this book is so freaking cute and wholesome! It explores themes of belonging, found family and queer romance. it helped me out of a serious reading slump and i come back to it now and then if i need a break from all the heavy stuff - hope you give it a try :)

1. House on the cerulean sea 🌊 This book is a great one to read going into spring. It’s so heart warming!! it makes me feel so happy and ready to appreciate life.
2. The opposite of loneliness ☀️ this book is a collection of fiction and non fiction essays from a girl who died right after graduating. I really like her work, the fiction feels creative and fun and the non fiction feels personal no matter what age I read it.
3. Bad Summer People 🏓 horny rich people play tennis over the summer and make bad choices! Quick read, gets me in the mood to keep reading more and more.

Hey there, here are some cool things to do in berlin that are not too touristy :)
Activities
~ Herzberg Golf (really pretty minigolf place in Neukölln, if you go in the evening the lights are amazing)
~ Prachtwerk Neukölln (small venue where local artists perform)
~ Berlinische Galerie (museum for modern art in a nice neighborhood)
~ Tempelhofer Feld (used to be an airport, now its just a giant field where you can skate, picknick or just walk around - i think you can rent skates or bikes there, not sure tho)
~ Humboldt Forum (art museum in an old castle, very impressive structure and they have changing exhibitions - this one is not very unknown but worth a visit)
Food
~ La Maison (french bakery in Kreuzberg, a little hipstery but they have amazing pastries!)
~ La Bolognina (handmade pasta, very delicious :))
~ La femme (turkish cuisine, they have multiple restaurants in berlin - the food is heavenly, especially the pide)
~ Sahara Imbiss (for a quick snack, sahara has amazing falafel/halloumi etc. for 4-5€)
Bars
~ Villa Neukölln (cocktails and sometimes livemusic, can get pretty crowded tho so come early)
~ Zum starken August (amazing interior, they have good cocktails and sometimes burlesque performances)
I think thats it for now, hope you have a nice time in berlin :)

try to visit as many onsens as possible, it was one of the best experiences i had in japan! there is nothing like soaking in hot water after walking around in the city all day - and it only costs 3-5€. if you've never been to an onsen you should look up a tutorial beforehand, because there are some rules that are important to know. i also suggest visiting an onsen in the city center for your first time, because they are used to tourists and are more likely to have english signs. i linked an article with some onsens in tokyo, i hope you try one and have an amazing time in japan!
