Did you hear? It’s Leap Day next week. This means that on Saturday 29 February, international time keepers will give us a whole 24 hours extra this year. So while most people will just let this day slide by, you and I will decide differently. We will make this day count as a gift. We’ve made some suggestions on how to best celebrate Leap Day in Berlin.
And might we add that you can just decide to take this Leap Day any day of this year? It’s extra after all, so there’s no rules that say you cannot ‘postpone’ this bonus day until you get a chance to visit Berlin. Ok, done with the technicalities, let’s celebrate this gifted 366th day of the year already. Three cheers for Leap Day in Berlin.
