Burger at Hans Wurst Vegan Cafe

After a bit of sudying (why I am here!) and running around, I had a burger at a bio cafe, Hans Wurst Vegan Cafe, Phil and I went to Ausland to hear some music, a popular venue for experimental music. You go into this courtyard (former building foundation?), and take a flight of stairs down to this basement. Phil’s story is that it is all that remains from a bombed out building. I was unable to confirm this…

Ausland Entrance

I loved this deer horn candelabra at Ausland

The crowd at Ausland. Every gig I’ve been to has large audiences…!

The next day, more studying, but then went for a walk on Skalitzer Straße, I love stepping out of a train station and seeing the historical architecture jutting out over the apartments and stores.

Oberbaum Brücke, on a walk to Friedrichshain.

Great cafe on Oranienstraße

Drop into the courtyard, looks like a strange cross between a yard sale, pub, miniature golf course and Club Med.

Church of the Blue Neon Christ. (I don’t know its real name…)
