this evening i went with a group of friends up the fernseherturm or t.v. tower. i remember on the first day arriving in berlin by car it was if the tower was drawing us on with some magnetic force, maybe it was just the feeling of a long journey nearly ended. tonight we sat in the revolving restaurant, drank beer and tried to work out the streets by their streetlights. the tower seems sometimes like it ties the city together. its omnipresence is a comfort when this city feels like home, not so much when i feel like an outsider in a foreign capital.
