Naht.
Not too much has happened since Oktoberfest- thought I got my identity stolen, found a great deal on some boots, discovered Ramen with egg, took a train to Germany and saw someone shoot up heroin for the first time. That was weird... apparently heroin is a problem in Prague. Haven't these people seen Requiem for a Dream?! Damn. But all is well... identity still mine, boots still cool, and although I'm becoming a lard, the Ramen w. egg was a great discovery. My next endeavor is Ramen with peanut butter and hot sauce... think of it as the hobo's pad thai. Yes please.
Got back from Berlin yesterday afternoon... a few of us hopped on a train Friday morning and headed to the Deutschland. What a cool trip. Firstly, the train was probably the best investment ever as we saw some pretty amazing countryside en route.
Not to mention that Jenna and I felt pretty regal as we sipped Macchiatos in the dining car.
Our arrival in Berlin proved to be somewhat hectic as we realized we didn't have the address to our hostel... until thank GOD Max saved the day by remembering that he'd written it down. We proceeded to scan the UBahn map for Picadilly Square and Charlie St.
Isn't that in London?
Yes.
Back to square one... thankfully Anna was able to look it up for us on the Google machine and give us directions. Our hostel was more of a warehouse with beds but at 18€ for the weekend, who's complaining? It had a bar in the lobby and included breakfast. Perfect.
Creepy...
We lucked out the first full day we were there because the weather was pretty nice- we even saw sun in dreary Berlin! Blue skies seemed like a foreign concept. Hopped on a bus tour that allowed you to get off and explore every so often. Cut to Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Holocaust memorial (they better), Jenna and I in love, some wall, and other cool looking buildings.
After some serious sightseeing, we decided to do some car shopping and hang out with bears.
Jenna much preferred this one over the Bentley.
When the night started to fall and the bears went to sleep, we decided what a perfect opportunity to visit Rapunzel.
But she was out at the clubs so we had to turn back. Good thing the hostel offered its own alien spaceship to hang out on and have weird extraterrestrial shots.
Can't really tell you much about what happened after that... but I'm pretty sure I'm now missing a kidney.
Then there was this weird thing:
I think it was the ship's rubbish... they were really big aliens. Now that I have no idea where to go from here, enjoy these other shots from Berlin.
Voila! There we have it. Berlin in a microcosmic, bear friendly, fairytale-like nutshell. I should probably start writing my Graffiti paper due Wednesday. Will I? Probably not till tomorrow around this time. Hope everyone is well and that the US is working on its economy because this exchange rate is KILLING ME...
figuratively.
