No I
haven’t been up to nothing in the last few weeks, but I’m finally at a
destination I haven’t been to before. It was a quick decision, but a good one.
I planned my trip five days before departure and in a few hours which was
intense. Luckily all the pressure and planning paid off cause I’m currently in Berlin.
It
took me a bus, train and airplane to get here so I had a rather exhausting
day. Upon arriving it took some time to
get to the hostel. The transport system (metro) was a bit comical at first
because they looked like they were made for transportation in a zoo or
amusement park. However they did have character. The trip from the airport to
the centre of Berlin – where my hostel is located - took about half an hour which meant seeing a
bit more of Berlin. The buildings and areas we passed were quite secluded and
looked forlorn. Buildings were basically made of graffiti, making the dull
areas look a lot less dull. I was in awe at how the people moved around, each
with a significant purpose.
While
on the topic of people, I should say that they diversity was very refreshing.
Not only were the races diverse, but also the fashion. I’ve heard about Berlin
fashion and Googled it, but seeing it n real life was quite different. People
seemed to dress in all types of clothing. Yes, people dress differently
everywhere, but too me in Berlin it was more highlighted. I wasn’t able to
capture these fashionable outfits; but a simple Google search will broaden your
style horizons.
When
I finally arrived at the hostel I was in zombie mode so I did the most obvious
thing and slept. When I woke up it was around eight so I went for an evening
walk. I found the costume shop I wanted to visit and was not disappointed. I
did some window shopping and enjoyed the Berlin air. So far the city has been
great so I suspect the rest will be even better!
