September 26, 2009 - After an epic train journey from Munich to Berlin that cost a mere $12 thanks to the Schones Wochenende (Happy Weekend) Pass, finally arrived at Grand Hostel Berlin, which truly was grand. The rooms were huuuge with high ceilings, and the staff was super nice. Only downside were the motion-sensor showers which took some getting used to.
After failing to find Cafe Am Neuen See, the beer garden recommended by my sister, we went to the area by Wachschauerstrasse that was full of bars and clubs to celebrate Yang’s birthday.
After many many 2 euro tequila shots at Matrix, ended the night with some döner kebabs, which is Germany’s main street food. It’s basically a Turkish gyro, but SO much better, in my opinion. I’m gonna have to find a place in New York that makes them cuz I have a feeling I will crave them some point soon.
