#weeklyreview 12/2026

Really just a very short weekly review because I was too busy this week working and preparing for the China vacation, getting all these hotels and trains booked and the sights in the capital and these kind of things. It’s a bit taxing, and obviously the house takes some attention as well, instructing the craftsmen with the drywalling, making decisions about where the power plug should go and how the wall should sit and all that stuff.

We made good progress there on the weekend. We stayed in Berlin partially because kiddo had a dance show to attend from her dance company, so we went to the old GDR Disneyland, if you want to call it that. It is still a lovely place. I remember I’ve been there a few times during GDR times, and for me it’s magical. It’s still full of kids’ attractions, and the kids still love it and they run around. I recognized the interiors immediately, and the steam engine in the park is obviously very cool.
