Is eating a “100 years old egg” in Berlin a crime?

Today I am twenty years old. Each day I have a lunch and a dinner like most of us have in our European countries. Every month I will eat fifty-six meals. During a year, my stomach and intestines will digest almost 2968 lunches and dinners. That is a lot, I know. But most of the Read More

While I personally don’t often set out to view nature myself, I have a lot of friends who feel a strong connection to nature.

Chasing colors

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always had a very strong connection with nature, I’ve always loved the outside, the landscapes, the parks, the animals and the colors.

All’s Well That Ends Well

By Maya Lach-Aidelbaum To be perfectly honest, studying abroad in Munich was not my first choice. Berlin was. I was enamored with the idea of inhabiting the capital of Germany -a chaotic metropole known for its alternative culture, turbulent history and radical politics.
