Since leaving the south I've been keeping myself busy and also adjusting to the climate change. It went from 75 and sunny to 30 and cloudy in Berlin. Go figure, I ended up feeling sick as soon as I got off the plane. The following days I slept while my friends went out and discovered the city. Bogus. After some much needed rest I finally got out to see Berlin on a free tour led by a guy who used to give them in Munich. I saw the Brandenburg Gate and some other historical sights. I don't remember much considering I was in a heavy cold-medicine haze. Feeling much better the following days I got out of the room and made some friends. I met up with Liam and Nathan, two Aussie guys that my classmate Brittany met in Spain. I also hung out with some other Aussies and some Canadians and we had a really good time. I went with Brittany to see the Berlin Wall and some local alternative street art. That was incredible. I can't even describe it. Alex met up with us later in the week. More fun/ chaos ensued.
The three of us left for Prague with the addition of our Aussie friend Nathan... he had some complications with his passport and Liam had to go to Dubai without him. We reached the trainstation late in the evening and got hassled by someone trying to convert our Euros into Czech Koruna. This is obviously a scam so we walked away as fast as we could. The night got better when we ate our Thanksgiving feast. Even though we couldn't have turkey and the usual fixings, we had stir fry, mashed potatoes, green beans, meat, cheese, bread and wine. It was incredible. The Aussies were SO excited to be experiencing American Thanksgiving.
We also did a really cool pub crawl and went and saw the Castle in Prague. Apparently it's the largest in Europe.
It was SO hard saying goodbye to our Aussie friends. The last day we spent under a historical bridge eating sausages and drinking beer saying our goodbyes. I just hope it's not the last time I get to see them.
