While I was gone, a minor scandal in Germany happened: A German soap opera star of Turkish heritage, Sila Sahin, posed naked for Playboy magazine. Near-naked. It is a huge issue, because Muslims usually don't like to see their daughters naked in public, so conservative Turkish men are not that thrilled. Sila has already apologized to her mother. Most Germans, however, see that as a step towards integration.
Anyway, it is the right answer to the Burka ban in France. About the soap she's playing in, that pretty much sucks.

Hello Berlinica!
ReplyDeleteIn the spirit of self-interest I was hoping that you could give me some advice on relocating to Berlin. I've been looking through various ex-pat blogs for people to contact about moving to Berlin. I speak fluent German and just earned a B.A. in poli sci and German this past December. My girlfriend and I are planning to relocate to Berlin this Fall. Do you have any tips of finding work in Berlin or just adjusting to life there in general? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Gruss,
Alex
