it's the end of the week already -- time has seriously been escaping me.
i met with berit uhlhorn wednesday afternoon. it was a whim to avoid communication through e-mail (or lack thereof) and drop by tatau obscur. my general idea of where it was -- near potsdamer platz -- was lost when my walk around the block turned into an hour of trying to find my way back to the u-bahn station. what was supposed to be 20 minutes of simple public transportation turned into two hours of aimlessly walking through berlin, but the place is gorgeous. the portfolios are just amazing. some of the artists make tattoos that look like block printing or screen printing... very andy warhol-esque. berit is beautiful, and i know that she will make for a great focus. everything about her is interesting -- her job, the company she is in, her look, her city. spending the day with her for my project tomorrow should be exciting.

after i met with berit, i took a bus back to the hotel. kevin, lora, and i went around the corner and experienced an indian food sensation for dinner. we ate outside as it was getting dusk as the people walked by, and i could really do that forever. i'm so excited when i'm hungry here because there are so many things i want to eat, and they're all so close to where we are staying. a few of the girls went out that night with one of our german contacts, but the three of us in addition to carolyn and vince went to an irish pub in the market square. it was a little tricky to find, and at one point vince asked for directions from two guys talking to, what turned out to be, a postitute. we were chased away as she was flapping around and saying, "can't you see i'm with customers?" we did find it, though -- i did a victory dance.
people approach a u-bahn train.
it rained for most of today. i slept in a little before dumping and working on pictures. michelle, emily, vince and i ate vietnamese for lunch, and then i stayed behind last minute while michelle and emily went along to michelle's contact for her project. it started raining sheets of rain when i got to my road, and i was really disappointed to find out that most stores were closed today in honor of the german's version of father's day. i found a lot of the girls on their laptops and in their pajamas when i got into the lobby -- the rain wasn't very motivating to be out and about; however, i did tag along for kevin's interview. he took photos of philip, a musician, who was having a show with his band. it was a lot of fun to mingle around the locals and talk to new people about where they live and where they have been, etc.
