These last two days have been very difficult.  Not having a proper illness, or eating something a bit sketchy, I was feeling quite run down.  I had very little energy, or will for that matter, to do anything.  Some laundry, a little exploration of my new neighborhood, some reading and writing was all  I was able to manage.  I tried visiting the German History Museum, but could barely focus and had to leave before I got all the way through it.  It seemed like a decent place, but I was too out of it to care.

The hostel I was at was really strange.  There are 13 beds, very small even for a small hostel. The dorm room I was in was huge, with 6 beds in a space most places would put 12.  Each bed 'area' had a curtain around it so you could have almost total privacy.  In that sense it was quite good.  But the hostel wasn't even full and during the day there was no one around.  No One!  The people that did filter in a out occasionally kept to themselves so there wasn't anyone to talk to or hang around with.  I was really hoping for some excitement in Berlin and I managed to choose the exact wrong place for that.  Oh well.
The neighborhood I was in was interesting though.  I was mainly Turkish, covered in graffiti, and very inexpensive.  I never felt unsafe though, even late at night.
In spite of my mini-depression, things were going to get better...
