Dorint Hotel Airport Berlin Tegel

... that was crazy. we went to this abadoned building that is like 5 stories high that is covered in graffiti. i was awesome. we also saw the gates that past officials used to use to get into the city. elections are monday so there is lots of bands and things around the city. we also saw the hotel where micheal jackson dangled blanket off the side of the balcony. HAHAHA Kim i thought of you. Of course last night we got some brattworst. it was so good! tonight we are ...

... The structures look a bit strange, almost like big metal webs halfway covering the buildings. They were all very cool to see and very big. We walked into the swimming hall where Mark Spitz won his seven gold medals and you couldn't wipe the smile off of Bekah's face if you tried. The pool is open to the public so there were quite a few people in there. We also went into the Olympic stadium and circled the top of it. It's filled with lime green seats and there ...

... the street market is right next to our hostel, so we walk 2 minutes and we are there. Boxhagener market is not bad but it's just a street market like any other. It doesn't have anything special, but we hag out there for a while. Later we go to Hackescher markt, an area with old buildings with beautiful courtyards. Very nice place, and there it is a big Ampelman Shop (the famous traffic lights green/red figures) so we spend a long time there buying ...

... river to Tachales, a bombed-out department store converted into artist's studios. It was an interesting place, and best of all--free! Some of the art was fairly good, and the rest was so-so. The entire building was plastered with graffiti and handbills. Thursday night from 6-10, many museums in Berlin are free, so we headed to "Museum Island" to take advantage of the discount. We toured through one of the art museums and a history museum before running out of time and returning to ...

... tour guides pouring/handing out shots on our walks to the different bars. A crazy night indeed, my friends. Crazy night indeed. Home around 5am. And with our bad night sleep from the night train, we allowed ourselves to sleep in and enjoy our room. Slow to move this morning, but it was a much needed slow day. Doing some laundry at the moment... I cant believe Mary & Kacey have waited this long to do wash. I feel like I stink and ...

... them are on the Buckingham Palace scale. I had wanted to visit Potsdam as the site of the Potsdam Conference and Declaration where the WWII victors got to divide the spoils. It must have been amazing in that era. At least one of Roosevelt, Churchill or Stalin must have been eyeing one of those palaces as their own. Joe got them though, and as a result they look like hell now. As a result of this excursion, we get to Berlin proper quite late in the day. But we ...

... passers-by looked at me as i were crazy. i had already packed my stuff and i had decided to take the train when a stylish young stopped and brought me to wuppertal, another city in ruhrpott area. there, the hh-spot was even worse, so i decided to take the train. tina told me, her ticket düdo-berlin had cost 40€ so i assumed that mine will cost about 35€. but i was ready to pay that although i cannot really afford it. i walked through the whole ...

... in the East under communism and the power of the secret police (or Stasi), which held the state up through an apparatus of brutal oppression and an invasive spy/informant network. Some of the exhibits were UNREAL! e.g. Glass jars with SMELL SAMPLES, used to track criminals using their bodies odours and highly trained dogs (extracted from bits of clothings or seats they had sat on). Many of the exhibits looked like something straight out of ...

... memorial is meant to make you feel like the Jews did during the WWII: lost, afraid, disoriented, scared etc. When I walked through with Sonya, we managed to get lost and we couldn't find each other because when you speak and listen, you can't tell where the sound is coming from and because it was at night, it added to the experience. A very useful memorial. We also visited the German Reichstag at night. The Reichstag is the German parliamentary building and after Hitler and his mates ...
