Happy New Year!

Claerchen's Ballhouse

It's the last day of 2010 and I'm leaving Berlin. Yesterday afternoon was spent with 'suschna' and 'Lucy' two delightful fellow bloggers from Berlin. The hours flew by. We shared ideas, coffee, tea (and one piece of Apfelkuchen) in Claerchen's Ballhaus, a Berlin landmark since 1913. Although destroyed during the war, it is now minimally renovated maintaining the charm of an old dance hall, complete with tinsel and white shirted waiters.

Tonight the dance floor will be full of waltzing couples, toasting the New Year at least 6 hours earlier than the US and 6 hours later than Hong Kong! Ah, time is so relative.

Whether you go dancing or stay at home today, I wish you all a very

  2. Shame on me, I didn't exactly share the Apfelkuchen - vor lauter Reden glatt vergessen. Kommt gut zurück, Happy New Year to you ebenfalls.

  3. Kommt gut an im neuen Jahr und zuhause - gestern Nachmittag war einfach zauberhaft und die Bilder geben die Atmosphäre sehr gut wieder. An diese Begegnung werde ich noch lange denken, und ich hoffe, dass wir das irgendwann wiederholen können.
