A Second Jelly Donut

Yo. So it always happens that I forget to post for a few days, then I want to get a thousand posts done all at once, and then I quickly lose patience, and then quality declines, profits slump, and layoffs are inevitable. So it goes.

Thursday I went on a walking tour, which was free and nice. Like I said, Berlin is not a small city, so I kinda think I may have preferred a bus tour. The guide was great, so that was nice, but we really only saw a couple places. The gate, Gendarmenmarkt, a couple memorials, the parking lot above Hitler’s bunker, Checkpoint Chuck, etc. Don’t worry, there are pictures.

I also went to the Bauhaus museum, which had a wide selection of really quite boring kitchen chairs on display, yet was still somehow interesting. I also checked out the German history museum, which is so, so, so big. So big. It was cool though, especially, I think, because the whole idea of “Germany” is relatively recent, it was fun to see how it developed throughout the centuries and kingdoms, etc. It was appropriate gigantic for its subject, but I think I’d prefer a book-lengthed museum as opposed to this, a set-of-encyclopedias-lengthed museum.

Friday night I went out with friends of mine, which is kinda funny, cause we’ll both be back at school next week and it won’t be notable if we hang out. I was planning on spending another couple days in Berlin, but I started to realize how short my trip is, so I decided to hit the road and go to Hamburg. So we’ll catch up with myself in Hamburg some time tomorrow.
