    Berlin. Clubs and pubs all weekend.

      Nice. For me, Vienna – inside in stifling heat because the other half has a slipped disc.

      I loved Berlin – if there is time dipping into one historical exhibition in your pubs and clubs trip I’d recommend stopping by the topography of terror.

    West Side Story – some great youtubes.
    Officer Krupke outlines social problems and delinquency. “This boy is only bad because he’s had a bad home life! Hey I’m depraved because I’m deprived!”
    And the dancing in Gym Mambo.
    And a song for Christchurch – Something’s Coming – Who Knows
    And unsettled people establishing their patch against immigrants who are unsettled amongst themselves – Puerto Rico, you lovely (or ugly) island.
