Berlin

Staying at a pretty cool hotel here in Berlin. Basic, but very cool. It's either brand new or had very very very clean guests before, because the place is impeccable. Which is what you'd expect in Berlin I guess.
Not sure why but they seem to subscribe to the double-doona theory. So your queen size bed has
two Single doonas. It makes a lot of sense in diminishing the likelihood of doona hijacking etc but makes cuddling a bit awkward. Or maybe German people just don't cuddle.

The only other place I have ever seen this was at my friend Guy's, but he's a well known territorialist when it comes to bed real-estate.

The other thing worth a mention about the place is how fond its designer was of this shade of light yellow I can only call “banana yellow”. Maybe that's even the official name. Surprisingly it works pretty well... Always looks fresh and clean (well, that's partly because it is clean).
(Mental note to self: consider incorporating banana yellow stuff into own home)
