This map of Berlin Wi-Fi names is infrequently addictive

Italian expat and blogger Federico Prandi set out to find a weirdest Wi-Fi networks around Berlin. The finish outcome is an interactive map charting a many waggish to a many mysterious names, explained by Prandi. He tells The Local about how he started a project. Did your Wi-Fi make a map?

I started my uncanny collection some-more than one year ago. On a sight home after a night out  I was fidgeting with my phone and landed by possibility on a list of accessible Wi-Fi networks.

I looked during all those names changing as a sight was speeding by a city. They were messages in bottles addressed to a star as most as to a lady vital on a initial floor. Some were funny, others personal or even inscrutable.

I couldn’t assistance though consternation what stories lay behind them. And so from that day on we started observant them down wherever we would find myself in Berlin.

Every uneventful block in Charlottenburg or still residential travel in Wedding hold a secret, a formula we wanted to decipher. we would take out my phone and knowledge a city from a new, insinuate viewpoint by those names that were meant for everybody to review and nobody during once.

Some of my favourites, in no sold order, include: Los Pollos Hermanos (reference to cult tv array Breaking Bad), Pretty Fly for a Wi-Fi, Amy WeinHaus, It hurts when IP, Tell your Wi-fi we adore her, and I’m blank a span of socks.
