If you were around Gendarmenmarkt a few days ago, you saw something quite spectacular. World-renowned chinese artist Ai Weiwei turned the columns of Konzerthaus Berlin into something different. Thousands of orange life vests covered the columns turning them into pillars for the refugees that are arriving every day in the greek island of Lesbos. The installation is a part of Cinema for Peace, a fundraiser gala event that happened on February 15, 2016.

Most people don’t know but there is a piece of Africa in Berlin and you can find it in Wedding, a district north of Berlin. There you are going to see the African Quarter of Berlin and we only manage to discover that because we were invited by With Locals to try one of their tours. Once we took a look at what was available, we knew we had to explore Wedding with Henning, our connection with the African Roots of Berlin.

When it comes to beers, we like to try different things. We like to try something that you cannot find in the supermarket or the spots here in Berlin. This is why we always go to beer events and this is how we managed to find a way to visit the guys at Bierfabrik here in Berlin. We met the guys from Bierfabrik during Braufest Berlin 2015 and loved their beers and we knew more people needed to know about them.
