A fairly new blog that I enjoy: Zisgermanlife, by Josh Ward. Josh and his wife Vivien just recently packed up their belongings in the Big Apple to call Berlin they’re new home. Josh, originally from Seattle, is documenting what he finds amusing and ‘what makes him loook’ in the German capital. I.e. this entry about the naming of a Sushi place called: FUKU Sushi!
