poles were inspired by the favelas from the outside but full of life on the inside . the shop is designed to be a platform for cultural exchange. what is even though i love germany's winter culture i also miss south america's sun the relaxed spirit the warmth it was always a challenge for me to transmit south american sunny warmth to germany zone to give me and. and now i can say that i bring many people together here through this mess ok. it mentions a. salad embassy a piece of sunny latin america in the heart of berlin. and if you are interested in learning the stories of other entrepreneurs in our series then just head to our website and finally we were out of the show on
