Leaving Hamburg just before Christmas leaves me with a Finnish feeling in my soul, you know, a vibe and song that is strong on minor chords. Sad, even sentimental, but melancholy with a Northern twist.
My home away from home, I use to say.
Hansestadt Hamburg.
An open, friendly, supercool, liberal-minded and cultural city, a musical metropolis.
Really, what’s there not to like.
Gluhwein with friends at the Christmas market on Allendeplatz in Rotherbaum, fondue dinner with close friends in Ottensen, friendly abschied until next time by great staff at cozy, supercool plattenläden. Wonderful kinos, shops and, especially, people. Goodbye Hamburg, for this visit, and I miss you already.
Had also time to visit Berlin and Bremen, includind cool districts Neukölln and Viertel. As always worthwhile to visit record store Black Plastic in Bremen and check out a cool pop-up art exhibition, this time near Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin.
I bring with me from Hamburg some great music, cool clothes and inspiring books and journals. Like on every other visit. And, as always, a part of my heart is left in HSH, HanseStadt Hamburg.
Bis nächtes mal!
To all my friends - here, there and everywhere!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Frohe Weinachten und ein Gutes Neues Jahr!
God Jul och Gott Nytt År!
Hyvää Joulua ja Onnellista Uutta Vuotta!
