Sunset, Chinese Cuisine in Berlin & Christoph Niemann

The group went to see the sunset at the top of Victoria park the other day. It kind of became more about taking pictures than enjoying the sunset, though. DSC_8134 DSC_8137 DSC_7984

Beautiful sunset and the shining Benz

To my surprise, there actually are some authentic Chinese restaurant in town. Interestingly, I have only seen Chinese people in one of the four Chinese restaurants that we went to. Unlike most Chinese restaurants in the United States where menus are written in Chinese and English, the menus here are in German and English. DSC_7619 DSC_7617 We also had another speaker–Christoph Niemann, a freelance illustrator who has worked for New Yorker, Time, MoMA, etc.

Illustrator Christoph Niemann

He showed us some of his amazing works and we were able to get to know his production process. But what inspires me most is his stressing on the importance of your real passion. “You could do something as your job for one or two years, but you will not be able to compete with these who has the passion on the long run.” Christoph Niemann sets a great example of what could a person achieve when he does something he loves and something he is good at.
