Mein Wochenende
Monday, November 10th, 2008Since I spent soo much freaking money in Copenhagen, I thought I’d take it easy during the week. It was pretty uneventful until Friday (just school and sleep). Friday after the test (got an A), Keri and I decided to go to Brasil for some coffee. We talked for a while before Alex joined us and we headed to Hemingway’s Bar/Café for an all you can eat buffet. It was pretty good for less than 6 Euros. I tried going in there before with Theresa, and we both came to the conclusion that we were underdressed and left. Keri had been there before and told me that we were crazy. Then I got even better news…. They do Mexican food. Definitely have to go back for that. Maybe bring the laptop with an old Cowboys game to watch and get some beef nachos. Yum.
Later on I headed back to Keri’s place for a little movie marathon; however, it ended up being us talking about movies and being unable to decide on one to watch. Then we decided that we needed snacks, so we headed for a gas station, since everything else is closed. Unfortunately, the gas station I thought of was closed for some special reason, and the one she choose, wasn’t really a gas station. After like 3 hours of talking and wandering around Luneburg in the middle of the night, we ended up ordering Joey’s pizza and watching Shaun of the Dead.
I decided Saturday to go to Berlin instead of Weimar. Wasn’t up for a 7 hour roundtrip train ride, plus I can’t come to Europe without getting to Berlin. I love it. This was my 4th trip to Berlin. I ended up walking down Unter Den Linden and came upon a demonstration at the Brandenburg Tor. Apparently it was a demonstration against some measures that Schroeder made when he was Chancellor. It seemed pro-communist or something. After checking that out, I headed towards Museum Island and checked out some market that was setup outside of Humbolt University and bought come East German pins and medals. After that I headed to Rosenthaler Platz to get a doner from my favorite doner place. Awesome as always. I headed back to Luneburg and back to Keri’s place again for another movie. This time was Cecil B. Demented. I’m not usually a fan of John Waters, or any of the stars (Stephen Dorff, Alicia Witt, Melanie Griffin, and Maggie Gyllenhaal), but this one was pretty good. You should watch it.
Sunday was another relaxing day. Slept in until almost noon, then hung out at the coffee shop with Keri again until 5pm. We ended up seeing the same English guy that we saw last weekend. We ended up talking about all types of stuff. I got more info about his TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) program. I’m thinking I might do it. I always thought you didn’t make much money, but apparently you do. One more thing to work on….
Um, that is all. I’ll post more pics later. I’m almost out of internet usage, and the computers at the internet café that I use are being a pain in the ass. I’ll try uploading pics tomorrow on the school computers and linking them here.
