Berlin: Tidbits....

Omg I can't believe i forgot these gems! When me and mum were on the tour bus passing the embassy arena (litteraly one for every country all on one strip, so beautiful though) when we passed an epic park the tour guide showed us a local phenomenon, the local park of nudists, i know, nudists! Dw we look pics xD we're awful :p but hey rebellion against the comunists hasn't looked cooler :p

Also yesterday a helicopter had to emergancy land infront of my hostel! It wasnt even a field, it was just some grass next to a road, some tricky manuvering that was xD

And last but not least, i was sitting down outside the hostel (on the floor, i know its dirty nan but I'm traveling) when a man walking his adorable chiwauwa went by, the dog sniffed me, then climbed on me, licked my face and laid down on my lap xD the owner remarked on our quick friendship and it took some time to sweet talk the dog away xD it totally made my day! Anyway, ciao for now x

Berlin: MUM! (buses and roundabouts)

Ok so i super missed my mum, i was so excited i arrived an hour early and made her a sign :p we got lost on the way back because i thought she'd booked at a different hostel xD motel one not ku'damm 101, oops, but we got there, were staying in the centre next to the zoo. The place was super nice (no kettle though - however i found out hot water was free, ii also asked for milk, and a spoon, and carried it in the lift, so cheeky) and was busy because that weekend was a football match xD bad timing that.

We took a tour bus and had a really strange tourguide that kept singing anthems, so creepy xD so we popped off to see the Brandenburg gate (full of football fans xD) and we tried dunken doughnuts for the first time. Omg it was super sweet! Even the cream :p wouldnt recommend it for breakfast, and then we had a brilliant tour guide who had lots of tips (like how to see in the museum for free) and even how to see an orchestra for free which im gonna do next week :) we then went to checkpoint charlie which was really facinating! (Orange juice was consumed) then had all you can eat Thai/Vietnamese xD so delicious. Also i totally beat mum at cards today :p

Oh third day we went to the hackner markt which was full of artsy designs like a vinyl handbag :) more orange juice! And currywurst and pizza xD then we went to the DDR museum which was on the river underground, it was an interactive museum to understand life on the east side of the wall. Mum beat me at cards today xD by 16... shes cheating i think :p also guess what, today we booked tickets to go to Thailand! I can't believe im going to thailand, omg! Im going backpacking from bangkok to Vietnam to Singapore xD i got my first hostel booked (its £3 a night! In the city! Wow. Better research some Thai then xD

Oh the next day me and mum played cards on a round about, and had pizza and cocktails xD i didnt want the next day to come.

So the day mum was going home :( we played cards, mum thrashed me xD shes just too good. Said our goodbyes. I felt miserable after xD i think i was spoiled, may have cried a bit, butbi had a dream i went home last night realised im not ready to come home but I'll super miss my mum :( but it was awesome having her in Berlin, super awesome! I hope the kitchen and bathroom get done soon xD and went im back ill cook white chocolate and rassberry cheese cake :) and christmas dinner! It'll be beautiful.

To Mum: I love you and miss you and your shocking moments and patience and the way you help me put on my bag xD

To Darren: Have fun on the balloon ride, look after mum and your self! Also, cat? XD

To Christopher: skype me you lazy sod xD

To Naomi: be patient and happy :) I'll see you at Christmas and hopefully skype xD say hi to hannah if you see her

To Ceri: come over mums so we can skype too xD congratulations and send me loads of pictures of you in your cap and gown :)

To Nan: I love you! You don't have to worry :) i got those tubes down! Can't wait to next speak to you on skype, i miss your poached eggs on toast xD also stop teaching mum your tricks with cards!

To Grampy: Be good for Nan! And don't look at the internet too deeply! Its full of horrors xD totally try and convince Darren to get a cat xD

So yeah, ciao for now x

Berlin: So far (omg!)

Ok so I've kept mum about it xD so punny :p you know how i recieved amazing news but didnt want to jinx it? Well, keep that in mind :p

Arrived in Berlin which is beautiful and full of Vietnamese and Thai food (that was my main go to food in Leipzig - super authentic too) I met these two amazing girls from Australia who stuffed my full of indian doughnuts and candied grapes xD jack the ripper, eat your heart out xD

We went to a turkish market where every other person was sporting dreadlocks :p there was even a guitar performance next to an Egyptian tea stand xD oh and freshly squeezed orange juice is a thing here, there is some weird victorian style presses that are the most popular. Then we popped to checkpoint charlie which was a section of the wall that was eventually commandeered by the Americans but I didn't read it because i was saving it xD that night we went to a pub and we all had to pay a euro extra to thr dj! Apparently thats common in germany so be carefull when you're copper watching. Also a guy lost a pair of blue shoes, it was a strange hostel :) but the best part was the next day because i went to the airport. Because my mum was coming to Berlin! Thats right xD we both may have blubbered on each other xD we're such saps :) Next ill tell you of our adventure so ciao for now!

Leipzig: Overall (Due to business on my part)

Hey! I've decided to change my style so I'll now be posting in overall chunks with a few events instead of everyday xD hope you like it :) Ok so Leipzig was nothing like I expected. For one, it was jam packed full of goths, from victorian to cyper, i was in awe, and felt very underdressed xD i found out there is a concert especially for the darker style music held every year and the city is filled with nail varnish fumes.

I even made friends with two hard-core guys (one wore a pvc latex skirt -seriously why dont men wear skirts? They look epic) and they looked after me.an  took me clubbing three nights in a row xD they even went to a dance kind of club with me so i could dance :) it was lovely xD

Oh i met a japan- fan from greece and so much sushi was consumed :) i will never eat sushi again, well maybe onigiri but thats it! Oh an  i met this amazing girl from mexico who taught me this super awesome recipe for salsa that melts your face off and we made pork wraps, halumi, basically a delisous mezza :)

We also met this lovely couple from brazil whol helped teach me italian whilst drunk xD luminous green beer! Oh my god and my filling came out! My super painful, originally snapped open by a drill gone wild and filled with metal one. On the same day i visited the university dentist, they gave me a number, i walked there and at 21:30 after waiting maybe 10 minutes i was having my tooth filled (will last two years) for free! God i love germany! Anyway ciao for now x

Dresden: The rest (might repeat myself xD)

Hey, sorry for getting a little lax with updates but after my horrid bout of food poisening i was gifted with the flu xD so a few days of recuperation and i was good to go. I made some amazing friends and went to flower power and it was spectacular! It was basically a jam.session for random musicians :) there was guitar and bass but then this women went up with the flute and it added and whole other dimention :) i made a video so you can expect to see it soon :)

I finally got to drink in the park xD it felt like high school (free xD) and i helped hand make perogi! Ika made a lady peogi that was horrifying xD no idea who ended up eating that. It was super delicious, one was potato and garlic and the other was spinach and ricota.

Oh and i went to the body exhibition! It was grotesque and facinating :) they had wax models of humans and their body parts through multiple stages of stds and its effect on skulls, legs, babies! Apparently it used to be used to teach medical students but was also used to entertain and educate the masses in circuses. So definetly give the hygiene museum a go xD ok so then i went off to leipzip but i will toally miss the red antler hands, attic like nooks and amazing staff who made me feel super welcome! Thank you and ciao for now x
