Berlin
Nowhere near Berlin?
What's up guys. Yesterday we had a full day in Berlin. Old
east Berlin to be exact. It was pretty much like the pictures of the old Soviet days - lots of grafitti, broken buildings, etc. although the western world has made huge inroads as of late. The hostel we stayed in was lame - they took our money then told us our room we reserved wasn't available. We'd still have to pay the full price though, and stay in a way crappier room. Oh, did I mention the hostel was home to EVERY CHILD 12-14 years old in the world? It was like living in a middle school, and I swear I wanted to slap every one of them. If anyone is wondering the name of this hostel its
The All In Hostel, in Berlin. Everyone email them and tell them they are bush league. We did go on a cool walking tour of Berlin, and saw such things as the remaining Berlin wall, Checkpoint Charlie, Hitlers Bunker (just ground), and many many bears. Also saw where Einstein taught, and some cool museums. By the way, if anyone's wondering, "Hey, can people just wonder the streets with two beers
Memorial
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of World War II in their hands, and nobody cares?", the answer is yes. Also, in Berlin, if you're a hippie you don't wear shoes when you go for a stroll. Tons of barefoot people wandering the streets. Also we ate some cool sushi at Papa No. Did you know that the new central station in Berlin also houses the trendiest new McDonalds in the world? It was fancy. Really. I felt underdressed. Oh hey, I´m hairy and have a beard! (this is Kevin talking). Right now we're in Malmo, Sweden for a couple days then heading back to Berlin (different Hostel). Oh, everytime I say the word "Berlin", Renata starts talking like the crazy truck driver from Eurotrip. Yahhh! Nowhere near Berlin. Berlin! She's crazy. I'm crazy too. We took a night train/boat and slept in a couchette with a picture perfect Swedish family. All blond, with blond children, fashionably dressed, and in great shape. It was funny. Ok well Imä go now. Låter.
