Day 16: Something New - Wasabi Cheese.
Day 17: Time - I’m rather fond of the clocks on the U-Bahn. The fact that they are lit from the inside rendered the hands and the numbers invisible in this photo. I guess you can’t freeze time.
Day 18: Drink - the German alternative to Coca-Cola TM.
Day 19: Something You Hate To Do - Editing. This is my task for the week. Trying to contain the gallons of ink I’ve spilled in Berlin in some kind of form and structure.
Day 20: Handwriting - This is the guestbook in the foyer of the Deutsches Theater. The top paragraph says ‘I have laughed and cried, bitten my fingernails and and and… that was the best play and the best production that I have ever seen.’
