Berlin

Berlin is an amazing city. I enjoyed my time in Edinburgh and I really had a great time in the Scottish Highlands, but nothing on this trip can compare to Berlin. The people are friendly (even if my German is poor and limited, and yes, I did learn a little bit of German before coming to Berlin), the streets are clean, the public transport is efficient, and the city has a diverse history. From my hostel room window I have a very clear view of what i believe to be the former Communist Party Headquarters. There is a large banner that says "F*** off Amerika!" on it.

I definitely plan to come back to Berlin at some point in my life.

Heck, I even tried Currywurst, which was really a brautwurst with ketchup and curry powder. It was really uneventful...

The only problem is that the internet connection here at my hostel is too slow, which is makes uploading photos very difficult and nearly impossible...

Tomorrow I am off to visit a Holocaust concentration camp just north of Berlin. That should be an interesting experience.
