I regularly wonder whether people in Berlin are strange because they are here or whether they were actually always strange and therefore came here.
Today I couldn't help but notice a group of four locals standing on my favourite bridge linking the former east and west parts of Berlin, the Oberbaumbrücke. Three of them were tied up in flourescent orange sticky tape. The fourth member of the group had a clipboard in her hand and was asking her friends a set of questions.
Was this a psychology student with a twisted sense of humour? Or a market researcher determined to finally get some unrushed answers? Either way, I want some captions from YOU faithful readers.
The best efforts will be rewarded with a set of diamond stud earrings valued at over 40,000 US dollars and a Panasonic VCR player with the serial code removed. Don't ask why, I just need to get rid of them.

Thanks Trevor, keep them coming!!
No! What are you doing? Frau Merkel said that our community sticking together hasn't worked. She didn't say stick ourselves together!

Yes, I think the increase in red tape is becoming a serious problem in Berlin.
