Friday my (sweet) colleague Bernat asked me whether I know a bookshop in Berlin for English guidebooks: he was quite disappointed to know that I actually buy all my books on Amazon, but I was willing to help him anyway and for free! I’m so nice sometimes
He was looking for the Lonely Planet’s book for Poland and I obviously had a copy at home, so he visited me on Sunday . Cool, he and his friends planned to travel by car around Poland starting from Krakow and ending somewhere else after one week. I had such a great time suggesting some different routes via Warszawa, Gdańks, Malbork, Zakopane and so on: I wished I could have the chance to travel with him…
He was surprised to see my Lonely Planet’s collection and wondering whether I was in all of the places whose I have the guidebook (unfortunately the answer is no) and whether I liked New York City. Well, we started a small conversation about that and we both agreed that NYC is ugly, dirty, decadent, messy but so fucking interesting (ilGrisa probably doesn’t agree). NYC is not a place, is a state of mind. I was just one week there and with just a touristic program, but I enjoyed the city so much, maybe because of the nice weather.
Btw, the weather is certainly the reason why I miss NYC now more than ever: I just wanna stroll around the village, Chinatown (eating that delicious green tea flavored ice cream), LES… and central park. I don’t like central park, I prefer the Tiergarten, but these days I’d like to visit Whole Food and have a picnic in central park.
Sunday I had my walk in the Charlottenburg Schloßpark and I felt even a little bit jet-lagged thinking about my first Sunday in NYC for the Sakura Matsuri

New York is not for little pussies who scream
If you can’t stand the heat
Then get off my street

I just watched the German preview of Sunshine by Danny Boyle. Nice things the previews free drinks, stylish welcome at the theater, cellphone seizure… Cellphone seizure? Yes, you know, I could have recorded the movie with my camera phone…
Anyway, Danny Boyle is funny. He told us that the actors were trained by a scientific mentor, a physicist (don’t remember the name), who was surprisingly handsome. Surprisingly? We all know that a lot of physicist are handsome! And mathematicians even more: did you see A Beautiful Mind? Isn’t John Nash fucking sexy in that movie? Duh!
About the movie: it could have been by Roland Emmerich. Mmm, no, sorry, this is too bad. The movie has a few nice moments indeed, but it’s something already seen, too many times. What’s new? Everybody dies, and it’s all the Japanese’s fault (I guess he was Korean), as many people said outside the theater. Actually it was the physicist’s fault
I just wished a more catastrophic end: when the sun returns to shine (surprisingly on Sidney, not Manhattan) it could have instantly melt the ice and let the protagonist’s sister fall into the ocean .
