Happy Easter! If, like me, you're not the religious type then Easter is less about heading to church and more about enforced relaxation (mainly because everything is closed for 3 out of the 4 days), roast dinners, the Easter bunny and stuffing tons and tons of chocolate into your mouth. This weekend had the added benefit of the clocks changing and the sun coming out to play—which only helped the party mood because it's a clear sign that we've survived another Berlin winter and life is only going to get better. Hurrah!
It's been said many a time before - Germans, they like their rules. It might be a stereotype, but after you've been shouted at one too many times for cycling on the pavement or crossing the street when you shouldn't be you realise that there's some basis to the stereotype.
