It was difficult navigating the virtual markets from home with real life, family etc. surrounding, especially over the weekends.\u00a0When you are at a market or festival, you are there and committed without any external interferences. It is basically what I imagine life is like for everyone who lives in L.A. during AFM!

And also learning to prioritize the things that really matter to us on a personal level.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>What\u2019s your favorite, only-in-Berlin moment from physical festivals\/markets past?<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It\u2019s always fun and glamorous to see the stars run down the stairs of the Ritz on their way to a screening, or the jury coming back in from a screening. \u00a0Always feels a bit surreal, you can really feel the energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>What\u2019s the first thing you\u2019ll do after landing in Berlin for EFM 2023?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    I go straight to the pharmacy to pick up a weeklong supply of liquid vitamin B shots that I haven\u2019t found anywhere else in the world and which I\u2019m convinced keep me alive for the week! \u00a0Someone shared this with me in one of my first Berlin\u2019s and I\u2019ve lived by it ever since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>What restaurant or bar have you missed?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The schnitzel at Borchardt and local scene is a favorite.
