-Stay in a hostel build inside of an old brewery in an old East Berlin industrial complex. And, the ground floor is a hip and happening bar filled with all kinds of fascinating people from the alternative side of things in Berlin. Tattoos, techno music... The whole shebang. Sweet.
-Have my "disgusting English" jokingly insulted by a man dressed in a teddy bear costume. In front of the Brandenburg Gate. What?
-Watch Mickey Mouse kick back and have a smoke. Again, in front of the Brandenburg Gate. Again, what?
-Stand outside of the hotel where the late King of Pop himself famously dangled his baby off a balcony. We are truly following in the footsteps of giants.
-Stand in front of an old Prussian building that Jackie Chan himself jumped off of. Truly inspiring.
-Naked people. Everywhere. Well... Naked STATUES everywhere. Although, from what I hear, the actual naked people aren't hard to find in Berlin. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
-Get coffee from Starbucks in Berlin. Big surprise: exactly the same as literally everywhere else.
-Attend the world premier of a string quartet piece featuring ocean noises, quarter tones, recordings of Papal speeches, guitar-violin, blowing into the f-holes, and dropped-A cello tuning. It doesn't get much better than that.
Conclusion: Berlin. Is. Rad.
