Yes, I would have liked to think of myself differently, but at the end I am just like everybody else. A huge corporation with ditribution all over Germany found out about this blog and made an offer that the blog just couldn’t resist.
So I will be moving into a new place where I will write more often about life in Berlin. Thankfully, the huge corporation is Tageszeitung, so the blockbuster deal will go like this: I can write whatever I want, and for this freedom I don’t compensated. Why am I moving? because I think that there are serious posts that have been written here and they deserve a larger discussion group, and I think the umbrella of Taz will give it just that.
In the beginning I will continue to publish on both posts, and for the first few posts in the blog’s new home I will borrow some posts that were already published here. Thanks for those who looked into this blog in the past and I hope that you will follow it to its new address: http://blogs.taz.de/oyveyberlin
this is great news – good luck with the new place and the more reader..
