Mauerpark is our park



There is this park in Berlin which I like very much to visit on Sundays: Mauerpark. Although it has become very popular among tourists, Berliners also enjoy their time there. I went there to the karaoke, the atmosphere was nice as always, but the participants I saw where not the hit.

So we went for a walk and a bit further we bumped into the most incredible thing: a real club in the middle of the park with two djs. It had started short before, it was around 3.30pm, the sun was shinning and perhaps a dozen of people were dancing. I started dancing immediately. The djs were extremely good, people started gathering, and soon it was an amazing party with maybe 450-500 people dancing the best electronic music ever.

In fact, it didn't make sense at all: it was chilly, open air, the sun was shining, nobody new anybody else, and still everybody was really enjoying the party. There was not a concrete motive to celebrate or, rather, we all were celebrating the first sunlight of the year, because when you live up in the North then you learn to treasure every single gram of sun.
Berlin is an amazing city, offering you always some hidden surprise to curious people. I can just imagine something similar (plus beach) in Tel Aviv...

Sundays at the Mauerpark

Berlin is an amazing city which combines the international atmosphere of cities like Paris or New York with the terrible history of the XX Century and offers the advantage of an inexpensive living. Berlin is sexy and crazy, offers unexpected surprises and pleasures and happiness. In winter is a bitch, but is one of the greatest places if the sun shines. Like last weekend, when I moved back to Berlin.

The Mauerpark has become for me the nicest place to be this year. An English guy who delivers by bike messages and packages had the idea of singing with a karaoke, and it has developed to a mass phenomenon. More and more people gather there, you always meet friends by chance, the mix of Berliners and tourists is as friendly as during a World Cup. And this weekend I even saw a guy having his hair done!

I love Berlin!

[Update: this guy just uploaded my video on his Facebook :-)]

Karaoke reloaded

These guys asked me for material and made a clip of the Ice, Ice, Baby song at the Mauerpark some days ago. It gives a more accurate impression of the Sunday karaoke.
