Between
the airport and The Makeup Show I had a few hours to play tourist in Berlin. My
tour was mostly limited to the Mitte area extending to Kreuzberg on my way
home. Here is what I saw...
Brandenburg
tour
Reichstag
Then
I got lost and came across a memorial and a pretty park...
The
Holocaust Memorial
Guess
who I ran into on my stroll down Unter den Linden? My favorite sparkly vampire
;-)

Curry 36
According
to my copy of the lonely planet, Curry wursts are a must when in Berlin. So as
a big fan of junk food I went down to Curry 36 and
tried them put for myself. As it turns out, I love them! I like all things
curry so this was no surprise.
Not
speaking a word of German was almost never an issue, thankfully most Germans
(or at least the Germans I met) speak good English too. I did however, go
round in circles once trying to get out of a train station because I didn't know what "Exit" was in
German. Its "Ausfart" by the way, just in case you were wondering
If
like me you are a chocolate sister, prepare to be stared at. I experienced the
same thing in Rome, I guess it has something to do with the fact that there
aren't that many of us there. Its harmless but if you are overly self conscious
this can get uncomfortable. I just pretend I'm a really glamorous celebrity
(like Beyoncé) spotted on vacation LOL!
I
had a great time in Berlin. Of course the people I was with and the make up
show I was there for had a lot to do with it. Berlin is one of the most
affordable European cities I have visited so far.
TTFN!
Im so jealous of your passport Stella!
