Have you noticed that I’m a little bit behind in my updating? Sorry. It’s been a super fun week though, which has led to me not being so enthusiastic about sitting computerwise and typing. So, where were me?

Ah yes. Berlin. I got there on Tuesday afternoon. When I arrived, I realized I had no idea about anything about Berlin. At all. Like, is the airport near town or like 50 kilometers away? Is there a train, or is it a bus city? What’s nice? What’s terrible? Luckily, using the airport wifi and some friends who respond to e-mail quickly, I got some hostel recommendations, and I was soon on my way to town! Hooray!

I’ve got two friends in Berlin this summer, and I was able to meet up with one of them that night. We went out to a handful of cool bars, though I don’t remember their names or where they were. That’s not a being drunk thing, that’s a Berlin is a giant city and I wasn’t really paying attention thing.

Speaking of which, Berlin is a giant city! Previously, every city I’d visited has been tiny. If something looks really far on a map, it’s probably a ten minute walk. In Berlin, if something looks really close, it’s probably a twenty minute walk and two train stations. That’s what happens when you finally get to a normal sized city though. Anyhow, Wednesday was a little bit lame. I got up late, which was fine, and then I spent most of the day doing laundry. Kind of a silly way to spend limited time in a new city, but it had to be done. Now I don’t have to do it again until I’m back in my own home which, as I write this, is technically tomorrow. Wow.
