September 23, 2015 How to work at a startup: 3. Cover letter and social media by Guest Blogger By Federico Prandi. Ever wondered why cover letters are called cover letters?

25 Tourist Tricks to Rediscovering Berlin by James and Zoe Fucking tourists. Look at them – standing there in the bike lane, with a beer in each hand and a gormless grin on their face, oblivious to the bitter Berliners bearing down on them, piston legs powered by resentment and… is that… envy? They may be […]
September 15, 2015 Berlin Moments: September 7th – September 15th by Zoë Noble Recently, I was lucky enough to try out the camera on Sony’s new Xperia Z5.

May 28, 2014 Berlin on Film by Zoë Noble There is something so special about shooting on film. I used to tell people that was bullshit before I got my first analogue camera at Christmas, but now I take it all back! The look is so unique and although there are loads of filters out […]
January 23, 2014 Winter Wonderland by Zoë Noble As well as concealing countless drug dealers, Hasenheide Park contains many other hidden gems, such as… whatever this is. We suppose that, when temperatures reach positive Celsius, this turns into a fountain, but beyond that, your guess is as good as ours. What is clear though is that, […]

October 6, 2013 Music Montag: OY by James Glazebrook We’ve seen some weird shit in Berlin, but someone dragging a medicine ball-sized clump of dreadlocks through the streets? Hardly ever.

July 9, 2013 Jung Grün & Blau by James Glazebrook Don’t call it a supper club: Jung Grün & Blau is something else entirely.

May 30, 2013 Volkspark Friedrichshain by James Glazebrook One for when (if?) the weather improves! Volkspark Friedrichshain is a beautiful park in the otherwise unremarkable area between Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain.

January 17, 2013 Paper & Tea by James Glazebrook We were surprised to learn that there’s a dearth of good, exotic tea here in Berlin. We’ve always been impressed by the array on offer, varied in colour, origin and purported healing properties; it seemed to us that you can get everything except the bog-standard black […]
