Big Mac Index


According to their website, "The Big Mac index was invented by The Economist in 1986 as a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their 'correct' level". It's interesting because even if it was designed to compare purchasing-power parity, it shows the imbalance between different currencies. This map shows the latest index, calculated in July 2016.

Nice picture in the Lustgarten


Last weekend, on a sleepless night, I set up the site pics.inberl.in to check the different pictures I have been taking in the city. When I was browsing through my collection, I found this cool photo I took at the Lustgarten in my first weeks in Berlin. I'm proud of the composition.
