Now I've got the random memeageness out of the way, stories from Berlin...
First of all OMG the apartment we rented was just above Hitler's Bunker!!!
This excited me so much. For one thing, anybody who's been to Berlin will know that that means it was right next to the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, the Tiergarten, the Holocaust Memorial, and the Gendarmenmarkt, not to mention Friedrichstrasse which is the main shopping district on the East side... So, right in the middle, basically. Plus, this was particularly exciting for me, because the last couple of times I stayed in Berlin, I went on a walking tour and when they showed us where the bunker was, they told us about how the apartments above it were for Communists who were high up in the party etc. And I stayed in on of those apartments!! Seriously, I can't express how cool it was.
I'll put some pictures up on facebook and link across soon, when I can be bothered to plug my camera into my laptop. So more stories will follow :)
