Ohh Berlin. This was the highlight and probably my favorite city in Europe so far. I met up with Jimin and Mahea in Berlin and as soon as we arrived at our hostel, EastSeven Hostel, which I highly recommend, we found out that we had been upgraded from the 10-people dorm to the 3-people private room! I've stayed at four different hostels throughout my time in Europe and EastSeven is by far my favorite. The staff are so friendly and all the people that we met at the hostel were amazing. The atmosphere was perfect for bonding and the hostel was very clean and tidy.
Mahea had flown into Berlin a couple hours before Jimin and I arrived and had already made new friends with these two girls, Tori from Australia and her Dutch friend Marla. We talked with the guys from Switzerland who were flying out the next day and managed to convince one of them to go out clubbing with us! Marla took us to an area filled with clubs and we randomly chose to walk into Cassiopeia. Let me just say that Europeans sure know how to party. Nothing starts until 1am and the party can go on into daylight. We drank German beer (amazing!), danced, created a dance circle with other people in the club, pulled other people into our dance circle, and had a blast. Afterwards, we went to the Reggae section of the club...a lot of groping (no bueno) but great music. LOVE BERLIN!

We didn't go to sleep until 5am but we somehow were up and about by 9am! That's the European lifestyle for ya! We went on this alternative tour of Berlin done by a very alternative guy who lives with his alternative girlfriend in their alternative house with their alternative pets. Very alternative. It wasn't the best tour but we saw some of the sickest graffiti in the world, including Finbarr <3. Deciding to go to Berlin on a whim was the best decision I ever made. So much street art!

After the tour, we grabbed some noms at YAAM where we ate the most delicious Jamaican food c: We walked the East Side Gallery (Berlin Wall), went back to our hostel, drank the best apple liquor, enjoyed German sausages, made friends with the hostel people, smoked a cigarette for the first time, took a puff or two of a joint from Amsterdam, learned how to dance from the Brazilians at our hostel, made a bunch of plans to go out and do hookah and go to another club, but in the end, all three of us ended up crashing out on our beds. It wasn't the most exciting thing to do but it was all worth it in the end.
