I go to Sarotti and decide to have a baked potato. Which comes, this being Berlin, in foil moulded in the shape of a swan.
Time passes.
The waiter comes, asks if he can remove the remains. I assent. He asks if it was good (Hat es geschmeckt?). I say it was great. I say: Wann kommt der nächste Schwann?
[Wagnerians will understand. 2C2E.]
Time passes.
The waiter heads outside bearing a baked potato on a plate, remarks in passing that here comes the next swan.

ausgeschlossen again
Got locked out of the apartment again. Discovered strange fact about the neighbourhood.
For 49 euros (10% off for online booking) you can get a single room at chi-chi Sarotti with free Internet access, TV, radio, iron, all mod cons.
For 62 euros you can get a single room at Hotel Transit, a weirdly overpriced hostel in Hagelbergerstrasse: ambience that of a humane prison.
For a special 3-night August booking you can get a single at the very grand Riehmers Hotel in Yorckstrasse for 63 euros (normal price 98 euros).
The question I naturally ask myself is: is Sarotti moneylaundering?
(What happened: Sarotti was full (natürlich) so I got a single at the Transit for 40 euros by agreeing to be out by 8am.)
