I want to show you what a normal Sunday afternoon looks like on Mauer Park in Berlin, Germany.
I think this park shows nicely what this city is about. It’s a DIY city. I’ll show you what I mean in this post…
Play this sound recording
I made some sound recordings from around the park. Play this as you look through this post:
Make your own party
With food
And dancing
When there’s no bar, make one
When there’s no drum kit, make one
Don’t have your own mobile massage business? make one
Bring your own electricity
Make experiments
And your own entertainment
Make magic
Meet some people
It’s still summer
Don’t ask for a gig
Make your own
Invent a whole new way of making music whilst dressed as a strawberry
Play that game where you put the ball through the hoop
Or that game where you jump over an old bit of rope
And if your legs are not long enough, extend them with bits of wood
And if you’re not into any of that, go watch the Karaoke
This is just one of Berlin’s many parks. Each one has a different thing going on. Maybe I’ll cover the others in other posts, if you want?
Also see this post: I went to Berlin’s Gay Pride Parade and took these photos
