Berlin.

After a shit Ryanair flight, with a pilot who obviously hasnt ever flown before and is from the Philiopines. So being 4 hours behind scheduel as well wasnt easy. I just made the last train into town from the airport. so after walking around like a fool for a while, i found the hostel, in some awsome old building.

So after a day of flash floods, and walking around aimlessly, i met perri and paige at the hostel. afer talking in my sleep and waking up the 5 dutch girls in my room by screaming kanker in my sleep, and having them tell me they thought i was dutch and crazy the next morning. oh god. they were cool though, and bought me several heinikens and chatted about field hockey and anal sex.

so perri, paige and i went to a classy asian resteraunt, and caught up on travel stories. we also checked out this street art gallery shop thing with expensive, but great, arty stuff.

I met Matze the next night, and he took me to a few bars on this street where everybody acts like they are at a model casting, hence its difficult german name. After this we took a beer each for the train, very cheap, and met some of his friends, a supercute german girl and this guy from brisbane. perri and paige had an early night but i decided to go with them to this warehouse party thing. It was great, walking up these dodgy stairs and creeping through curtains of fabric to each room. The toilets were very public too.

After a shit pill, we danced like maniacs to a 60 year old Italian DJ who rappedover the tracks.

That night i got home way too early and the attempted to flirt, drunk as hell, with the cute german guy at the reception of the hostel.

The next night we all head to Matze's place for a home cooked meal, and to admire his appartment which was very very nice. We traded horrifiying work stories, and talked about wanky german fashion, which i thought was ok.

Berlin is the kind of city you want to live in whn you are young, and when you are old, you feel young. It has a strange captivity that really makes you fall in love with it, but you cant know why. Ill be back soon.
