#berlin 2015

So my class gets to the airport and we wait for the others before going to  check in, give our luggage, get some last minute food and drinks and so forth. A lot of us knew each other from the German classes we were in together and maybe 5 students weren’t from the Jr. College most of us went to. Mostly we talk, wait for the plane, and take a few pics together. (a/n: I hate flying and I was scared the entire ride that we were going to die). The seats came with a pillow, blanket, tooth brush and an eye mask for when you sleep. Which I got none of. When we flew it was with the sun so it was always super sunny out and no one wanted to look outside because of how bright it was. We landed in Berlin at the Tegal airport at 7am and we were greeted by heat. They had heaters on (I FELT THEM. THEY WERE HOT), it was a hot day and we were kind of crowded. Not a good combination of things to happen but ok . I couldn’t use my cards to get money cause I didn’t know my PINs for them. All of us were tired and wanted to sleep but we had to drop off our things at the hostel, and go about our activities planned for that day. We visited memorials, and had a boat trip which a lot of us fell asleep on. I snore turns out. Before that it was lunch in which I learned that drinks don’t come with ice unless you ask for them specifically. We also went to get German phones (which a few of us didn’t do),  went back to the hostel to put our things in our rooms and get some dinner in us. The fraus paid for it which was awesome. There was 4 people to a room so all of us had to take turns to shower and freshen up because we were out all day in the sun and hadn’t washed in two days. There wasn’t any air conditioning either which sucked. 

The Second day (Sat) we were free to do whatever. sort of. We still went out, saw the school, saw some more sights, and talked to each other more. We were also taken to where we could get discounted food cause we were students but a few of us never went there. We were also shown around by a student. It was the champions league and the Fraus wanted us to go there to soak up the football related events so we did. Before that B23 invited us to go to the beach with her host sister who lives in Berlin. A few of us went, got back in time for the football event and a few of us said ‘fuck it’ cause football wasn’t our thing and we wanted to go to a bar. Turns out ‘bar’ in German is ‘kneipe’ and every German we asked didn’t know where one was it seemed. We asked like 4 IIRC. Finally we find one thanks to this pretty chick and her friends and it was super nice. I got dinner, we chilled for a while and went back to the hostel. People were cheering so loud because of the football tournament and people came back to the hostel  drunk and were talking super load outside our window.I was knocked out at this point so I didn’t hear it.
