Last month I spent a few days in Bologna to celebrate a friend's birthday. One of the reasons we went there was to visit a place that makes the famous Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Since that place was close to #Parma, we ended up going for a walk around town after the cheese incident.

Yesterday I went out to celebrate my 14th year living in #Berlin. I arrived in town back in 2012 with a fundamentally wrong vision of what the city could be. And through the years I managed to find myself in it, and I still think the decision to move over here was the best one I ever made. 

So, yesterday I went out to see fastcore legends Yacøpsæ play at Abstand/Rigaer78, and it was precisely what I had in mind. 

Before I ever visited Hamburg, I had a vision of the city in my head. It was a modern German metropolis by the water, crowned by the Elbphilharmonie and the energy of one of Europe’s largest ports. When I went to the city for the first time, I got a better sense of it.

Here are my favorite historic sights in #Hamburg: https://ftrc.blog/landmarks-of-historic-hamburg/

This is so painfully obvious it shouldn't need to be said, but I'm glad a major news service is saying it, and clearly. #IranWar #RenewableEnergy

There are no tourists in these shots of #Venice, which makes them look even more surreal. The streets are empty because my girlfriend and I got up early to see the sun rise over San Marco Square.

And I don't know who the couple taking wedding pictures is. I saw so many people taking pictures like that in the square that I had to document them somehow.

This is actually really interesting. When I was young and stupid I decided to walk from Brighton to Hastings (about 13 hours). And what struck me at the time was that you simply couldn't walk the coast, which I thought was a bit weird. Now I'm old and stupid I'd like to do this whole route. I bet there are people planning to walk/run it.

Six years ago this week, I was in #Belgrade to see the Western City Gate, also known as Genex Tower or Kula Geneks in Serbian.

This is a massive #brutalist skyscraper in Belgrade and can be seen from all around town.

Researchers from Cornell University have developed what they call "the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale," a tool designed to measure how impressed people are by business school-style jargon that sounds strategic but says very little.

The findings, described in a recent study, suggest that employees who rate this sort of language as insightful are more likely to struggle with analytical thinking and workplace decision-making.

When I went to check out how frozen the Müggelsee was, it was sunny and cold. A bit different from the weather today. And these pictures show that it was just as frozen as I thought it would be since I'm standing on top of the frozen lake.

When we got there, the icy landscape felt magical in many ways. I don't think I ever saw that much ice on a lake here in #Berlin, and the amount of people on top of it made it seem like I was safe…
