computer has been saved! new hard drive with a new attitude.
last weekend i was in berlin. its a fascinating city...most of the buildings are either very new & modern, or were built during communism, so it's not your typical european city at all. everyone is very well-dressed...much more so than in prague where everything is about 5 years behind. went on a walking tour in the freezing cold, but got so much out of it: brandenburg gate, berlin wall, checkpoint charlie, holocaust memorial. we ate lunch at an italian restaurant - we were so cold and tired we were really just ready to eat anything. 6 of us stayed at a hostel called Meinenger, which was right next to the Haupbahnof train station, one of the main stations in the city so that was really convenient (along with all the late-night food offered). went to the east side galerie of the berlin wall - covered in amazing murals, goes on for miles. went to the jewish museum - so different from any Jewish museum in New York City...
the nightlife in berlin is unreal. went to a bar called Burger, which is apparently famous, and danced the night away to 1930s music with some Hipster Berliners. the next night we went to a so-so overpriced nightclub (which actually had an awesome DJ) but it was still pretty overpriced at 10euro, for what it was - one floor in a huge apartment building. didn't even being to compare to the club we went to the next night: Tacheles. AAAAAMMMMMMAAAAAZZZZZZIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG place. contemporary art gallery by day, night club by night. covered in graffiti from head to toe on the inside - pictures coming soon, as always. some asshole government officials are trying to tear down this work of art that is a building, so we all signed petitions! you can too: www.tacheles.de
alright so i hate to sound like an obnoxious jetsetter type, but i'm literally leaving right now to get on a plane to PARIS!!!!! helloooooo good food and wisco friends!
peace love & 3am taxis!
