I’m not going to complain about this week’s heat wave; the temperature that, as Lucy put it, cannot be described without using bad words or the word “balls;” the lack of air conditioning in all but the most insipid chain stores (H&M, I’m looking at you); the German conviction that air, if blown directly on you, causes colds; the resulting lack of fans in the office, coffee shops, and my apartment; the mini-ness of the fridge and my ensuing inability to make more than 16 ice cubes at a time, although I desire to consume at least eight ice cubes in any given glass of water; the complete absence of iced coffee and tea from menus around Berlin, and the seeming contentment of this fair city’s residents to continue drinking hot Milchkaffees and grüner Tees despite the body-temperature heat surrounding them, whether they’re inside or out.
Instead, I will share a photo.

When was the last time you saw a licorice store?
