Michael, what have you been doing with your days?
Summer in Berlin:

- Meeting a ton of new people
- Sleeping in
- Casual sex and summer flings
- Leisurely breakfasts
- Having lots of lunch with people

- Rekindling career opportunities
- Partying
- Sleeping in
- Casual sex
- Breakfasts, lunches, dinners, döner
