here's a picture of me and umut, a friend and collegue from one of my first days in berlin – taken by another friend and colleague I (thanks max!) in front of the brandenburger tor – where it's impossible to take this kind of pics these days as the whole place is taken over by football. it's the beginning of the fan mile in berlin.
the t-shirt i'm wearing bears the picture of the finnish president tarja halonen (who looks like my sister-in-law).
