Museum
I'm writing an article on some of the museums in Berlin so today I went and had a look at one - the Historisches Museum. It's got an new extension designed by Pei, the guy who designed the glass pyramid outside the Louvre.
The extension was pretty cool - a spiral glass staircase etc. I had a look at the exhibitions too. One was American Portraits taken by a German photographer. It was a bit odd that all the explanations were in German only. I liked it, because it made me practise, but a visitor woudn't get much out of it.
I took some photos too, I hope they work out okay for the magazine.
Tonight I "borrowed" (yes, the d-word, but I'm paranoid about typing that online) a Korean film called A Tale of Two Sisters. It's meant to be scarier than Ringu and that was pretty damn frightening. I love horror movies, though. I like the "safe" adrenalin of being scared watching one. We don't have a TV in Germany though so I have to resort to watching it on my laptop. Better than nothing..
I saw some jobs advertised on the Herald website in NZ for feature writers etc. I got quite excited, which was interesting because I didn't think that was what I wanted to do, but maybe I've changed this year. Of course I can't apply - it's for next month and I'm here for at least another 4-5 - but maybe later.
