Russian Sunday with mom

It's been busy; my mom visited last week and on Monday we started a new language course in a new school, with far more homework. My mom was here for four days and it was nice, but exhausting. She hadn't been to Berlin before, so we visited many mandatory tourist attractions and did a lot of walking. I think the nicest thing we did though, was a Russian style Sunday brunch in Pasternak restaurant. The weather was cold and rainy, so we took our time, enjoyed the food and helped ourselves to more and more food. The brunch is a little pricey at €12,40 per person, plus drinks, but it was a very impressive spread and we didn't eat anything else until around 9 o'clock in the evening! I will be going again, for sure. It would also be a lovely place for dinner, I think. I loved the atmosphere, music and interiors, it felt like dining in a Russian novel.





Our new school seems very school-like, with a lot of homework and discipline in the classroom. I hope that means we also learn more. We had to change from Deutsche Akademie to GLS, because DA could only offer us classes between 18-21 at night, which sounds terrible. Also, GLS is on Kastanienallee, which is super-handy for us.

Tonight we are defying the cold and rain and meeting course mates from Deutsche Akademie in Prenzlberg for cocktails. Bahamas, here we come!
