guten tag.

so my flight to Berlin ended up being a flight to Hanover on what i assume to be a toy plane, then a train ride to Berlin.

Original plan:
.Do not miss my flight

New Plan:
.Fly to Hanover because booking another flight to Berlin would have been 380 euros.
.Take a train to Berlin

i knew nothing about Hanover but was told that it is 156 miles from Berlin.


















so i make it to Hanover, spend 30 minutes there, then got a train ticket to Berlin. this is 120 euros later, and i am not pleased with myself. but i was in Germany! and i had a bratwurst that was delicious.

FYI: i am not a vegetarian in Europe. i had many sausage delights. many equals 6. i also had Blutwurst (blood sausage) with sauerkraut. also, schnitzel. all amazing. oh yes. and beer of course.














i made it to EastSeven Berlin Hostel 5 hours later than i was suppose to. but it is a great hostel, i met some people there, and we all collectively decided to go out. there was more than 10 of us easily. and we somehow ended up at a goth club. we decide that there may be something else for us besides the "last cathedral". we left, the drunk boys almost got into a fight with goth boys, we wandered, rode the underground.

Underground in Berlin: basically free. i did not buy one ticket all weekend. and it's open 24 hours on the weekend.















then i saw some sights.

Highlights:
.remains of the Berlin Wall (first picture)
.Holocaust Memorial (third picture)
.Currywurst (bratwurst with curry sauce)
.free underground
.little green man with a hat (sixth picture)
.cigarettes can be purchased from a vending machine (seventh picture)
.Sunday flea markets
.hip hop club i had no business being at, but had fun, and saw a man or, "the man", wearing a city of Compton shirt (video below)
