Did you know that David Bowie once lived in Berlin? And did you know that he also recorded some music while he was here? I learnt these facts, and actual interesting ones too, when I went on Feeling Gloomy Berlin’s Bowie walking tour a couple of months back. And now you have a chance to take a walk in Ziggy Stardust’s platform boots for free, as we’re giving away a pair of places on the Berlin Bowie Walk this Saturday (July 21st).

It’s a big year for Bowie, as Dame David has just turned 65 and celebrated the 35th anniversary of the first of his classic Berlin albums, Low. The city is celebrating its favourite adopted son this week with a film screening, walking tour and club night in his honour. Allow us to join in by posting the video for Xu Xu Fang’s cover of “China Girl”, featuring a few of our favourite things – horses, beards, black and white.
