lebensmittel

So one thing about liv­ing in Berlin I didn’t fore­see was gro­ceries, Lebens­mit­tel. How re­tail food is han­dled in Ger­many is not the same as in the U.S. And since most peo­ple don’t have cars – they have gro­cery sto­ries in the train sta­tions.

The is­sue though, is that one must car­ry every­thing home.

Sure, this is im­proved by a bi­cy­cle but every so of­ten it turns into a work out as I im­pul­sive­ly buy tons of veg­gies.

Typ­i­cal­ly in Ger­many, all stores are closed on Sun­days but there’s a mar­ket near­by which stays open.

This means it’s crazy packed, some­times with a line to get in. They also have gro­cery stores, and craft­ing stores for that mat­ter, in their malls and large shop­ping cen­ters.

This is ide­al, how­ev­er I have found the yarn qual­i­ty to be in­fe­ri­or when com­par­ing prices from what I had in the US – be­cause here I have to use all wool and there I could find acrylic.

Any­way, a slice of life af­ter a morn­ing of ve­g­an treats en­joy­ing a lazy Sun­day.
