I was there an hour ago when Mr. Leonard Cohen sang the verse above. And a chill came down my spine when the people of Berlin shouted the name of the city. It was a great concert, a great singer, some great songs for some great fans. O2 held about 20.000 people that witnessed the […]

mobile.de, one of the most famous german auto market sites jsut had a facelift. From a simple site to a web2.0 design.

How do you tell an Englishman that you do not speak German on the streets of Berlin? In French, of course.
