berlin.. berlin..

not doing any work tonight.. then again, when have i ever done work since i started sep??

i finally went away from hamburg.. looking forward really much to the trip to berlin but it's unfortunately not as great as i expected it to be.. maybe coz it's too short?? maybe coz there's too much that i wanna see but there's no time or coz i dunno how to get there?? maybe coz i spent too much time in the museums?? maybe like what rongjia said, coz i'm simply not a history student?? too many maybes..

left for berlin on friday at 845 am.. nice train ride but didn't fall asleep, as a result, i fell asleep in the bus during the city tour, only to wake up just in time to catch the remains of the berlin wall.. the city tour was crap.. it was as good as a 'touch-and-go' session.. and finally when we got to photo-worthy places, the sun has already set.. i'm so motivated for the trip.. boo.. spent 2 hours in the berlin wall museum at checkpoint charlie.. goodness!!

saturday was spent in museums as well.. the deutsche filmmuseum and the pergemon museum.. well, if you are into film history and greek mythology, they would appeal to you as well.. but dinner was good.. had mushrooms with baked potatoes and turkey!! schmeckt sehr gut.. lecker!! und tomatensuppe auch.. yummy!! as usual, the rest of the group went partying and the finnish guys are the best of the lot.. they went till it's so late, they skipped much of the tour to sleep in..

the last stop was the judische museum on sunday morning.. man, it was huge but i wished that it was the holocaust museum instead.. guessed that will interest me much more.. anyway, with a museum too huge and too little time, as usual, we didn't finish the museum.. it was then 1215pm.. in the name of not missing the train, we were at the hauptbahnhof by 1245 though our train was at 1345.. so exciting right?? there's nothing much at the hauptbahnhof area..

so yeah, that's the end of my trip.. if there's anything to comfort me, i bought a piece of the berlin wall, hoping that it's authentic.. and a shot glass, which has a huge crack, but i love shot glasses, so no comments allowed.. man, i'm gonna have a big problem bringing everything home.. too much glass and too many rocks..

think i caught a bug on the train back from berlin.. coz i'm coughing like nobody's business now.. hmm.. but no biggies.. if anything, i'm insured by 55 euros/month + 10 euros/3 months.. dumm!!

hmm.. wondering what to do this weekend.. studies seems to be the last thing on my mind.. oh no, i need a brainwashing session to wake myself up and study.. =P
