Thor 7,493 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 1 hour ago, Biodome said: Yeah, and make sure it's an actual FFP2-rated mask (the thicker, sturdier kind than the surgical/medical variety). I didn't take note of that, as I was used to the surgical/medical masks, and I assumed they are enough everywhere. But when I brought it to the entrance of the Philharmonie, they told me that that was insufficient. Luckily they had FFP2 masks that I could use. Really? I only have surgical masks. Hopefully, I can buy some of them proper ones in Berlin tomorrow. I'm off in just 3 hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Once 605 Posted October 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2021 I went to the reshearsal with my childhood friend. I'm 27, he's 26 and 20 of for those years we've been listening to John Williams together. I can't really describe how it felt to see him live. My friend and I couldn't even really talk about it, and I guess it's meaningless to try anyway. Let's just say it was a deeply emotional experience. I feel the need to share this experience with someone who might understand it, but I can't even put it into words (not even in Danish, if I tried, haha). I just feel so lucky to live in a world with and at the same time as John Williams!
