Auf Wiedersehen!

Germany. What can I say? It’s Germany. And it’s winter. Think gray skies and freakin’ cold temps. I wasn’t really sure what to expect in Berlin, but everyone I talked to about it loved it, except for our friend Christian. He wins. Berlin wasn’t all that fantastic. EXCEPT for the Christmas markets. I loved them.

We still had a great time. It just wasn’t my most fav. The first night was the best. We went to see Chromeo, a fantastic band I saw in Chicago over the summer and fell in love with, who just happened to be playing while we were in town. They put on a great show, and even though we had to wait in line in the freezing cold for over an hour to get in, it was well worth it. Gotta love Berlin’s clubs.

We saw the Berlin Wall - which is covered with art & graffiti, something we orginally thought was the Berlin Wall,  some Christmas markets, ate some sausages, drank some Hefeweizen… and that’s pretty much about it.

Oh, at this market, we found a one-legged, pregnant Barbie doll for sale! So creepy, but it made us laugh real hard.

Berlin was our last stop in Europe.  We had such a fantastic time there.  Now, off to Thailand!
