Well I've got to get this.

That looks great. I have been to eat Sri Lankan recently but it wasn't a good experience. Not because Sri Lankan, I love that kind of cuisine, just bumped into the wrong restaurant.

It was, I was so mesmerised. So cool how a tradition like the Carnival mixed up with those traditional costumes and dances and gave visibility to a migrant community.

Sri Lankan presence at the Saronno Carnival Parade in northern Italy. So good to see how traditions from different parts of the world can merge together.

Pre-sale promotion on "The Derbyless City. An Emotional Map of Berlin Football" still on.

Stories from every level and every corner of football in Berlin, from the Champions League to the leisure leagues, from Hertha and Union to ethnic teams, from Bundesliga one-hit wonders to GDR strongholds.

No worries :) but fun to know that the book went past your hands

Oese is the DJ. Anyway I really hope to visit Babelsberg soon, it's one of my favourite football places ever!

Oh, wow! The Babelsberg connection was one of the things I loved the most about the book, knowing Oese got one copy was lovely. I was meant to visit them last week for the Chemie game but in the end had to give up the trip!

With that sticker on the right edge of the cover, it seems like the book will be good ๐Ÿ˜„
