Berlin


I just went to Berlin from May 3-9th and it was so much fun. It's definitely a neat city. Getting there was hell though. I took Eurolines and it's just the worst thing ever. Weird people/it smells/the seats BROKE MY BACK.

The food was cheap and amazing though in Berlin...and the beer(!!!).....so much better than Holland. One night we stopped at this Mediterranean place and for 4 euro 90 cents you got a "small" plate with up to 4 dishes on it. I got the best cous cous I've ever had, humus that melted in your mouth, and this stuff what was ground chickpeas with a good seasoning and cilantro....not sure what it was called. A huge glass of fresh squeezed apple and banana juice came with it, and the store owner was closing so he gave us a piece of cheesecake too......all for under 5 euros !!! Every morning for breakfast I went to this great cafe and had a nice piece of bread or a croissant. There was this other place called "Fresh N' Friends" which was a whole foods type store that had amazing food - AND it was open 24/7. It was a good place to stop after we came back at 6am from going out.... but um anyways I loved everything about Berlin. It had the coolest grafiti and music scene. It was a huge city and there is so much to do. I also went to the Jewish museum/holocaust museum and one of the many modern art galleries. I want to go back! I'm going to Paris on Wednesday .

Don't forget to see my post from Tokyo down below!
