The Berlin Invasion

So I emailed Marlon and told him we were coming to Berlin, in 5 hours. A little short notice. Luckily he had just finished school and doesnt have a job so the timing was perfect. On tuesday we arrived and were tired so we just crapped out early, nothing special. Wednesday we woke up and ate an awesome breakfast of eggs, potatoes and bacon, first warm breakfast we have had in a while (Marlons mom is awesome) and hit the road to see what this city is about. We enjoyed some coffee in the ''dead zone'' which is the place inbetween the walls where gaurds would shoot anyone they saw in it. We went to the WWII museaum, which was built where the SS/Gestapo Headquarters use to be. Creepy, but it had a great timeline of how the third reich came into power. Then we went to the Holocost memorial which was really awesome and if you didn't know would assume it's a giant place to play hide and go seek( I will upload pictures eventually). Then we saw the rest of this awesome city, alot of which was destroyed during the war. We decided to meet up with the brits from Frankfurt, so the fun begins. We met them at their hostel bar and had a few and they convinced us to come on a ''pub crawl'' with them. Okay the pub crawls here involve paying some company 10 euros to walk in a group and you get a jager shot with every beer you buy. Odd, I know. So we were going hard for 2 bars, definately being the most lively ones then the jager started to get to us, mainly marlon. We acted as human crutches for him to escort him to the next bar where we only stayed long enough to say bye to the brits. Somehow marlon got us to the subway station although he had a difficult time walking. He vomited on the subway which I thought was funny. Earlier in the day we heard an announcement on the subway ''mind the gap'' speaking of the gap between the subway and platform we laughed becasue we thought it was impossible. Well I am a pretty amazing person and managed to get my leg wedged in there, all the way up to my knee. Luckily the subway didn't take off and I still have a leg, seriously, shit could have gone very wrong.

Thursday we didn't feel so good but the weather was perfect so we decided to go swimming in a lake marlon knew of. We saw a moderate ammount of people hanging out but no one swimming. After inspection of the water we understood why, it was fucking cold. Thinking that it couldn't be worse then barton springs I jumped in and I thought I was going to die. Stayed in for about 45 seconds then got out hoping my dick had not receeded into my stomach. We just chilled soaking up the sun drinking some beers watching germans be germans, which includes but is not limited to bringing a ghetto blaster to a serene lake to play shitty techno. We met up with marlons friend and headed back to his house where we met up with another of his friends and proceeded to chill. We drank some the finest polish vodka that has straws of grass a buffalo pissed on, it is said to enhance the taste. His friend made some badass mojitos and spaghetti and we continued to chill. Then we dicided to go to playground near marlons house and we had some ''coffee'' and got on this spinny thing that almost made us vomit. It was awesome.

Friday we woke up late and didn't do shit except head into the city and chill in this field in the center of the city, it was beautiful. We met marlons friend and he told us about a reggaee club that has sand and shit. Sounded cool, so we headed that way. We decided to get some ''roadies'' (road beers). Of course we all got the hairest beer possible. A liter of 10% beer with a fucking viking on it. It got us drunk and made sneaking into the club a little more difficult, but we did it. We just chilled and smoked on the beach that was on the river. We chilled pretty hard and started talking to the young german kids next to us and burned a few with them. Shit got weird after that. They tried to get us to play a game in germany where one person says penis then you have to say it louder then person before you, we declined. Then the asian one who was super fucking high starts to draw a face with a dick as the nose and we began to be creeped out, then it was as if this creeper alert had been hit and some weirdo pops out the woods and puts the cherry on top this creeper pie and we split. The club was located next to the the eastside gallery which is an intact portion of the wall where artist are allowed to paint, it was so awesome! Then the viking starts to come out. We find a wheelbarrow, empty it, put marlon in it and walk about a half a mile. We decided to throw the wheelbarrow in the river and did it. Then we continued to walk and marlon destroyed a computer monitor with a giant rock, it was pretty cool. We were hungry so they went to mcdonalds but me and speyers refused to eat there. After kicking a soccer ball that we found around, we went inside to join them as they eat and there was some old dude asleep at a table with all the chairs around him ontop of the tables. The poor fella didn't even get to eat his cheeseburger so I ''liberated'' it from his table. After that we hoped on the train and made it to rudow safely and watched the sun peek over the horizon, at 4 in the morning!? It was strange becasue the sun doesn't fully set until 10pm. Now it's Saturday and planning on going to marlons brothers BBQ. I cant imagaine shit getting more hectic then yesterday.
