Hello hello!
Yeah! I'm finally back from Germany.
I spent 4 nights in Hamburg and 3 in Berlin.
Hamburg was a nice looking city but it had a slightly odd street layout and there where amazingly few general stores and honest food restaurants. Reperbahn is over rated... Although some of the polish strippers were quite nice. What annoyed me most was the "lets fool these suckas and get their money" attitude. Ofcourse I didn't play along with any of their schemes: "u wanna buy me a drink?" "no! we are cheap bastards!". U can make money with that shit(sex/strip) even if u ain't fooling anyone! And what was that show that the bartender did with 1 of the ho's? If I would want to see that shit I would go some place else... In a striptease joint all u want to see is ass and titties! Not some fool playing around.
Hamburg had lots of nice parks and all that but it seemed like a slightly dull place.
Berlin
To be able to get a whole picture of the city we should have probably stayed longer there. It was gray and there wasn't even a big distinction between the "east" and "west" sides of the city... allmost all of the old buildings were destroyed when city was bombed down in the 40's... atleast it seemed that way. I visited Hard Wax, a very good record store in a very ghetto area. I would have wanted to check out some clubs but I really didn't have enough money or time for that. All of the so called tourist attractions were very boring... they looked way better in movies.
By the way they don't have cider in Hamburg or Berlin but they have these strange drinks like: alster wasser which is basically beer and lemonade and they serve spezi(fanta + cola) in the restaurants and u can buy it in a bottle too.
I bought some games, 6 x 12"'s(1 dynamix II), a hoodie and a really good book about street art: the art of rebellion.
We bought a digital camera. I took some photos and I'm gonna put them on my pages so remember to check my front page regularly.
Yeah tomorrow is Aleksi's pool party!
for now
Im out
Ill Janne
PS: check Imaran Voima "The church of latter day maggots" the song "commando" is especially good!
