Berlin 2005

In 2005 I visited Berlin to see my university friend Karijn, who moved to Berlin from Amsterdam a few years earlier. In those years I didn’t own a proper camera and I only made chaotic photo’s, like you would make using a smartphone nowadays. Good times in hindsight. I wasn’t feeling too great in 2005 and I can hardly find any photo’s on my back-up hard drives from that year, or even 2004 and 2006. Lost years.

In the mid-2000s Berlin was economically not well off and rent was dirt cheap. In 2006 the unemployment remained high at 16.5% but the pizzas were huge.
