Once we got to Germany, it started snowing on our train ride into Berlin. I was definitely surprised and really happy, actually. It was like our first real snow fall that was sticking to the ground - just like at home. Soon I realized that I hadn't brought the right shoes for snow, but I made it through anyways!
I have shown you a few pictures of hostels that I have stayed in before, but this was THE hostel. Called the Generator, it could have over 900 guests at any point in time. The round area coming out of it is its own really large bar and there was also a cafeteria and game area.Once we left our luggage at the hostel, we went into the city centre. We walked around a little bit and found a nice restaurant to have lunch in. We then looked at a few shops and an interesting area that wove in and out but had shops around it as well.
Here is a little garden area within those shops and the Berliner Fernsehturm in the background.
We also visited the Silent Heroes Memorial Center in the city center. It was all about the people who helped those targeted in the Holocaust.That night we had just planned on chilling in the hostel, meeting people until a few came up to us and asked us to go on the Berlin Pub Crawl! Since we didn't have any plans, we decided why not? and ended up having a very cold, but fun time!
Free shots at the metro station! Emily, Heather, me and Amy.
This was the entrance to one of the bars we went into on the pub crawl. It was definitely interesting inside: very crowded, with odd tables that people sat on and these graffiti-ed colored glass windows everywhere.And last, but not least, there was a Bachelor party on the pub crawl, too! Can you guess which one is the bachelor?
He was forced to wear a carrot costume the entire night because his hair is red, otherwise known as a "carrot top." These German boys were very funny to hang out with and to sing American music with!More sightseeing pictures up next!
