Computers suck, analogue rules.

Berlin street artists have been making fun of our internet dominated culture here in the capital for years.

And in a way, I agree with them - it is kind of sad just how much time we all spend online, when we have such a wonderfully interesting city on our (icy) doorstep. Yet I'm sitting here writing a blog - ironical, innit? But hey - I'm trying to portray real city life here. Aber pardon... Isn't that what everyone is doing who writes a blog? And round and round we go.

I often think that Berliners spend so much time online due to the fact that the people here are particularly curious. Others would say it's because the city is so big and unwieldy that it is easier to have e-friends here rather than real ones. Fact is, if you only had two months of the year at a decent temperature you'd be a bit of a boofhead to not head outside now and make the most of it. Before you blink it could be all over with ice cream and picnics in the local park.

All this bedroom philosophy is doing my head in - I'm going to have a bit of a hang out on Facebook.
