For your info...

...the shoe of the future looks like this.

It comes with AM/FM radio, an ice cooler for storing drinks, and a zip wallet for holding loose change. Euroblog was put on to the new shoe by a "trendspotter". These people habitate the suburb of Mitte and can be recognised by their outlandish combinations of extremely baggy and extremely tight clothing.

We are informed that, ideally, this type of footwear is to be worn in combination with a silver one-piece jumpsuit with a v-neck stripe and a mirrored helmet. The shoe should be available worldwide from August 2012. Here at the Euroblog offices we have 20,000 pairs to give away. Just send us a stamped, self-addressed envelope for your free pair (size 13 only available).

Just Döner... oder was?

Can there be any more fulfilling moment in life than tucking into a Döner Kebab late at night? Well, I'm pretty sure there can be. Your wedding day for example, or the birth of your first child. Perhaps even your first century opening the batting.

Those things are all great obviously - but can you have them with three types of sauce? Don't answer that. In Berlin Döner joints there are three standard toppings you see - yoghurt, garlic and spicy. Everyone has their favourite. I'm a yoghurt man myself, but I can see the appeal of combining garlic and spicy.

The meteoric rise to fame of the shawarma has made me have second thoughts though... It's in pita bread you see, and the meat seems to be a little more, well, meat-like. But one thing you don't get in a shawarma shop is that crazy Döner atmosphere. Just check out the number of guys behind the counter at Prime Kebab at Ostbahnhof.
