Quest for the best: is there a reMarkable alternative?

People ordering original Berlin Currywurst from a stall / food truck

Berlin for vegetarians: how tasty is this amazing city in Germany?

The classic dishes in Berlin - no make that, in all of Germany – all contain meat: Currywurst (spicy sausage), Schnitzel (boneless meat, thinned with a meat tenderizer, coated with flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs, and then fried), and Döner (Turkish dish made of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie). Time for me as a vegetarian to see if it's possible to enjoy a yummy, healthy meal in Berlin and even the classic German dishes without any meat.

Wallace & Gromit and Friends: The Magic of Aardman exhibition - ACMI Melbourne

Visiting Wallace & Gromit and friends at ACMI in Melbourne

The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is the coolest museum in Melbourne. Probably the best coolest museum in Australia... For film, video games and digital culture geeks. That's me. This combined with the fact that the Wallace & Gromit and Friends: The Magic of Aardman exhibition was on, it was impossible to walk by ACMI without going inside.
