Coca Cola still top of mind

See it everywhere. That weallspeakfootball event did a number on me.

From Berlin to Amsterdam

This is the Tegel airport in Berlin. The city starts right after the trees and I feel like I can touch the people on their balcony. Gong back to Amsterdam after a week at the weallspeakfootball apartment in Berlin.

Sadly, but looking forward to the alienating feeling of flying. We humans are doing craaaazzzy stuff.

Yesterday evening

With fellow vloggers of #weallspeakfootball visiting former East Berlin. The alternative hangout.

Game on: England vs Portugal

We have people from all over the world so there are fanatic and emotional fans watching the games and people chilling on the rooftop without a care in the world :).

Ben and Matt had a very bad day…

Packed U-bahn in Hamburg

After Germany vs Argentina we had to rush to make it on time for the match Italy vs Ukraine. The streets were blocked (we noticed when taking a taxi) so the subway it is.

Germany vs Argentina

We are in Hamburg to see the game Italy vs Ukraine. But for the German friends Lyssa and Franz the game between Germany and Argentina was all that mattered. And they are already playing. Here is the video I made that day.

Spoiler: Germany won through penalties.

Me at Mehringdamm

Hello me.

Mehringdamm

Thanks for inviting me Franz / sportsguy. He knows his way around Berlin and it was great.

Football Set ZDF at the Sonytower

Went with Gabemac and Franz to the Adidas Arena. For the first time in my life I got frisked. And again, and again, and again, and again.

This picture is of the Sonytower in Berlin where we watched a movie I don’t recall.

Re-enactment

of a serious conversation between the Austria Artists.

To the ones I left behind

I’m oké (they were complaining about lack of contact so I made a video).

Der Orgelspieler

On my way back to the apartment he was making summer feel even more festive.

The feel of Berlin

A photo impression of my early morning walk (starting at 4 ending at 10) through Berlin and it’s central park.

In the Netherlands almost all our buildings and public spaces are designed and somewhat polished. Here it is functional. I like it.

Unter den Linden

I’m roaming the streets of Berlin. Going to videoblog about the worldcup football in Germany. I’m posting the videos online on a blog created by Coca Cola and I’m staying in a apartment with other vloggers invited by Coca Cola. All united under the tag #weallspeakfootball.

Gedächtniskirche

When I took my early morning walk on the second day in Berlin (video in the making) the streets were empty except quite a few homeless people.

Living in Amsterdam myself I meet the same ones (small city) over and over again and we share the public space in harmony (mostly). For me these persons are part of my daily life, I will never get used to it. Keeping up with society isn’t that easy.

Location: Die Gedächtniskirche, Kurfürstendamm, Berlin.

Regular nightly sessions

In the weallspeakfootball apartment in Berlin.

Zu mir oder zu dir

My first video made during the weallspeakfootball project of Coca Cola during the world cup football in Germany. Gabe drove us through Berlin and we stooped in East Berlin at a cafe to watch the game Australia vs Italy.

Inside Berlin

Cemetery / Playground

The day of arrival. Franz took GabeMac, me and “Der Mann aus dem Plattenladen” out to former East Berlin to see the match Australia vs Italy (see the video here).

Just 50 meters in the same street there was a cemetery that was used as a playground for kids. When we went by it was packed. The graves were not that old (50 years). I asked one of them if the bones were still there, she thought so. Would the dead mind having the new life enjoying running and playing above them?

From Amsterdam to Berlin

My first flying experience, on a somewhat big plane making my way to Berlin and the weallspeakfootball apartment. I jumped out of a small one a long time ago on a tandem parachute (with a man strapped on your back). Loved the 30 second free fall so much I didn’t want to pull the cord.

See if I can cope with this kind of abnormal behaviour called flying. The video is about the 16 expired hours of my life and the strange transition from being in Amsterdam and ending up in Berlin listening tot the birds at the rooftop of the apartment and meeting this creative melting pot of people.
