One day after Jan. 1st..... and suddenly Berlin is all snow-white.
Whereas over Xmas we still had some 10 degrees plus centergrade Celsius, on New Year's Eve (a mere week later) we were at minus 8 !!
@Lara:
Something I wanted to ask someone living in England for a couple of weeks now:
Is it true that all those beautiful old red phone boothes have disappeared in England?
Someone told me this.... but I couldn't believe it.
He also told me that those typical London double decker buses are almost all gone..... which is even harder to believe.
I don't know if you know it...... but Berlin is the only other place in the world, where traditionally most buses are double decker.
They're still going strong over here....
(They were never red here, though..... but some color between yellow and light beige.)
