Will be in Wawa from tomorrow night on for over a week. I am available for SMS under 507420537 or on my German mobile number.

On my way back from Warsaw on July 4-5, 2004, I rediscovered with a friend of mine Berlin a bit more. After my arrival late afternoon we went in the famous Palst Revue of the Friedrichstadtpalst. Famous more for old people who saw it mostly in East Germany as exciting entertainment on TV on ordinary Saturday evenings. As in the past only the privilged people could see it on stage, now the queue of buses in front of the place do not seem to end with hundereds of old people being brought to watch it. Was not too bad indeed – instead of the repeating choreography as I was told. In any case our attendance let the average age shrink from over 60 years dramatically.

Our small trip on Sunday took us from the Brandenburg Gate beside the Holocaust memorial to the Potsdamer Platz with the new Beisheim Center. All in all, a great time out in Berlin. Thanks for the good time and the accommodation!

During my stay here in the last two weeks we explored a couple of new venues beside rediscovering some good old ones. One has been the modern stylish NU Jazz Bistro, ul. Zurawia 6/12. There is not much reminding that the former club Zuraw was located here, beside the same layout of the room, but now a piano has replaced the dance floor. Very lovely to listen to piano sounds while enjoying some of their cuisine. It does not only call itself a fashion bar, but also attracts people from this business. At least the model and her agent beside us revealed it.

Right beside NU has opened a new Italian restaurant called Compagnia del Sole. A self-service canteen, which seems to be currently very popular among Warsaw’s upper class. I wonder why because not only the running around to compile your dish seems is for me in restaurants of this price category a bit inadequate, but also the dishes could have been a big bigger. Additionally, the venue could have a bit more style, not only in clean wine glasses. Nevertheless, the food is very delicate and fresh.

A very recommendable venue is NoBo, ul. Wilcza 58a. In its completely red interiors with comfortable sofas you can chill out completely while enjoying delicious cocktails.

For friends of trance tunes the club Le Madame, ul. Kozia 12, in the old town is a great place to spend the night. It is a shiny underground club with erotic photography and a bit eccentric crowd. Definitely a place I sould have discovered earlier in Warsaw.
