Coincidences

There's something about the air in Neukölln, it makes you feel as though you've got to live life over and over again.

Last year, I met an Austrian guy called Andreas, who was a politically involved anarchist. He was staying near Boddinstraße and met with contacts at the anarchist café in Prenzlauer Berg "Morgen Rot".

Last weekend, I met a German guy called Andreas, who is a member of a political party called the 'Pirate Party'. He was staying with a friend near Boddinstraße on Schiller Promenade and met with contacts before the "Freiheit statt Angst" demo at café Morgen Rot.

On Wednesday, I met a German guy, who is also a member of the Pirate Party, who was running to be the lord mayor of Dresden. He was also staying with a friend near Boddinstraße on the Schiller Promenade.
We were walking along Flughafenstraße at 10PM and saw the political candidate for the suburb of Neukölln, Yusuf Bayrak, handing out plastic roses with his picture on them as part of his campaign for the election.

What's waiting for me this weekend?
