It has been awhile since I've written anything but I have been pretty busy. On October 2nd, my International Business class departed from Copenhagen by bus to go to Berlin. We had to leave very early in the morning to catch our bus so I only had time to have a cookie before we got on the bus. This hit the spot and after what seemed like a long time we arrived at the ferry. Our bus drove on to the boat and we had to get off. We all got lunch and decided to start imbibing. We made some mixies dixies and started our day off right. Finally we arrived in Germany and had to continue to drive until we reached Berlin.
In Berlin, the first thing we had on the agenda was to go on the "Fat Tire Bike Tour'" which was a cool way to see the city. Our tour guide drove us around to different landmarks all over Berlin. We saw the Berlin wall, Checkpoint charlie, the hotel that Michael Jackson dangled his baby out the window, the Reichstag, etc. One thing I learned about Berlin is that it smells like shit. They have sewage lines that run above the ground and there sewers are open to the air. It is absolutley rank. After the bike ride, we went back to the hotel and grabed a six pack each and started pregaming. Then we went to dinner at some italian place. It was really good and the beer there was very cheap compared to Copenhagen.
After dinner, we decided it would be a good time to find some bars or clubs to hang out at. Since it was a Sunday night the city was a little dead. We ended up going to a convenience store and getting a 1/5 of vodka and a two liter coke for the six of us. We took turns taking pulls and approximately five minutes later there was no vodka left. Perfect start to the night.
The group then started to walk to find a bar. There was suppose to be some huge rave outside in some park but as we walked we started doubting this information more and more. Finally we walked past a bar that was open and right before we walked in we realized it was a gay bar. Not really our scene haha. We kept walking and some turkish dude starts yelling at us saying we looked at his girlfriend. He proceeds to throw a lighter at us. Ofcourse, I decide to chuck it back at him and he then he hit me in the face with it. After we left that street we were like what the hell no one looked at that girl. Then one kid Brett from Georgetown, says "well actually I was kinda staring at her". Great.
So after that we decided to go back to the same convenience store and get another 1/5 and some more beers. Keep in mind this is only 25 minutes after the first one. We do the same thing as before and the 1/5 is gone really fast. My recollection of the night ends there. But piecing together the rest of the night was not to hard.
On our way back into the hotel Kevin from Loyola, was attempting to light a cig and tripped and hit his chin on scaffolding on the side of the building. You could see the bone in his chin. Our other friend Carter luckily knew enough German to get him to the hospital where he remained with him all night.
This is the 3rd hospital trip of the two study tours. Ironically enough, all of the kids who have been to the hospital go to school in the Baltimore area. 2 from Loyola, 1 from Goucher. Weirddd.
The next morning was the art tour. I didnt go to it. They wouldn't let me. Oh well, I lucked out because I didn't have to walk around at 8 am for 5 hours.
To be continued.
