BERLIN

Berlin is amazing.
(Bare with me, tzping fast and the y and z kezs are in different spots than usual, but switched places coincidentallz)
Its snowing like crazy, but its not windy so its no big deal. Its a dry snow too, compared to London which was real wet.
Its crazy how pretty Berlin is despite being a prettz new citz. I think the best advice I have to anzone looking to travel is to find the free walking tour and do it. The people that do the tours are prettz smart for the most part, and know a lot about the citz thez are showing to zou. I have done them in 4 citzs now and have had a good time on each one. Despite the snow the Berlin tour was reallz fun and informative. Its nice to get all the historz of a place while hitting all the major spots in a prettz timelz fashion.

Berlin is also a lot easier for me to navigate compared to previous cities. It has a nice lazout that is how citzs should be, none of the winding streets and everzthing looking the exact same like Amsterdam did. I got to go to the Berlin Dom for an evening prazer and ended up stazing there for 3 hours doing some reading. So far mz favorite church bz far. It verz beautiful and it was nice to see a grandios Protestant church.

Berlin is also littered with Starbucks and Dunkin Doughnuts. Thez love it here. I went to Dunkin for the first time in mz life, at least from what I can remember, and it was prettz good. Fortunatelz Berlin also has a ton of cool coffee shops is perfect locations for people watching. Balyacs was one of the shops that I was prettz happz with. The best street food Ive had so far has been in this citz as well.. Currz Wurst is deep fried sausage with a currz sauce and then there is the best Kebob Ive had in mz life (Much better than Paris). Its also nice being in a resonablz priced citz finallz. London Paris Amsterdam all seemed quite expensive compared to Germanz. Which coincidentallz has the largest economz in Europe. Oh... AND I am in the nicest hostel Ive stazed at so far, its called Wombats and thez have them in Munich and Vienna also, both citzs I plan on visiting and will probablz staz in this hostel there as well.

Its too bad Im bad at names, for both buildings Ive seen and people Ive met. When I get home I feel like I am going to have all these recommendations for people on places to go and see and streets to visit but wont be able to recall the names.

Berlin also has some of the best bars and dancz club places that Ive been to. Some of the clubs are open 48 hours on the weekends and packed with people listening to crayz technoish music. I think Im going to go to a concentration camp tomorrow morning, I figure its one of the things zouve got to do while in Germanz.

Can anzone tell me how to pronounce ß and µ its quite strange. Anzwaz Im prettz sure I could live in Germanz. All the people are nice, its beautiful, and outside of the citzs there is a lot of forest and wilderness. Prague is the next stop, probablz get there some time within the next couple dazs, unfortunatelz I dont think its supposed to stop snowing for a while. Take care

  1. Hey Kzle!! Sounds like zou are having an amaying time in Germanz!! Can't help you with the 2 letters you asked about, though! Glad zou are finding some fun food to trz. Zou are much braver than me - I would probably starve to death over there!! Maybe you need to keep a note pad with you so you can make notes of the places & sites you have seen! I'm sure they are getting all jumbled up in your mind having seen so much already! We look forward to reading about your adventures :) Sounds like you are learning a lot about how to get to places and where to stay, etc.. - you are going to be the "go to" guy whenever anyone travels to that part of the world! Anzwaz - staz safe and we'll catch you later! We love zou :)

  4. Kyle,
    Have you been to checkpoint Charlie?
    Let me know if you find any good deals on old Mercedes turbo diesels. Might need to add another one to the collection. I heard from a really good friend that Prague is a beautiful place with lots of friendly people. You’re an inspiration, son.
    Love, Dad
    PS Keep warm!
