Pizza, pasta è insalata, molto buoni!
The rocket-tomato salad garnished with tiny morzzarella balls is tasty and beautiful. Perfect for those who are not only gourmets but aesthetes.
Nevertheless, the atmosphere of this small hybrid food to go-restaurant place is more prone to a quick and dirty lunch time.
Location: Rosenthaler Str. 50, 10178 Berlin (Mitte)
Best address for sushi, soups, AND Japanese salads!
Things they do best: I would say ALL – finest Japanese food and tees – but could not yet try everything.
Atmosphere: relaxing, decoration surprises with witty detailes

Ein Muss für alle ‘Neuen’ Feministinnen und Feministen und alle die’s noch werden wollen!
A MUST for all ‘new’ feminists (females and males) and all the future ones!
Not totally new ideas for those who are sensitive to the current (anti-feminist) climate in German media, but for sure an interesting collection of modern views on modern women. The authors (all women) reflect on women identities (e.g. “Wie wir werden,was wir sind”), sexuality (e.g. “Knaller-Sex für alle”), but also (primarily sexual) violence against women, media usage by women (e.g. “Warum wir das Netz erobern müssen”) and media presence of women (e.g. “Nur Deko: Frauenbilder in den Medien”), the German (FRG) debate on demograpic decline and the women’s position in it (victimes of a hostile system or guilty of treason towards traditional values) (“Der Streit um das ‘richtige’ Frauenleben”) as well as the question of Power (e.g. “Partizipation: Eine Frage der Ehre”).
The authors researched an important amount of facts, statistics, citations and anecdots, nothwithstanding this package of information never gets boring (for those who can live with a view, which is totally centred on Germany).
Did you ever wonder why the wifes of public ikons rather than the public ikons themselves die from cancer?
I just read an interview with Elke Heidenreich, a wonderful columnist, excellent writer and women of letters, in the political magazine CICERO (June 2008; also check out www.cicero.de). She quoted her own health physician who treated her because of cancer: according to him, we all, women and men, carry cancer in our bodies and it breaks out when our imune system is too weak to fight it. Happy, fullfilled and healthy people dispose of a strong immune system. Not only physically but also mentally exhausted people don’t.
Do many wifes of music stars, politicians, and other public personalities suffer from exhaustion then die of cancer because of this. Is it more exhausting to stand in the shadow of a great person than to be a great person?
Elke Heidenreich is somebody who is known for her very own merits. She does not stand in the shadow of anyone. But if you carefully follow the news (tabloid and serious ones) you’ll find a few examples.
Girls and boys, let’s be great persons:)

In this category I will present one subject per week that has previously been in the press. I’ll see what the European press had to say about it and if it gives us something to discuss about. You are invited to take part in this discussion.
Let’s say, I post the subject and relevant links to it on Saturday morning, that gives me time for thinking about it all week and write my post on Friday night.
CU next Saturday!

Berlin is a dynamic city and currently many people, the young and the middle aged, come here in order to enjoy the particular atmosphere of a reborn capital.
Artist were among the first to settle and to inhale the inspiring dust lying over the ruins of the SED dictatorship. Today, many of these ruins have been torn down, replaced or renovated. Put into display cabinets and the dust being swept away – not only by an ambitious government but also by artists and presence of tourists themselves, many things freed from the marks of history seem less impressing. Fortunately art recreates itself where it is least expected. In this category I will present visions and sights that according to my esteem are pieces of art in spite of their museal location, because of their museal, and those without a museal location.
As this is an ambitous attempt, I will join some information with each posted object, that I hope you might find as interesting as I do.
Don’t hesitate posting your comments.
Cheers,
