...Berlin......................................: Thoughts about the story of Saint Martha
http://saskialouiseberlin.blogspot.com/2006/07/thoughts-about-story-of-saint-martha.html
Thoughts about the story of Saint Martha. Today is the day of Saint Martha. As I hear the church bells ringing from the near by dome, I read the story of Martha and Mary again. Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her". I'm not so sure. Para; Samstag, Juli 29, 2006. Malaysia Blog, in German (Dec05-Jun06). Kritische Wirtschafts...

...Berlin......................................: Juli 2006
http://saskialouiseberlin.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
We have a beautiful German word that tries to describe that exasperation you feel when you think about how incomplete you and and world are. Literally translated it means "world pain". It's more of a romantic and melancholic word, but I don't feel melancholy or romance when I read the newspaper in the morning. Often enough, tears of anger shoot into my eyes, I'm scared of how cruel humankind is and I'm exasperated. I learn from my mistakes and constantly try to become a better person.

A daily routine. french lessons and amnesty. Finally it has rained. For days it had been scorching hot and the city was yearning for some rain drops. This morning the air smelled soft and cool and a bit like soil. The course takes three hours every day and completely messes up my brain. All these complicated sentences and verbs!

...Berlin......................................: Zero C.o.k.e.
http://saskialouiseberlin.blogspot.com/2006/07/zero-coke.html
Zero C.o.k.e. The Coca-C.ola Company has launched a pseudo- new product: The same old brown shit in new bottles with expensive new labels. Their campaigning is disgusting. They spray their graffiti everywhere on our streets and suggest to be some hip grassroot movement. Why we hate Co.ca C.ola:. Http:/ www.thezeromovement.org/. Para; Freitag, Juli 28, 2006.

http://saskialouiseberlin.blogspot.com/2006/08/what-im-currently-reading.html
What I'm currently reading. Is "Islam and Democracy" by. A Moroccan sociologist. Her writing is beautifully poetic. The first pages are about why in her opinion the Muslim world is scared of Western democracy. She says many ideas of Western democracy reflect an old Islamic dream that Muslims have so far failed to accomplish due to the reign of selfish and powerful caliphs. Para; Mittwoch, August 16, 2006.

Train journey, copied from the diary, 04th August 2006:. Earlier, I got the backpack down from the top of the wardrobe, it felt good to pack again, even if it's only for a week. I'm on the train on my way to the " attac summer academy. In Karlsruhe in the south of Germany. My hometown Berlin is in the north east, so I'll have to travel across the whole country.

...Berlin......................................: Back in Berlin
http://saskialouiseberlin.blogspot.com/2006/07/back-in-berlin.html
I've been back to Berlin now for almost two weeks and have still not quite got used to it. It's strange to be back, it always is. The atmosphere was amazing during the last few days until yesterday we were woken up from a black-red-golden dream by the Italians. Before that, people in the streets were so happy, so cheerful and so friendly to each other. Yesterday, it all came to an end, we walked home quietly. Para; Mittwoch, Juli 05, 2006.

...Berlin......................................: I'm a tourist at home
http://saskialouiseberlin.blogspot.com/2006/07/im-tourist-at-home.html
I'm a tourist at home. What a waste to take your home town for granted! I've known that for ages, but I remember it everytime I go away and return. Berlin is a great place and I love being here. I love how there's history in every single pore, how you can lie down in the park in the city centre, how Berlin is chic and often cheap; trash and sometimes posh; dirty and beautiful. I'm starting all over again, everytime I come back here. I went on a tour last week, through Kreuzberg. And raised their children...
