Berlin: Montag 07/03

We got up bright and early to go to school. Unfortunately, my time of writing this is Tuesday, so details may be a little fuzzy. Basically, we didn't have Sven or Jochen, but a new guy called Joerg (henceforth known as Joergi). What was funny was that we all did the Welle salute when he walked in to freak him out. Always a good way to make a first impression. Oh, when we had our break, Josh bought some chocolate with yoghurt in, which was strange and delicious.

Anyway, after school we went to Potsdamer Platz. If you remember, we to Potsdamer Platz last year and it was really busy, so it was interestin to see it with no one there. Joe, Josh and I then went back inside the U-Bahnhof to find some Bratwurst, which is the local delicacy. Josh got a huge, inch-thick slice of ham, which he thought the world of. He took the usual Josh reaction, as it were (that's saying 'wow' in a really amazed way, for those of you watching at home).

We were then supposed to go to a big plane wing in the middle of a street, but we had no idea where we were going. We arrived at the Gedaechnis Kirche and then an Indian guy sent us in the wrong direction. When we finally got our bearing it was actually Berlin's singposts that let us down. We passed the wing once because the sign said 250m, and the street was only 100m long, but then it sent us back 250m so we were mighty confused. Luckily I happened to have my hawk-eye attachment on me at the time, so I booted it up and spotted the plane wing. We were then at the story of Berlin museum. It was actually really interesting. Let me describe it to you in picture form.



When in Rome... 

Yup, we turned Josh into a statue. 







So, after that we went the to nuclear bunker, which has the possibility of holding 3,600 people. It has 1 bathroom for each gender, no showers, one isolation room and 2 kitchens. I don't mean to profane, but it was shit. Like, it would probably be better to die in the nuclear blast than to squat in that hell hole, where you will die after two weeks anyway. Yup, supplies and oxygen only last two weeks. They did an experiment with 20 people, so they had the potential to stay for months, but after two weeks health issues forced them out. So there you go.
Loads of beds

So after that we were left to our own devices. I don't mean to insult Josh by not mentioning him, but the next part of the day wasn't veru blog-worthy. Basically, we went to Media-Markt again.

Anyway, Westie and I then had this strange pancake thing with Herr Elimer. It was nice, but confusing. I did not know what I was eating.

After dinner, we had a few hours to kill, so I played Angry Birds for the first time. At first I was like, "Why are these birds so angry?" but then I went back to the first level and figured out why.
"Ah no! Where are the eggs?!"
*Pans to yellow angry bird* "Oh it better not have been...!"
*Pans to pigs* "Those bastard pigs took our eggs! Quick, let's hurl ourselves at them until they give in! To war!"
That's what they'd say if there were dialogue.

Anyway, Tuesday is tomorrow. Wicked.
