and landed here during the Festival of Lights. One-of-a-kind show happening on one-of-a-kind structures that are as old as old can be.

In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich das Festival of Lights nicht nur sehr verkleinert, sondern ist…read moreauch regelrecht langweilig geworden. Vor wenigen Jahren waren die Tage des Festivals noch mit Touren durch die ganze Stadt verbunden, um die tollen beleuchteten Gebäude in den unterschiedlichen Bezirken bewundern zu können. Ich erinnere hier z.B. an den Spreebogen oder das Schloss Bellevue oder das Rathaus Schöneberg. Heute reduziert sich die Veranstaltung auf den Bereich vom Alexanderplatz bis zum Brandenburger Tor; noch nicht mal der Potsdamer Platz ist dieses Jahr einen Besuch wert. Schade, was nach vielen Jahren aus diesem ehemaligen Top-Event der Stadt geworden ist: eine Veranstaltung, die man krampfhaft am Leben erhalten möchte.

And it doesn't matter who you are or which sex orientations, as long as you a friendly, open-minded person, this place always welcome your visit. I have been there serval times now. It's one of my favourite street fair in Berlin. What is so special about it? Inside the street first, has many different kind of stand, such as food, cocktails, some local specials could be easily found here. At the other side, it got different stands of parties and clubs that help gay people or just get together. It is a great way to get to know the gay sense here. Beside all of these, it also offers some stands for clothing, accessories, movie sort of things. Some of them are really cool, the price seem to be quite cool as well. And of course some entertainment shows on the stage. It is free for the entrance. I really glad that it has such as street fair in Berlin. It really brought all kinds of different people together and celebrate it. It's also great to have some great event not just about sex or polity. People can simply just enjoy it.

But I do not provide 25 EUR or 30 EUR advance was to be paid at the checkout. So I got hold of me a cheap day ticket for 17 EUR. ;-) But what can I say? I was disappointed either have the people on the stands had no more desire or are just so boring by nature. Some dancers were a visual treat, as a woman I saw it that way. Some, however, was the boredom on her face unfortunately. Great new features, it also gave great at least I have not seen any. However, I must say it, I was on the last day there, that it was positive; I got hold of a powder compact (powder with glitter and taste) for just 5 EUR, The cost was 15 EUR. The funny thing was, many organizers were already gone from 15 clock .. Almost outrageous! Yet I've also seen some informative articles, garrantiert me the times in your store here to welcome in Berlin. Beautiful corsets fancy dresses and masks For special events once found something extraordinary. However, many exhibitors also said that it is in contrast to the last Venus has very diminished . A little disappointed but richer for the experience, then I went home. Everyone should decide for themselves what one takes from it and whether it is still worth to visit the Venus. Deutsch: Venus 2011 Nun auch ich habe es mal geschafft, dorthin zu kommen. Es Interessierte mich schon was da denn so alles geboten wird, denn ich kannte es bis Dato nur aus dem Fernsehn. Doch ich war nicht bereit 25EUR Vorverkauf oder 30 EUR an der Kasse zu zahlen. Also ergatterte ich mir ein günstiges Tages-Ticket für 17 Euro. Doch was soll ich sagen? Ich war enttäuschtentweder haben die Leute an den Ständen keine Lust mehr gehabt, oder sind eben so langweilig von Natur aus. Einige Tänzerinnen waren ein Augenschmaus, auch als Frau sah ich das so. Einige jedoch stand die Langeweile ins Gesicht geschriebenLeider. Supertolle Neuerungen gab es auch nichtjedenfalls hab ich keine gesehen. Allerdings muss ich dabei sagen, ich war am letzten Tag dort, das positive daran war; das ich eine Puderdose (Puder mit Glitzer & Geschmack) für nur 5 EUR ergatterte, die vorher 15 EUR kostete. Komisch war: Viele Veranstalter waren schon ab 15 Uhr nicht mehr da.. Schon fast unverschämt! Dennoch habe ich auch einige Informative Stände gesehen, die mich garrantiert mal in Ihrem Ladengeschäft hier in Berlin begrüßen können. Schöne Korsettsausgefallene Kleider und Masken Für besondere Events mal was Außergewöhnliches gefunden. Allerdings sagten auch viele Aussteller, das es im gegensatz zur letzten Venus sehr nachgelassen hat. Etwas enttäuscht doch um eine Erfahrung reicher, ging ich dann auch nach Hause. Jeder sollte für sich entscheiden, was man daraus mitnimmt und ob es sich überhaupt noch lohnt, die Venus zu besuchen.

The Christmas Market finds it opening on the first Advent of the year from Saturday and Sunday, it is located in the Churches environment, Landhausstr. 26, Berlin- Wilmersdorf. First of all, it is always a pleasure to be around Swedish and Scandanavian people, its just another more calming way of being than it is known from the German behaviour. This market doesn t only give you introduction to Christmas in Sweden, it is also a good way to easily understand all about nevertheless- some about, why children have so much power and word in swedish kulture (ooo nooo, not what you think, they are not the kids to tell their parents what to do, okay for the german sense, Pippi Langstrump cannot be far way, but you can FEEL the inside and outgoing of the Bienenstock, the caring of the parents in a good care way of sense on the other hand the let go and do your own thing today imagination. And it is seemingly always a respectful and tolerant communication between kid and parent/adult. After these days I am impressed again and again and very ashamed of not having found my forever way to Sweden. So, these two days help me a lot to return to my adventures I was able to make as a kid in SwedenSummer. (Why I missed it this year ?? o no.) You will be impressed by this market! You will get Swedish natural products en masse to a tolarate price, swedish nitting, swedish clothes, swedish Christmas decorating, self made, candles, cookies, cake, Pippi Langstrump and Bullerbü images, books and more and more. The kids help to sell and everybody is busy. In the Cafe/Mensa of the Church you can relax with a nice coffee or tea and cinnamanrolls eg. LUCIA: AND THEN.!!! Yesnow ..after experiencing THIS you will know what I mean, if you have a sense of any kind of romantic, you will just LOVE this!! Lucia is coming!! No, not aloneshe comes with all the liitle and bigger angels..they create their lightparade which is just so impressive and their singing is so beautiful and tremendous! This is Lucias practice dayssome time later she will have her performance and concert in a huge churchbefore Christmas! And you will get cards to come and see it! It got so popular over the xears in Berlin that they had to move their performance to a big church. Last year it was in the Berliner Dome. This year again in the german Gemeinde Wilhelmsaue (Wilmersdorf), December 11, if you are interested in getting cards/tickets you should call the swedish Försämmling Victoria church: ) , there might be some cards left. To go to the concert and to get a ticket there on that evening is very great luck, because it is so crowded there and sooo many people would just Love to get another card. So, if you have a hard time, to remember what Christmas can be all about, then come and enjoy! You will learn! (on regular life the Viktoria Gemeinde invites you always to be a part of their church, as a guest, or even more. the Gemeinde is compareable to presbyterian or german Evangelisch- lutherische Konfession. During EM and WM Soccertimes their church grows to an arena, as soon as Sweden has its playtime and you are invited to take part.)
