25T21 Pause-day (thank you, Dussmann)
E20, B15.
Rain-showers gave way to threatening lines of thunderboomers and downpours. The weather afforded me an opportunity to catch up with cataloguing of my image inventory, cooking in-suite to save a couple of Euros, and some reading.
Dussmann is a name among many lips, as well as eyes and ears in Berlin. It is not simply a “bookstore“. Yes, there are lots of books on display for sale. Yes, they carry music. Yes, there’s a café below. And yes, there’s a separate English bookshop at the back. Dussmann das KukturKaufhaus is a cultural centre in its own right, that many book-loving residents and visitors love to spend time and money on books and in-house events, and that the shop is one of the very few in the city to open late in the evenings.
I do not regret any visit to Dussmann. I regret what’s always about to happen. That my wallet gets a little lighter, but I have the massive fortitude to leave with “only” 1 new book.

Every time I get close at Friedrichstrasse station, I hear the Dussmann call. It takes everything to avoid the temptation. But if I do give in, it’ll take everything out of me to leave the premises. I’m glad you got to spend time there as well! 📚😍
