After arriving in Berlin last Wednesday morning and finding my way to Yadiel's house via a tram and the S-Bahn, I slept off my jet lag while my gracious host finished his day at the office. That night he showed me his neighborhood of Prenzlauer-Berg, which is the Berlin equivalent to Park Slope: leafy, lovely and stroller-laden. We counted pregnant ladies pass as we ate Vietnamese food. Dinner was followed by a visit to a Biergarten. The following day I hopped on a train to Wolfsburg, an hour ride southwest, to see Zaha Hadid's Phaeno Science Center. The building is quite incredible, both in its design and construction. I won't bore all of you with the gorey architectural details, but suffice to say it is exceptional. Also, it looked as if everyone using the building really enjoyed it too.
