Shipping off to Berlin

One of the interesting things about being abroad is that people you know from back home introduce you other ex-Pats to hang out with.  And this is how I came to be spending my weekend in Berlin with a few Americans I barely know.

I'll be taking off tomorrow morning and heading back Monday.

People are very hot on Berlin right now.  Someone told me its one of the 3 B's, along with Barcelona and Brazil.

I have no idea what to expect, so here's a stream of consciousness list of what I anticipate of Berlin.

• Lots of people trying to sell me bits of broken brick that were part of some wall Coca Cola created via CGI and then destroyed in the late 80s as an act of capitalist propaganda
• Blonde hair
• Skinny jeans...skinnier even than the British
• Great cars
• Subtle superiority
• Beer
• Blue eyes

We'll also be going to a soccer game where I assume I'll make a comment about all the grown men wearing scarves on an 80 degree day that will get me punched in the face.

Till then...
