It’s 1.2bn EUR, not 1.2m. All the best, a nitpicky German reader

Wow, while I know some people who are disappointed about heat torture being over, I still can’t wrap my head around that. The best part of Berlin summer for me is that it is short, but this year it started in April so that doesn’t work.

As for Döner, all the non-vegetarian people I know (which is not a lot since we’re in the vegan capital of the world) would only get chicken if they absolutely have to, otherwise it’s meat. And sometimes they give reasoning like “chicken is schawarma, not döner”. Why 55 cm knife matters though? And hope they don’t force durum/pita bread as part of tge rules, those grilled triangle pockets are the best.

I don't touch döner anymore. Ever since we did a reportage at Exberliner about a döner meat factory with photos of tables piled with meat, I've gone off the stuff. Of course, every slaughterhouse/meat plant is hell on earth : )
