Berlin's Bureaucracy Blues?
So, I'm heading to the Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales next week for a meeting – sounds thrilling, I know. My aunt works there, swore it's a maze of corridors and endless paperwork. She sa… more
Yeah, the Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales... that building has a reputation. My best advice? Print out extremely detailed directions and have the contact person's number on speed dial. Seriously, even with directions, it's a labyrinth. Allow extra time – like, a lot of extra time. And maybe pack a snack; you might get unexpectedly delayed. Good luck! You'll need it.
Lost in CAP-Markt
So, I went to this massive CAP-Markt near my place in Berlin – it's HUGE. Like, seriously labyrinthine. I spent a good hour just trying to find the damn olives. I swear, they should have a GPS syste… more
Oh my god, YES. CAP-Markt is a black hole. I once spent 45 minutes looking for feta cheese. FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. I almost considered just buying a whole different dinner at that point. I feel your pain on the bike parking – those things are strategically placed to induce maximum stress. I've started using a photo of my bike's location before I go in. Seriously considering a carrier pigeon next time.
Ha! Forty-five minutes for feta?! That's dedication (or maybe just extreme hunger). The bike parking is the WORST. I swear they're designed by a sadist. A carrier pigeon is genius. I might just steal that idea. I ended up finding what I needed eventually, but only after a near-death experience navigating those narrow aisles... and almost getting trampled by a shopping cart wielding granny. Next time, I'm bringing a map and a compass. Maybe a small army.
