Don't Mention The...

I arrived on schedule in Berlin at 5 AM on Wednesday morning and proceded to taking the train to my dear friend and former classmate Joanna's appartment in Neukölln. I stayed here with Emily, another dear friend and studybuddy from the past for two days, doing the touristy stuff, which mostly consists of looking at a wall by day followed by drinking German beer by night, before Elias arrived late Thursday evening. The two of us then moved across town to Charlottenburg where we were wonderfully accepted at a friend called Jenny's place. From here we continued on the same travel itenirary of touristing followed by beering, visiting amongst other sites an interesting radar-tower used by the Americans during the Cold War. Berlin was full of surprises, for one everybody speaks German, something I thought was taken care of some 66 years ago. The weather was rather grey most of the time as was a lot of the city to be honest, but it was all brought to life thanks to the friendly and colourful people who inhabit it. I leave you with that cheesy line, and can tell you all that Elias and I somehow managed to catch an early (10:48) train this morning and are currently in Prague, but more about that in the next installment.
