Today we went to Stine's apartment before going out to find me a subject. Her neighborhood is terribly cute. There were so many shops full of handmade and European things, but we didn't have a lot of time.
We finally arrived at the much-discussed children's farm, where they do NOT in fact farm children but rather allow children to play with animals and build play equipment. There, we met my subject, David, and a few others, including the charming Nino
and equally endearing Ludwig
They were not at all evil like American little boys. They were actually very pleasant and sweet.
The door says, "Hakuna Matata."
Then the three of us had lunch at the Thai restaurant again
before Michelle and I headed back to Kreuzberg to visit her subject at Another Country, where I bought a bunch of used books including a British version of The House of Paper. I went camera crazy on the way there, annoying a great many Berliners with my touristy invasiveness.
We finally got there and had coffee while Michelle fretted about what the lighting would be like in Another Country.
Kreuzberg is very cool. Stenciled art graces the walls and there is graffiti everywhere you look.
