Sunrise
This is from our hostel window sill. Very cool to just hang out and chill. So drunk dont know how i got a stable shot Wow really cant explain how cool this town is. We ve been eating cheap and drinking cheap (well sort of). The weather is clutch. 30-38 degrees love it. We got in yesterday and did a mad tour of the city. Like 5 hour walk. it was all good. Its quite hard to pronounce german but we try. Directions are a mess but we ve got the city down now. Some of the sites we checked out are amazing. Brandenburger Tor (gate) is probably the most famous. Its the 4 horses pulling a chariot on top of this giant gate. amazing. That was also where the berlin wall was and it ran all through the city seperating east and west. The wall is basically gone except on the east side where it is covered in grafiti. Real neat art going on there. At Alexanderplatz is where the tv tower(with giant soccer ball on it for world cup) , a square named after the tsar Alexander 1 who was in berlin in like 1805 or something. Everything was bombed to shit in the war but in the 60s they refurbished everything. They did a pretty damn good job. But on the the clubs.
Brandenburger ´Tor
Ive seen pictures but doesnt compare to the real thing. I dont even care that it was bombed and rebuilt this was cool Bars or clubs dont usually get pumping around 11 or 12. So on night on we went to a nice patio style bar and our lovely roomates (Hollie and Lisa from England) joined us for the shitshow. They are sweethearts. Drank giant huge pint mugs of freash pilsner. Man a good bicep workout there. LOL. But after we headed to a club called cafe Burger. What a meat market. M and Lisa and Hollie danced like crazy lunatics and I was constantly gaurding them from the 95% male crowd. The place was cool though good music and cheap beer also it was very close to the Hostel. The serious clubs were on the other side of town and the transit is sketchy. Plus me and navigation and booze do not mix. We met a rasta style kindo´of german. Such a character. He rolled a giant splif right in the club. So we dabbled a bit but man so sweet. what a guy. So night one finished with a sweet lighting show and sunrise. We grabbed my new guitar at about 5am and headed down the steet. After playing the girls a few tunes some german came up to me and
Guy killing a lion
This goes back to the old school Roman empire times. A very cool museum type square was like 'hey DJ bust me a beat man'. So i did and WOW a hammered german rapper. He was quite good. I was impressed. So i did a fat bluse tune then a slower quiter Aminor based song. It was very different. Everyinbe has to check Varleys video camera. He has it down. So day 2 we took the girls for a tour. Quite a shitty tour cuy i fogot everything i read about the sites due to the mass booze intake. But we helped them see the city. What cool place. Alot of live music randomly on the steet. O yeah our first day me and Jordan fell vitim to a serious street scam. 100 euro in about 30 seconds. hahahaha. It was a gambling type game. Jordan insisited so tryed but found later the guy used slight of hand tricks to hide the ball in his hand. Man i wish we we'rent on the main drag cuz we would have got our money back and some. Yes Jordan just brought me an ice cold Beck's gold. Hangover cure. So yeah were over the loss of money and back on track with our budget. Meals have been great
The wall Baby
some wild art going on here. Got meself a little chunk of it for the journal around 6 euro for both of us with drinks. ALot of gyros and shwarma, keh-babs. All dirt cheap. So last night we started off wtching the swissukraine game and cheap drink at our hostel. And what a hostel: swipe cards, hardwood floorstiles, bar with big screen downstairs, all u can eat breakfast(my fav even made our lunces and smuggled them out), CHEAP DRINKS; did i say about the breakfast of freash fruit, musili, yogurt, veggies, pasta, bread, meats, cheese, anything u could think of. So last night after the predrink we went back to Cafe Burger again. Got just trashed. A sort stagger home to get my guitar and then another sunrise. So beautiful. Played some music then passed out. Good times. The girls left for Amsterdam this morning (Very jealous LOL). Its sad they only have like 4 days of there trip left. REaLLY SWEET GIRLS: They taught us how to speak wiht a British accent. U FUKING WANKER! This was a common expression of our night. LOL. But good times. I also met Aofie form Ireland and shes gonna give me some places to play music wiht her dad and brothers.
