additionally...

other than that things have been good.
i was up to my ole getting lost ways today when i went to pick up my packet in SCHÖNEBERG.
lemme just tell you, schöneberg is a good 45 minute train ride away from where I live. here i waited in a line, got a number, waited in a waiting room and got stared at by really old people, got my number called, waited in line, got asked questions about the contents of my packet, what type of medicine it was, 'what's wrong' with me, and recieved my package!
word of the wise, DON'T insure mail sent to germany unless you really have to. it's a hassle and they usually have you open the packet and ask you tons of questions about your mail.
gotta love the bureacracy of it all! :)

from here i got on the wrong train that brought me to a really south east corner of berlin.
this was due to me getting off at some random stop after seeing the REAL store.

i heard this store was something like the german target.

it was more like a pic n' save + K. Mart with a grocery store attatched.

i bought a bike basket, some face paint and cozy slipper socks.

on the way back i unwisely jumped on the first train that came through not realizing that it didn't go to Ostkreuz but rather the south south south, very east corner of berlin.

this was ok because i got to see some new sights and there ended up being  a train through here goes directly back to Tiergarten...after about an hour train ride.

then i had yoga.

but in other news, i'm going to schloss charlottenburg this weekend and dublin in november!

it's also halloween weekend so i can see how the germans get down with an americanized holiday.

and here are some photos to hold you over! :)
