“New York I love you, but you’re bringing me down.” LCD Soundsytem’s words, not mine, but it’s funny how adeptly the lyrics express my love-hate relationship with Berlin.
The central point of dispute in my mind is the instant access to everything I want in at the same time: excessive shopping tours that cure depression? Right in front of my door. Wellness and art to ease anger and to calm my nerves: just a few steps away. Places to socialize (besides the web, ha!): not too far. What other place is as close to perfect?
About
While captured in dry theories on economics, writing a blog turned out to be the perfect escape: during her studies in Cologne Julia founded the fashion blog http://www.lesmads.de together with Jessica Weiss. And who would have known, that 18 months later this project would become the Julia’s passion? With Germany being one of the late adapters when it comes to publicly communicating on the internet, this job sometimes includes a bit of teaching and preaching while sharing one’s passion about fashion, music and trends on the web.
Julia left Cologne for the pulsating capital Berlin. She is now the editor of http://www.glam.de, the German division of the American Glam Media Company that caters to women’s interests and fashion.
