@simon626:

There's this tea shop i do homework at…They always have cars like this parked outside...

Reminds me of Tapioca express, most of the Taiwanese international students from my school go usually :p Lots of Mercedes and 350z's

Like Giles, I also just bought a cashmere beanie.  Of course it doesn't get as cold here as it does in the UK.  I think the high today was 80 F (27 C).

@Geo:

now that I've stopped pissing my pants at the face . . . are those Dita Statesman glasses?

Yes they are, i have the smoke/gray ones, loved them so much i bought the gold/tortoise ones.  Acetate and gold plated titanium, made in Japan, yum.

@Giles:

Just ordered 3 cashmere beanies off the Bay.  Could not decide which colour to go for, the spares'll make good xmas presents…..

But as it is forecast to be -9C (16F) when we land in Berlin on Fri, I thought I better get prepped.

Damn:

Like, Glühwein, Beats?.. I once drank a bottle of that stuff without heating it… AFTER I already had lotsa beer and stuff... The next day it was as if I had eaten a marinated christmas tree...

Talk about x-mas… 

COME ON RING THE DOOR ALREADY!.. 

[Guest]

Thanks G
Sorry Beats

[Beatle]

no probs…yeah, you shouldn´t drink that stuff cold - and even hot it´s quite likely to give you a massive hangover...

[Beatle]

Oh - btw - maybe Daniel knows a good place to have Feuerzangenbowle…that stuff is sooo much better than the regular mulled wine...more alcohol

[loghill]

What's that stuff?

I have only bought regular glühwein from the kiosks they have all over Berlin at christmas time (I've spent few last christmases there).

[Max Power]

It uses Rum, that is ignited on a sugar cube… Tasty, but brutal.

Christmas - 21 bouncing…

From the UPS UK site:

Luckily I am not in the North, but nonetheless…....

Yap, winter is starting out pretty rough

[Giles]

Will and Aero have effectively been cut off for 2 days now…....Fucking global warming....

[Beatle]
