Too much fun

Dear blog readers. I've tried to find the time to write here. As you might have noticed I'm not doing that well. I still can't get the computers here to read the memorycard from my camera so there's no pictures in this post.



Elin and I explored as much of Berlin as we were able to in the little time we had. We went to Kurfürstendamm where we found ourselves some warm clothes and wondered what all the fuss was about. We took one of those (tip based) free tours led by an Austrailian, Elin says they always are, and felt that we got to see most of the sights. I've eaten at KFC and DunkingDonuts for the first time btw. though that's not very German i suppose. We have wondered about the difference between the S-bahn and the U-bahn, noticed the waterpumps all over town, that youre not allowed to play fotball on the playgrounds and that you insert the keys in the locks upsidedown from what we're used to.
The last night Elin was here we went out to have a drink and dance a little and on the 15 th Elin continued to Prauge and I went to see my next CS-host Judith.

Yesterday Judith, Suzanne, Ida and I went out partying. I'll try to post a bunch of pictures tomorow and you'll get to see Judith in traditional Bavarian clothing (octoberfest style ^.^). We started at the ackerkeller wich is a really cosy place much like the ones I wish we still had in Stockholm and then went on to SchwuZ. I really wish Elin could have seen SchwuZ. I think it's the type of place her friends have talked about when they've told her about the Berlin nightlife.

I'm going back to Stockholm tomorow and I'll do my best to give you a big post with lots of pictures as soon as I'm able to use my own computer again. There I'll tell you all about the Jewish museum with the metal detectors at the entrance and what conclutions Ida and I came to when batteling for best Scandinavian country over dinner yesterday.

  1. the basic concept of U and S Bahn is really UNDERGROUND and SCHNELL (fast).

    U Bahn is mostly underground (mostly in the city, when tunnels were simply necessary), S Bahn is mostly overground, covering greater distances which each station.
