Statistics show that the biggest slice of the population pie lives in cities. Has the urban landscape become mainstream? Once again we are back in Berlin. Its Mitte district was once the place for creatives, today it is the domain of the young and urban professionals. They are not always warmly welcomed in the capitol.

Graffiti an underground phenomenon? It has surfaces, but still has some ragged edges. Rock and Roll. Fresh fruits for hungry tourists. When Rap goes stretches limo, we might have to reclaim it.

A sunny sunday at the Mauer Park, strolling through the local flea market. A unique place to dig some gold, buy used vinyl. Fresh fruit for tourists. A crowded place that has been institutionalized unfortunately. Kauf dich gluecklich. Coffee shops and eateries at every corner. Any food for the mind?

A couple of years ago Berlin by bike was the standard. Today I see more and more SUVs taking over the streets. Berlin, still "Wahnsinn" and colorful, exotic and full of hidden corners. Hamburg is said to be the new Berlin. It might be our next stop. Maybe by bike.
