City of the day: Berlin = Berlino

Hey guys,

So Im writing this from Berlin where the keyboards are all messed up.  All of the punctuation is in the wrong place and the y and z buttons are transposed.  However, I dont really feel like fixing my tzpos so youll have to deal with it.  Tonight is Thursdaz night, my third day in Berlin.  Before I start, let me just say italians are all very confused when you talk about Berlin.  They very rarely make the connection that Berlin is the american way to say Berlino.

Anyway i arrived in Berlin Tuesdaz afternoon on EasyJet.  Technically my carryon was too large, it didnt fit in the little size measurer thingy at the check in, but I was actually dressed up nicely with a sportcoat and the nice lady behind the desk didnt make me check the luggage (and charge me monez) and instead let me take it on anyway.  So we landed safely enough, found the Ubahn and found the right straße and checked into the hotel.  By know its about 9pm and were all really hungry.  (I flew in with 4 other students from mz program). So the concierge recommended a greek place down the street.  He said that we were all strong looking young lads, and that they have hearty portions and serve good German beer.  So anyways, we made our way to Samos.  I had the roast lamb (served with potatoes, onions, and tomatoes, all mixed intogether kind of like a stew, Dad would have hated it).  It was great.  My classmates have various assortments of gyro combination platters.  And their dishes were literally stack so meat upon stacks of meat with potatoes on the side.  Ive never seen so much food for 10 euros. Especiallz meat!  Especially lamb!  So the food was terrific.  The tzatiki sauce was out of this world.  And the beer was good.  They gave us ouzo as a digestif after dinner.  It was fabulous. 

After we walked down the street and found a weird bar.  It was called Klo, which means toilet.  They had all these weird dolls, and coffins and stuff everywhere.  The really big beers were served in the hospital jar things that people pee in.  It was all very bizarre. The buttons on the table raised and lowered the table which was on hydraulics, some o fthe buttons tilted chairs and stuff.  It was creepy.  I didnt stay for a drink.  Two of my friends did though and thats how i know about all the weird stuff.  We actually met two germans in the street.  They had beer (no open container laws in europe) and we started to talk about stuff.  They gave us recommendations on bars and waht not.  It was nice to meet germans.  They were very friendly.

The architecture tours that weve been on have been really great.  It would be much easier to explain everything once I upload my pictures to shutterfly.  So ill just wait until i do that.  Thats all for now.  Ciao.
