A Complete Explanation Of Everything

Ice cold am Alex...

So yeah, 3 days in Berlin and it was very good indeed. The Park Inn, legendary 1000 bedroom behemoth of the former GDR lived up to it's reputation. Interior quirky Berlin design meant the bathroom was in the bedroom but it worked really well despite that.

Everything was cheap, convenient and with 24 hour drinking available, very bloody dangerous. The public transport is obviously legendary and the sites to be seen are amazing, from the wall itself, still in sections at Nordbahnhof, Checkpoint Charlie, the Brandenburg Tor or just generally strolling Under der Linden and Tiergarten, Berlin is a pretty spectacular place.

Went and had my Low / Lou Reed period on the Saturday night, heading to various pubs'n'clubs before settling on White Noise which was fun, if a little strange with the chicken wire / railings on the bar.

Then you know the usual...

So many a morning was wasted because of being wasted but Berlin is still a pretty motherfuckingly cool cultural place which I've the feeling I could be back to time and again but I need to get up to fighting strength and that will take some time.

For now, it's just a matter of the memories of being Ice Cold Am Alexanderplatz.

Was in Berlin, February before last and loved it. But I'm probably a German at heart :) Munich is still my fave, mind.
