Germany

Arrive into Germany late at night from Amsterdam - Two trains and one plane missed. Its cold. Find Hostel. Off to the Pubs and a crazy hip hop show at a skatepark. Best band Ive seen in months from finland plays at a punkrawk venue in east berlin. We meet an austrailian girl that knows about an underground alternative tour of berlin. Be at the tv tower in front of starbucks at 11 am. I get up, walk across the city-

A dude in camoflauge tells us its going to be a crazy day. Five other travelers meet up. We hop on a train. We hit some murals across town. He leads us into a art commune with crazy art thugs sitting on the stairs, spray paint covering evern inch of the five stories. I peak into rooms where guys are painting with oil on gigantic canvases. We get on another train. Climb a dried up waterfall to look at the city in a perfect sunny view.

Another train. Now were at the berlin wall. The guide breaks away the fence into a restricted area. We walk along the berlin wall until we find fence pieces that can be used as ladders. We prop them up, and climb the berlin wall. As we sit on the top, we say hi to locals walking buy who look at us in confusion. He asks if we want to see the abandonded prison. I say Yes.

We hop a bus and get off at a shady area of berlin at dusk. We climb through a hole in the fence hidden by a bush. We find a hole in a borded up door. The first floor is colapsed, so we walk along the edge. graffiti everywhere. We walk up the flights uf stairs. Looks and smells like a homeless camp. Pitch black and using my keychain lighter, I arrive at a ladder in the fifth floor. I climb. Two other in our group say that this is out of their comfort level, and turn back. I climb. Im on the roof and watch the sunset with my new friends. All of our faces are dirty and look both scared and excited. We visit a few more grafiti walls. I head back to the hostel for another night of partying.

Wake up early, hop on a train to poland.
