Utopia
This past weekend Cory went to Berlin to meet his new team and check out the studio and city. We were excited to move before...but now we wish we could leave like NOW. Cory said its like our own personal Utopia - a city full of artists and hippies and punks, full of public parks, great public transportation, amazing architecture, low cost of living. Graffitti is embraced as art and there are murals on everything. Cory saw like 10 public protests just during the weekend he was there. There are tons of small cafes with amazing food. The studio is in a historical building overlooking the Spree and the remaining parts of the wall. We are hoping to live in Friedrichschain. I cannot wait to get over there. Here are just a few of the pictures from his trip:

ReplyDeleteCory leaves June 11 and I go over on July 8. Yep I will be learning German - we got the Rosetta stone and then I am hoping to take classes once we get there.
ReplyDeleteSo if it's Utopia, what is there to protest?
ReplyDelete...so are you visiting the east coast before you leave? let me know!
Hey Julie-just found your site on the "Oman Davis site".
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be going to Germany!!! I have not been to Berlin, but have heard it described just as you did!
I LOVE Germany.
I think it's great you will be learning German. Jan and Dave Noble and Dan and I are attempting Russian-good luck with your move-I will keep up with you now that I have found y'all!
i thought i was jealous before but now i am reeeeaaallly jealous! you guys are going to have the best life! i can't wait to hear and see more!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome, I can't wait to live vicariously through your adventures you post on your blog!
ReplyDeleteWow I need to check comments more!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all Chrissy, its Utopia but there is still injustice in the world that needs to be stopped! :)
And WOW sister jones hows it going?? I can't believe you guys live way out there in Russia. That must be really interesting. You will have to give me tips on learning the language.
And Jen and Marisa don't live vicariously, just come visit! Jen I need your backpacking expertise!
Unless you need a budget hotel or advice on how to live off of nothing while you're there, I don't really think I can give you any valuable advice from my personal experiences there! How great you guys will have a place to live and money for food! I was just reading our journal not too long ago about how we lived off of bread, cheese and bottled water and I feel like kicking myself--why didn't we just live it up and put everything on our credit card??? It would have been worth going into debt over!:) Idiots!
