Sacrifice?

We have to admit, there is no Perfect couple, no Perfect partner, nothing is perfect. I don't really believe there is another person who is made just for you, and you two will match perfectly together. Let's face it, even if there is, would it be so easy for you to find him/her out of 6.777 billion population in the world? No.
We are all individuals, we have things we want to achieve in our life, and things that will make us happy. What if your path is not the same as your partner's path, the things that make you happy might not do the same for him/her? what do you do? Is not like you don't like that person anymore, it has nothing to do with love whatsoever but is just the path never seems to come together. Do you sacrifice? Is that what we have to do? Who should sacrifice then? Is it fair to do so?

Schumacher not running again

I was devastated when i heard the news that he is not racing again, well, to be more specify, he can't race with a F-1 car anymore. He sustained injury from his Feb bike accident. Just heard from colleagues that we(as in PUMA) already prepared his cap and his shoes for racing.(PUMA sponsors Scuderia Ferrari team-from clothing to shoes) How sad.....
Another more devastating news: i was thinking since i missed this year's Grand Prix, i will have to make it next year-just to find out that our free tickets was given from BMW every year, and since they pull out from Formula one next year, means no more free tickets and trips to the Pit Stops. Argh......I'm not joking, i couldn't eat afterwards...

Berlin 2.

Here are the highlights to do:

Hackesche Hofe:

take a stroll around the Art Nouveau courtyard, nice flat, nice environment, nice little boutiques. Alte Schonhauserstr., Munzstr., Mulackstr., Torstr. all worth exploring, lots of shops. There is a very popular Chinese restaurant called Monsieur Vuong. Extremely popular, but i didn't have a chance to try it, the queue was too long, but i'm definitely going to try it next time. There are Major high street brands as well as little designer boutique around which makes it a nice to walk around, plenty to explore.

Friedrichstr.

supposed to be good too, but i didn't really explored this area, but there is a good Italian restaurant called twelve apostles. unbelievably tasty food....huge restaurant, reasonably priced, big potion, friendly staffs, highly recommended.

Flea Market at Tiergarten
lots of antiques, quite enjoyable

Tacheles art house
i missed it, it is a former departmental store which they transform it into a gallery(sort of), have to see

I would say it is quite inspiring to walk around in the city. I also have to say Berliner has a very different aesthetic, and the way they dressed is quite interesting. For instance, there is a glove which is very 'Berlin', glove which looks like a sock. Unfortunately i didn't take a picture, and i can't find it in the Internet either.... They tend to wear a lot of midi length skirts, deconstruction pieces, etc....

I stayed in Meininger City Hostel-very clean, in a alternative area, very friendly staffs, good vibe, can have seperate rooms(not traditional dorm), i can imagine to stay there again.

What are you waiting for? go now and enjoy.
PS: don't go in the winter, too cold to walk around
