Arriving in Edinburgh

One shot of Scotland from the plane:

A day of commuting

Today, like most Tuesdays, I spent about 2 and a half hours in transit. Here's a narrative in pictures.

First, I hop on the tram for a single stop (it's faster than walking, even if I have to wait 5 minutes):


Then, I get on the S-bahn for the long ride down to Potsdam. I listen to podcasts and drink coffee on the way:


Then I catch the bus up the hill to the AIP. The train was a few minutes delayed, so I had to run for the bus and couldn't snap a picture outside. 


Most days I simply retrace my steps, but on Tuesdays I head off to choir. I get back on the same bus headed to the *other* train station. I had to run for the bus AGAIN so here's a picture from inside: 


Then I catch a regional express towards downtown: 


And then I walk for 20 minutes. I could take a bus or train for part of this journey, but it's not actually any faster:


After chorus, I head to the U-bahn:


And then make a final transfer to another U-bahn to get home:


On Wednesdays, I often work from home.

In the evening

First, warschauerstr. station in the evening. Most of my pictures from here are going the other direction in the morning.


Bonus photo: I forgot to bring my lunch to work, so by the time I picked up my dinner I felt the need to send a triumphant selfie to David:

So fancy

We went to a party in a nice apartment tonight. We were especially impressed by the chandelier!

Italian dinner

We had Italian for dinner last night, and they seated us next to the bar, where there were tons of grappa bottles on display.
