Before starting the journey we plan a press conference on the 12th Dec 2008 at 10.30 am. I was quite depressed not finding a place for this conference.
But oh lucky me, that I have just visited the bicycle shop Keirin! Mortimer (owner) offers his shop including the bar for our press conference :o)
A big thanks to Mortimer! And if you look for a bike shop with an honest & fair service in Berlin, don’t ask me, but look here:
Oh I am overjoyed to have joined the network Couch Surfing recently. Couch Surfing is a network for people willing to explore other cultures by visiting people and staying as guest in their flats. Funny, open-minded people who want to present a world of no borders but travelling around and meeting new people.
Yes, I can say it. I had now many Couch Surfers of different countries: Canada, US, Mexico, Brazil, Thailand, Austria, Ireland and Lithuania. And? Oh, we had a greaaaaat time :o)
I could show them my favourite places in the hip part of Berlin. We enjoyed the time with culinary food, and talking about our life & future, phisolophies of life, and opportunities how we could support each other in future. Regarding the project, I could implement many new ideas in the project and I got helpful connections of them.
I am looking forward to visit many of them during my bike expedition i.e. me as a guest
Many thanks to all who have joined the Couch Surfing network. These are the people embodying this society and putting their wise attitude to life in practice.
