For the title of this post, I was wavering between the current one, and Brandenburg.2: Electric Boogaloo. For some background, Berlin Brandenburg International Airport (BER) was slated to open way back in 2011, but due to a number of issues, only opened on 31 October 2020.

Walking Venice’s Canals
If you’re planning a visit to Venice, Italy in the coming days, and expecting to see this: you might want to rethink your travels.
