Third Reich

Well today was an incredibly draining day. The hostel room last night saw its share of crazy with one Mexican girl that was out of it and kept us all up all night, and today I spent another good 6 hours`or more walking.
It was a great day though. I met a really awesome couple from the Toronto area and we are going on a pubcrawl tomorrow night, which should be awesome! The roomates are switched up, but now I am in a room with 4 guys and myself, so it is a little awkward but should be ok, two are from Greece, one from Montreal and the other I have not met. Seem nice and normal enough.

So today I took another walking tour, this time called the 'Third Reich' where we went to many important sites of that time and I learnt a ton from the tour guide. We went to the Nazi air force headquarters (now the tax building), the SS and Gestapo headquarters, Goebbel's propaganda ministry, the Soviet memorial, the Neue Synagogue (one of six to survive Kristallnacht), the old Jeiwsh district and the Jewish cemetary. It was really awesome. I learnt so much today that I didn't know before, and have noticed a few patterns within the history of Germany I cannot wait to research once home. There is so much to see and experience in Berlin it is a shame I have only two more full days here and need to do human things that take up time, like eat and sleep.

Tomorrow I was going to go to Saucheshausen but I think I might take it easy tomorrow and do a little shopping instead, maybe see some more museums and the like, try not to walk as much... my body is pretty angry and run down from all the go-go-go, but I hate to waste time. I will go to Sauchenhausen on Thursday during the day, as I leave Friday morning for Munich.

I also went to the German Historical Museum this morning and saw German history basically from the beginning of time, which was pretty fantastic. I am in love with the vibe of this city, and will definately be back.

Anyways, I have nothing more to add, must get going and see more!


Love you all,
