承蒙包包拔刀相助，我把那些火車呀，砌圖呀，巴黎旅遊指南呀，統統抽出來，今晚起寄存在包包的宿舍裡，直至我十天後重返柏林為止。 觀賽前吃了炒麵，竟然胃痛。在場內等呀等的，到最後才知包包被人潮所阻，會合不了，就這樣忍著胃痛，再一次一個人看球賽。 今天很辛苦，天氣越來越熱，最辛苦是比之前潮濕，很多男人脫去上衣，擦身而過，想起便噁心。 人群對著大電視唱卡拉OK，聽著他們唱"Finale in Berlin"倒又能令人提起勁來。 VIDEO-"54,74,90,2006" 其實在第三賽分組賽之前，德國隊已經鐵定出線，但踢罷第三場德國隊以首名出線後，市面仍然異常熱鬧沸騰，場面跟之前在慕尼黑的兩場相比，更加壯觀。 比賽後在Hbf乘電梯時後面的男人摸摸我背上的'Schneider'，說了很多句，我才聽得明他說Schneider 打得好。花了1小時（Unter den Linden賽後封閉了，白癡地蕩至AlexanderplatzHbfFriedrichstraβePotsdamer Platz!!!!）終於到了Potsdamer Platz，在等候包包時，有人慢慢走過來gives his 5，但很害羞似的，結果我給了他一記認真的5。又一個人好像跟我互打眼色，今次終於由我主動give me 5了！ 你們明白在德國穿上德國球衣跟數以萬計的德國人為德國隊打氣的感覺嗎？ fan fest in berlin is too big in size, the weather has become more humid, therefore i'm really tired today, and drank about 1 litre of cola all in once. i admit that i miss the fan fest in münchen, it's size was optimum. when ... read more

柏林，04年來訪時我仍然想努力尋找二戰過後的遺跡；今次再來，曾經佈滿彈痕的國會大廈，對出空地已變成「縮小了的Olympiastadion」──'Adidas World of Football'，想忘記，原來容易得很。你想它是甚麼，它便成為甚麼。 今天本來想「掃館」，但「頭盤」Deutsches Historisches Museum，已啃了3個半小時（原來04年看漏了一大部份展館！），回到街上，熱得要命，走進Fan Fest現場（瑞士對多哥），場面冷清得嚇人，最後惟有投降，買了可樂以及改為逛商場，Alexanderplatz的Saturn幾乎又釀成意外。 之後跟包包在Hbf吃完晚飯到了Olympiastadion，一如所料，完全封鎖。... read more

1506　Praha-Holesŏvice 3號月台　晴 　　整體來說Praha比Wien要好，建築物更「原汁原味」，物價更低，包包說這裡的女孩比較漂亮，但很快又發現，她們的服務態度往往不佳。 　　我們共用了€30買了約1450kc，經我們「宏觀調控」後，現在上車前，身上只剩下0.5kc，火車站店舖的「牙屑錢」真好賺。 the railway between czecho-german border and Dresden was non-stop, the train was the older version of DB (the one runs to Prague was "so eastern-europe", it meant "old", haha), so i could opened half of the window, that's the first time in this journey, so late it came. the train run along the river, because it's non-stop for a long distance, the train accerlerated, i thought it had reached 180-200kmh. under this speed, by the river, it recalled my days in morsel in 2004, eventually i remember why i wanted to be here again. only by the speed and wind, could blowed everything away, that's what i was looking for so long. on board i finished reading more that 10 pages of "the lord of the rings", good. url=http://www.y... read more

So I arrived in Berlin after getting off at the wrong Berlin stop and then checking the schedule and getting on a train which claimed to go where I needed to go and having all the German's tell me I was wrong. I ended up calling my couchsurfing host, Thomas, and he devised this whole plan, when in the end, all the German travellers were wrong and I was right, the train stopped at the main station after all. Right when I made it to Alexanderplatz to meet Thomas, it began to pour. We ran through the huge droplets to the car and by the time we arrived we were both soaking wet.... read more

We got up early this morning and caught the bus into town with our new American friends Dustin and Emily and met up with our group at Zoo station. The tour guide was actually an American as well, but had German parents and grew up speaking German. He is currently studying history at the Berlin Uni and has been living in the city for the past 6 years, so we were able to forgive his American accent. The walking tour was fantastic. It went for about 4 hours all around the city and he gave us some great insights on the city's history. We saw sights like the TV Tower - where the East Berliners tried to show their technological dominance over the West, only to need to get Swedish contractors in to actually do the ... read more
