US embassy opening party | Play in Popup.
A fitting day (July 4, 2008) for the opening of the new U.S. embassy at Pariser Platz 2 next to the Brandenburg Gate. The embassy gave a great party with music and, most importantly, BBQ!

Bike ride through Fläming | Play in Popup.
Having recently discovered the Fläming Skate ring, I decided to give it a try. Wow. What an amazing track. Two hundred kilometers of the the finest, widest, cleanest, smoothest bike and skating circuit I've ever seen! Fläming is a county in southern Brandenburg, flat as a pancake but gorgeous countryside. Let's take a ride through the outback on a perfect spring day.

Sustainable language school | Play in Popup.
Berlin is known for being a green city. Lots of parks and open areas. But these trees don't just spring up by themselves. The Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland has a tree sponsoring program that plants trees throughout the city with the help of local businesses. IH Berlin PROLOG took them up on it and is sponsoring many trees in the neighborhood. This is the seventh tree PROLOG has planted and this is very special because it's right in front of the school. The type of tree is special too because it's a False Acacia (Scheinakazie) and the name of the street where it's planted is Akazienstr. How fitting.

Crazy Horse performance at the Biennial | Play in Popup.
The 5th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, "When Things Cast No Shadow," opened to the public. Cyprien Gaillard's film "Crazy Horse," projected at Skulpturenpark Berlin Zentrum, a semi-abandoned no-man's land in Kreuzberg, shows the drawn-out process of a memorial monument to the Lakota leader Crazy Horse in the Black Hills of South Dakota. According to the program, "Cyprien Gaillard's film Crazy Horse is a tribute to the sculpture-in-the-making of Crazy Horse in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 1948 the sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, invited by the leader of the Sioux, began a sculpture to honor the Lakota leader Crazy Horse and Mother Nature. This monument, which will take approximately another eighty years to complete, will then be the biggest sculpture in the world. The dynamite used by builders when carving the figure into the mountains of the Black Hills, located beside Mount Rushmore, has wreaked destruction and chaos in the national park. The French composer and former opera singer Koudlam, who has collaborated on several projects with Gaillard, composed the music the artist's most recent film."

DJ vs. machine | Play in Popup.
Yet another technical wonder from the Berlin dance scene. This time we're packing the party into one single machine that functions as a DJ, light effects and fog machine. It's the International Dance Party to save the night! Of course, it is no replacement for a real, pale-faced, cock-necked DJ, but in a pinch?

Art gallery tour in Mitte | Play in Popup.
On a rainy afternoon in Mitte, what better way to get out of the weather than to join a gallery tour and have a look into some of Berlin's hottest art spaces. Asta von Unger was our very knowledgeable and gracious guide. Along the route, we visited Field in Auguststr. then onto Galerie der Kunststiftung Poll around the corner in Gipsstr. and finally to Galerie Barbara Thumm to see what Chloe Piene is up to these days. Sorry English-speakers, just in German this time!
