Germany!

By now I've been in Berlin for a week, this being the final day we're staying here. It's been awesome! We're staying in a spacious apartment in the East that's pretty central etc, etc. We've had weather ranging from baking hot days to stormy evenings with thunder, lightning and hail stones bigger than grapes. In my time here I have...
Browsed the Mauer park market and bought lots of novelty earrings (cutlery, lemons, ketchup bottles); been to the Brandenburg gate; seen Mr Short just the once; been to a few museums, my favourite among these the German film museum which documents, most notably, the early German expressionist movement with the actual robot used in Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' (those who know me will know how cool I found this); seen a long preserved stretch of the Berlin wall; been locked in a vintage clothes shop by a window cleaner; eaten German cuisine like wiener schnitzel, curry wurst, sour kraut etc; seen a man dressed as a 17th century Prussian soldier dancing and playing the flute (anyone whose seen 'Anchorman', imagine the jazz flute sequence and you'll get the idea- if not, look it up anyway); been all around the city on a bus; been up the glass dome of the modern Reichstag; read lots; seen a man make his homemade human-size robot dance, cross its legs, tip its hat, drink and spit out water; walked around palaces in the sweltering heat; had an accordionist play up and down our street at the same time everyday; been to the oldest beer garden in the country; and had a German man buy me a box of strawberry sweets randomly while shopping for juice on my own (I couldn't understand him so I never found out why exactly- they were damn tasty though).

So yeah, I've done/seen quite a bit. Again, I've ended up rambling, so sorry for that! I'll most likely post something at some point in Brussels (we're only there for 4 days, so you can rest assured that I'll have less to say)

Anyway, wishing all a happy Olympics and remainder of summer!!
