There are many philosophers nowadays who are teaching that you must learn to love yourself. Let's throw some more light on this topic.
My site LuvLeela is about true love and lifelong relationships. It is for those who see a relationship as a lifelong commitment. In my article on self-love, I have said that true love and self-obsession cannot coexist. So if you really want to love someone truly then you must know how to put someone else first.
True love means you have made someone else more important than you. So why people are propagating the idea of 'learn to love yourself'?
Why Must You Learn To Love Yourself?
It is not about the situation, it is entirely about the person who is facing or handling the situation. For instance, person 'A' may completely lose his mind and balance whilst facing a certain situation on the other hand person 'B' may go through it effortlessly.
You might be thinking how it is related to our topic learn to love yourself? It is directly related.
Why Are People Propagating The Idea Of Learning To Love Yourself?
Nowadays people are propagating the idea of learning to love yourself because they have never worked on themselves.
In my last article how to get out of the friend zone I have explained how Lord Krishna dismissed all such things in one line, he said Yogastaha Kuru Karmani this means without working on himself/herself if someone will try to work then he/she will not do anything properly. Every work or task will be a struggle for that person.
Mango Season Is Coming
In India, people go crazy when mango season comes. This is because we are crazy for mangoes. Again you might be thinking how mangoes are related to our topic learn to love yourself?
It is not related but I will relate them. There are a lot of people who want mangoes but they don't give a damn about mango trees.
Just by dreaming about mangoes and their sweetness they won't come. First, you must sow a seed. You must water it, take care of it, protect it, and allow sufficient sunlight to fall into it.
After all this, you have to do the most important thing which is waiting. Dreaming or aspiration is not enough. A lot of people don't understand this.
Waiting, an Immense Possibility
You can go beyond your shallowness if you know how to wait.
If you can patiently wait then you can enjoy the beauty of everything.
You can go beyond the threshold.You can transcend monotony.
The indispensable prerequisite is a quality which is referred as waiting.
My book Poetic Plunge is a collection of my 51 best poems. You will learn a lot about love, relationship, and life through this book. It is full of wisdom and valuable insights.
This Is The Reason
Nowadays a lot of famous bloggers and influential people are also saying that it is important to be selfish. Why?
What is selfishness? Selfishness means that you must put yourself first. But to truly love someone we must know how to put someone else first.
Those people are saying selfishness is important because somewhere they have realized what Krishna said more than 3500 years ago. But they didn't understand it completely.
If you will work in this world without giving yourself sufficient time or without working on yourself then you will struggle with each and every task that you will perform.
Working On Oneself Is The Message
There is no need to love yourself because the one who puts himself or herself first cannot love someone in a true sense.
But working on oneself is very important. If you really want to do something good in your life and if you care about yourself and the people around you then working on yourself is of paramount importance.
Love and respect are earned. People who are incompetent of earning respect and love propagate stupid philosophies. They don't have any understanding of life.
My book irresistible qualities which attract feminine will tell you about certain irresistible qualities which a feminine cannot resist. The best thing about this book is you can very easily bring those qualities within you. Only practical and relevant advice is given in this book.

Recipe: Jason Fox's Smoked Oyster Creamed Nettles
Serves 8 to 10
To make these creamy, smoky greens that are infused with smoked oysters, Commonwealth chef Jason Fox sources nettles from Star Route Farms and uses them throughout the year. You might be able to find nettles at some farmers' market stalls, but if you can't, spinach is a perfectly acceptable substitute.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small shallot, sliced
2 tablespoons Pernod, Champagne or white wine
¾ cup heavy cream
8 to 10 smoked oysters
2 pounds greens, such as nettles or spinach
Instructions: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is foamy, add the shallots and cook until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the Pernod and reduce
Place the mixture in the jar of a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and Champagne vinegar. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use. (The cream mixture can be made several hours ahead.)
Give the greens a good rinse in cold water. In a large saute pan over medium heat, begin to wilt the greens in batches. When all the greens are added to the pan, add the smoked oyster cream and cook until the greens are completely tender, about 4 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Serve immediately.

Adjustments. I'm constantly making adjustments. To plans, goals, routines, lesson plans, curriculum. Last night, I made it to an art opening and Costco (kind of an incongruous pairing, but it made sense at the time), then came home and made dinner and ate it, and then that was it. And I was sitting on the couch, trying to figure out why I was SOOOO tired, why I was almost falling asleep. You know, it really doesn't matter why. I needed to sleep. But I felt bad going to bed early without getting anything ELSE done. I mean, I only ran a huge gel electrophoresis lab all day with 150 kids and then sorta cleaned up after school and carved a pumpkin for the school contest and then came home and dealt with animals and then drove halfway across town for an opening and then traipsed through Costco, hauling 42-pound bags of cat litter in and out of the car and then into the garage. And then standing to cook from scratch mostly cuz I'm kinda crazy that way, so much standing and walking. I think maybe I earned that tired.
So I made another cup of tea (those don't keep me awake, amusingly enough. I think my blood might be caffeinated.) and took my sketchbook (and the dog and one cat) to bed. Now really, I could have just gone to bed and that would have been OK. I was certainly tired enough. But I drew instead. And then slept.
Goofiest totem pole ever. Heart in pieces. Lotsa details…the stuff I love. This is the medium-sized sketchbook, about 9×12″? I usually enlarge 250%, so it wouldn't be huge if I made it into a quilt. There were a couple other drawings in the book that would make good smaller quilts. But I really want to do a bigger one next. It took about 30 minutes to draw that. And no, I didn't finish quilting the little quilts, and I probably won't finish them until maybe Monday, and then they still need binding and sleeves. So a week later than I planned. Oh well.
Really, this was just about drawing. Because I just wanted to. And then I put the sketchbook down on the floor, took my last sip of tea, and fell soundly asleep. Probably a good thing, because today is Halloween at school, and that takes a whole 'nother level of patience. An extra hour of sleep will probably come in useful. A coupla shots probably would too, but that's apparently not allowed.

Dirt Clod Heart
This is one of the last hearts I found at The Abandoned before they began to build houses. A sort of bittersweet tribute to the magic which once was.

Sidewalks and Streetlights
Next to the snazzy homes being built along the street, where sidewalks and streetlights abound, the forest stands silent. When the wind blows--I am sure the history of this once beautiful place whispers through man's progress. Huge homes stand so close together, one could shake hands across the small divide between them.
Sissy says these are California houses. The very kind of neighborhood which, if it somehow caught fire, would leap from house to house. I hope that never happens here.

November 2, 2006 – Facial Hair
Posted by Barniferous in Life in Japan on April 15, 2018
Business attire in Japan is very conservative, so it makes sense that English schools have strict rules regarding teachers' appearance. NOVA has the typical rules for dress code, but they also have an interesting set of rules regarding facial hair: if you have it you can keep it as long as it's properly trimmed and groomed. If you don't have facial hair you aren't allowed to grow it on the job.
Ever since my last lesson I decided to stop shaving and see if I could grow anything. So far I have learned two important things:
- There are spots on my face where nothing grows. This is going to make a beard impossible and a goatee challenging
- Growing facial hair on a usually clean shaven face is super itchy
Some people like my roommate Azeroth can grow a full beard in a matter of hours. With my uncooperative face and blond hair it's going to take me weeks and may look ridiculous the entire time. I can now understand the reason for NOVA's "can't grow it on the job" rules.
October 22, 2006 – Communication breakthrough
Posted by Barniferous in Teaching English on March 7, 2018
My kids students are starting to actually try to communicate in class!
Teaching English to kids usually involves a predictable routine of the kids repeating what I say (without always understanding) and variations on the same activities. At worst, the kids are checked out or disruptive. At best they usually go through the motions and might even have some fun. Kids actually attempting to communicate in English other than the course material is not at all common; it is a very welcome surprise and I'm going to do my best to keep this going.
Too bad I this happened right before I moved home and not a few years earlier!
October 14, 2006 – Stuff
Posted by Barniferous in Teaching English on February 21, 2018
Today during my last English lesson I was teaching some lower level students. During the lesson they had trouble understanding the noun "stuff", meaning a variety of things.
When someone doesn't understand a word, most people will try to explain the word using other words. This can create a problem for English students who might not understand the other words used in the explanation; instead of having to explain one word you now need to explain 5. Teachers can easily fall into a trap where they keep using more and more words, confusing the class and totally derailing the lesson.
I tried a few times to explain "stuff" using other words, and then realizing that I was digging myself a hole, I tried to think of another way to explain it to my class. Inspiration struck, I excused myself from the classroom, ran to the teachers room, and returned with my messenger bag that I use to carry things to and from work. I told the students that I had a lot of "stuff" in my bag as I started dumping the contents on the desk: some pens, homemade teaching materials, snacks, a book, my Ipod, and other things. After filling the desk, I told my students that maybe I had too much stuff in my bag.
One of the best parts about teaching is seeing the exact moment when a student understands something new. My demonstration worked, with all of my students looking happy and making lesson notes. After the lesson I had to repack my stuff and then explain to the branch staff why I had run out of a lesson – they were truly confused. Fortunately my explanation did not involve me once again dumping out my bag.
October 12, 2006 – Common sense 1, Bureaucracy 0
Posted by Barniferous in Teaching English on February 16, 2018
This morning, in a surprising turn of events, common sense defeated company bureaucracy.
When I woke up this morning my voice was still weak and squeaky. I had missed work yesterday which resulted in cancellations. The branch staff were in a bad situation – not wanting to cancel more lessons and not allowed to pay overtime for a replacement teacher. They asked if there was anything I could do to help.
I called Super Dave and asked him if he would be willing to trade shifts with me in order to help out the branch. He agreed to cover my shift today and I would work one of his on my next weekend. This deal would result in no cancelled lessons, no overtime payment, and Super Dave could get a 3 day weekend; it was a win for everyone involved.
I felt pretty good about myself until I called the NOVA head office in Osaka. I explained that I wasn't going to be able to work my shift, but that I had arranged a replacement. They told me that I couldn't do that. I further explained that the branch staff had asked me to find a replacement if possible. Head office wouldn't budge, saying that if Super Dave showed up to work they would need to send him home. I understand the need for following usual procedures, but I was shocked that head office would rather cancel lessons than allow a last minute shift swap.
In the end, common sense prevailed; the staff left my name on the schedule and Super Dave worked my lessons. I'm pretty sure this happened without the knowledge of head office, but since the end result was good I don't think anyone minded.
I spent the rest of my day resting and taking some intimidating Japanese medicine that The Penpal brought me. I should be good to go for tomorrow.
October 10, 2006 – Overtime day
Posted by Barniferous in Teaching English, The Penpal on January 19, 2018
Today, by request from management, I worked a rare overtime shift. I really value my 2 day weekend, but this was an early shift and it's hard to turn down extra money right before I'm move back to Canada.
Work was busy but not terribly difficult. I was fighting a bit of a cold, so my voice was starting to disappear by the end of the day.
After work I went out for dinner with The Penpal and one of her church friends, who is quite possibly the friendliest person in the whole world. Even though I gave up half of my weekend, my day didn't turn out too badly!
October 7, 2006 – Renovations during lessons
Posted by Barniferous in Teaching English on January 3, 2018
My usual Saturday evening teaching partner Molly was on vacation. Due to the ongoing teacher shortages in the area, I was the only teacher in the building for the last 4 lessons of the evening. Each of my classes was at its 4 student capacity, making for a busy evening.
During the afternoon, right before my group kids class, one of the branch staff decided to replace the filters in the air conditioning units in each of the kids rooms. I'm not sure why they decided to start this right before a group class – usually the staff go out of their way to avoid disrupting lessons. When the lesson started, there was still a ladder in the middle of the room.
Realizing that a bunch of energetic children in a small room with a ladder was a disaster waiting to happen, I decided to improvise and moved my group into the unoccupied Voice room.
In branches that have dedicated NOVA kids classrooms, these rooms are specifically designed to teach children. There are teaching materials on the walls, high shelves for anything that the kids shouldn't get at, and a total lack of furniture. The Voice room was designed with adults in mind – there was a giant movable white board, tables, chairs, maps, and all kinds of English books and magazines. The kids were so distracted by everything in the room that the 40 minute lesson flew by. It was one of my easier kids classes ever!
September 29, 2006 – Please don't spit on the teacher
Posted by Barniferous in Teaching English on December 18, 2017
Today my experiences teaching English to children hit a new low: a 4 year old girl spat on me in the classroom.
Most kids that I have taught are pretty good, if uninterested. However, over the past few years I have been hit, kicked, kanchoed, and had a variety of objects thrown at me, most notably a marker which bounced off my face. I have also had kids call me terrible names in Japanese: I usually let this go for a few minutes before telling them in Japanese that I can understand everything they are saying. Today was the very first time I have ever had someone spit at me in class.
At first I was shocked, then disgusted, then occupied with trying to find something to wipe it off, then back to disgusted with a bit of angry.
Teaching English to children is a very effective form of birth control.

Santos has the biggest seaport in Latin America, has large industrial complexes and shipping centers, which handle a large portion of the world's coffee exports, as well as a number of other Brazilian exports including steel, oil, cars, oranges, bananas, and cotton. The city is also home to the Coffee Museum, where, once, coffee prices were negotiated. The exportation of coffee from the Port of Santos gave rise to the city at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.

The Cross House
A Continuing Niche. An End In Sight!
For years, when I would stand before the niche and think about restoring the finish on all the oak, I would feel queasy at the thought of how much work this would entail. But, I finally just jumped in with the thought that a little bit every other day would be survivable.
And now?
I am almost done!!!!!!!!
I only have the left, lower corner to do!
Next on the niche list is refinishing the radiator. Originally it had a two-tone finish: A dark gold with brighter gold highlighting the decorative details.
Next is finishing the ceiling, and then repairing all the damaged plaster. Then primer! Then paint!
And then?
And then?
And then?
I get to hang the mysterious Bo Wonder Light!

However, we must increasingly recognize that the language of "completion" can be comprehended only when missions is built on the foundation of Christendom, not on the foundation of the Trinity. Through the lens of the missio dei, we no longer isolate soteriology from pneumatology and eschatology. Therefore, even when every person has had an opportunity to hear the gospel, or even if a church is planted in every people group of the world, missions will not be over. Once missions is linked inseparably to the triune God, then the church recognizes that the ultimate goal of missions can be found only in the New Creation. This does not negate important goals such as planting a church in every people group in the world. However, it does mean that the church must always live in the tension of "unfinished business." The mission of the church (missions) is to participate in the missio dei by continuing the mission of Jesus throughout the world until the end of history.

Habits. Google the word "habit," and in less than half a second 130,000,000 search results come up. At the top of the list is a simple definition: "A settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up." That last part is the kicker. We all have our regular tendencies and practices, but the difference between a routine and a Habit is that routines are relatively easy to adjust and change, while habits can be especially difficult to give up.
That is the bad news.
The good news is that you can change your habits. Contrary to popular belief or what you might think, habits are not stagnant creatures we are doomed to carry around for the rest of our lives. But they are also not generally changed overnight. The act of changing habits has many stages, and there are concrete ways to improve your chances of actually sticking with the changes you make.
One of the most difficult habits to change is addiction – to alcohol, drugs, food, or any other substance. Over 20 years ago, Carlo C. DiClemente and J. O. Prochaska studied the actions of alcoholics attempting to change their habit. They observed six distinct stages that were common in this process:
- Precontemplation: When the habit or addiction is identified.
- Contemplation: Understanding that there is a problem, and that a change needs to occur.
- Determination: The decision to change is made, and a plan to change is created.
- Action: The plan is put into place. Lifestyle changes are made in support of the plan, and support in various forms is gathered.
- Maintenance, relapse, recycle: This stage acknowledges that there may be times of relapse or faltering. This does not mean change has failed but that the stages must be re-entered with renewed commitment.
- Termination: At this final stage, the habit is completely changed. There is no chance of relapse.
This model is simply referred to as The Stages of Change. While it may seem simplistic, for alcoholics or others struggling with addiction, this can be a powerful model for those who feel like they are making no real progress towards change, especially when they fall back into the old habit. Because it takes an average 66 days to actually change a habit (not the previously touted 28 days), this model can provide support, structure, and encouragement to the effort.
Understanding how we form habits in the first place is another powerful way to bring about change.
In The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg explains that most humans function within a loop. Some of these loops are routine and easy to change if needed, like feeding the dog after coffee instead of before, but others can be habits that are harder to break, like swinging through the drive-thru for a greasy breakfast sandwich every day or turning on the TV after dinner. The key, he says, is to break that feedback loop with cues that prompt the desired behavior, and then reward that behavior with something meaningful. Duhigg found that changing the habit was more about setting up a powerful cue and instituting a meaningful reward.
So what kind of cues and rewards work? That is entirely up to the person who is making the change. Maybe you want to exercise more and watch less TV. Hanging your dog's leash by the door where you hang your coat reminds you that it's time for a walk. That's the cue. The reward should be something tangible; maybe it's a movie, a special treat, or a new pair of shoes. Whatever it is, the reward needs to be something you would actually want to work towards.
Making these small changes to cues and rewards can help change habits, but sometimes a short-term grand gesture is the ticket.
Matt Cutts's TED Talk urges his audience to try something new for 30 days. In these short periods of 30 days at a time, he climbed Mt. Kilamanjaro, wrote a novel, biked to work every day, and took one photograph a day. His experience made him feel more adventurous and alive, but the one thing he learned from this was counterintuitive to the 30-day experiment model:
"I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing, they were more likely to stick. There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. In fact, they're a ton of fun. But they're less likely to stick."
In the end, it was the small changes within the larger ones that made the changes stick, not the grandiose gestures.
The Evans Health Lab, made most famous for its popular whiteboard video 23 1/2 Hours, has written extensively about what it takes to change a habit. While there are strong arguments for the fact that changing a habit can be a small, daily re-examination of smaller habits, there is also some evidence that changing habits around New Year's results in changes that stick.
So what does this mean for you, making changes in the new year?
- First, now is the time to make a change. More than any other time of year, for a variety of factors, resolutions to change habits made on or around New Year's Eve are more likely to stick.
- Next, understand that small, incremental changes in habits will be the most successful. This may mean instead of quitting smoking cold turkey, you get some help with a nicotine patch, nicotine gum, and a support group.
- Finally, change your environment so that you can be successful in changing your habits. Just as alcoholics who wish to quit drinking no longer go to bars to see friends, so, too, must other environmental changes be made for other types of behaviors. If you want to watch less TV, put the TV in the basement or in an inconvenient or uncomfortable room. Instead of waiting for the urge to exercise to strike, schedule a weekly workout with a friend or join a team with weekly practices and games. If you want to lose weight or eat more healthy foods, chop a week's worth of vegetables and keep them within easy reach in the refrigerator.
The best time to start changing a habit is right now. What steps will you take today to make positive, lasting change?

Mid-week Meditation
LORAS COLLEGE – Students and staff in the Loras community are taking a break for reflection mid-way through each week. Anastacia McDermott and Dr. Julia Omarzu held mid-week meditations a few years back and decided to start leading them again as a way to teach the community how to practice meditation and mindfulness.
They lead different types of meditation, ranging from posturing and breathing to guided or silent meditations. Their main goal for these meditations is to promote mental, physical, and spiritual health.
McDermott says, "I think it is a great opportunity that cuts across religious, spiritual differences and has proven results in all varieties of wellness."
Mid-week meditation is held every Wednesday evening at 4:15 in the Interfaith space in the Alumni Campus Center Room 580, and anyone is welcome to attend.
Email Anastacia McDermott at email@example.com for more information.

Alcatraz? Ehh, that's a popular San Francisco destination. I've been meaning to see it, and putting it off because, it's like, right at home.
1.) Despite living near San Francisco for a year and a half, it was my first time seeing Sutro Baths.
I think everyone should try becoming a tourist in their hometowns. By that, I don't mean you need to throw your money at every tourist trap in the city, especially ones you have no interest in. However, I think everyone should make the most of where they live, and get to know the historical or cultural significance of the space they inhabit. Every city is full of stories, and sometimes we travel thousands of miles to learn the stories of other cities. Why not explore the stories in front of you?

Subscribe to mailing list
Thanks for signing up!
Sean Smith and Brian Johnson come in for a ppc roundtable discussion.
- A lot of Sellers (new and established) ask do my numbers look right compared to everyone else
- Am I in the range of expected numbers on my metrics
- 1st things to look for are click-through and conversion rates
- Clickthrough rate = How good are the ads getting the shopper from search to my listing (Normal is 0.3% to 1% and above would be great <0.2% is a potential relevance or pricing mismatch )
- Conversion = getting them from click through to purchase
Check yourself
- Take the target search term and look at page one results
- Compare how would my title, price, image and reviews fit in – if you stick out like a sore thumb then you're going to stick out for buyers too (you don't belong on that page)
- You need to get out and have your product in people's hands and speak to them so your get the human intelligence along with the data intelligence too
- Sean looks at the business report as well to see how they are doing over all
- Report on the last 30 days and the number of sessions and unit/session % to see which ones are worth advertising or not
- Hard to manage a product that does poorly organically or on conversion rates
Categories and choice
- In baby category are there a lot of window shoppers than buyers
- lower conversion rate is because the buying process has slowed down
- Process slows down as there is too much choice
- Some categories have more of this (size, colour, boys, patterned, etc)
- Forces the potential buyer to become a window shopper but not on the first visits (hits conversions)
- Decision fatigue is what it's called when people struggle to decide between choice
- Steve jobs would wear the same black top each day
- The more decisions you make in a day the more fatigued you become as a buyer
Follow the crowd
- Do I follow my competitor and have variations or
- Do I go to a completely different product and avoid the fatigue
- Sean tries not to work with products with multiple variations
- Sean prefers to work with high velocity products
- Unit session % are usually lower and so not right for Sean
Investment in Advertising
- If you give us a product with a $10 price tag and a 5% conversion rate then it makes it harder to get to a good breakeven cost when finding out who the target audience is
- Your advertising won't show as good a return on this kind of product as opposed to a high velocity product with a higher price tag and higher conversion rate
- As an Agency you need to be able to show a return to the client and it's easier with higher velocity SKUs
- Easier to work with and a more predictable return
- If you can't provide an outcome that is equal to or higher than the fee then it's not going to fly
Goal Setting
- If you've been banging your head against the wall for 60 days you need to look at your goals
- Being good and realistic at goal setting
- What realistically can you do?
- You can keep testing but you have ti have a destination in mind
- Look at what's happened in the last two months
- Panic without looking at what's going on seasonally
- All the main keywords are ranking fine, position is still 1-3 but sales are down and ACoS is going in the wrong direction (as is everyone else)
- We set new goals for the Summer to work at a new ACoS, or let the market tell us what's going on
- Leave everything as is pre-summer and then watch, when things correct we follow suit and correct along with it
- Sometimes you can confuse seasonality for some of Amazon's decisions they make on PPC
Slump in Sales
- Brian put a chart together regarding Google Trends on ecommerce platforms to show the holiday predictable season within the USA (2 yrs old now)
- Events that happen in holiday seasons:
- Distracting the Shopper from buying – Holidays, kids on break at Home distracting them
- Amazon knows of these distractions and flexes their ads and marketing for when they can get their biggest bang for their buck
- They put Prime Day in July to counter the slump during the worst month of the year
- Amazon ad network for ad retargeting meant they pulled away from Google ad retargeting and overall sales dropped

- This event has passed.
(De Patrick)
- Tim Mielants
- Belgium
- Comedy
In this endearing, oddball comedy, socially awkward Patrick works as a handyman on his parents' naturist campsite, building furniture in his spare time. After one of his hammers goes missing, he embarks on a quest to retrieve it that takes him to the farthest corners of the clothing-optional camping grounds. When his emotionally unavailable father suddenly dies, the pursuit becomes an existential odyssey. An offbeat (and darkly funny) celebration of people's peculiarities, and of letting go and being happy with who you are.
"The film is a portrait composed of painstakingly observed tiny details."

Potsdam is one of the loveliest cities in Germany
A little bit in the shadow of the big city of Berlin, Potsdam is anything but a satellite city. The capital of Brandenburg is not only embedded in a charming cultural landscape, it is also characterized by the great history that has influenced Europe from here.
The Sanssouci Palace with its incomparable parks is at the center of tourist interest. The former summer residence of the Prussian King Frederick the Great is only one of many attractions that you can discover in Potsdam.
Stroll through the historic quarters of the city, which were shaped by the many immigrants from all over Europe a few centuries ago, the Russian colony Alexandrovka, the Dutch quarter and the Bohemian weaver quarter. Experience the eclectic cultural spectrum in Schiffbauergasse, the historic center of the city.
In addition to historical architectural treasures, Potsdam is also very modern and forward-looking. The Filmpark Babelsberg attracts not only visitors but for several years also a whole series of Hollywood stars to Potsdam. The nature experience world "Biosphere" impressively shows how our world works. Or take a walk through the Volkspark on the former BuGa site, take a boat trip over the canals and lakes of Brandenburg or visit the Crown Estate Bornstedt.
The 4-star superior Dorint Sanssouci Berlin / Potsdam is the perfect starting point for all these exploration tours and offers you the necessary rest and relaxation after an eventful day.
