Berlin party girl...

So happy girl right now, why you ask? Because I am off to one of my favourite city's in the whole world for the weekend... Berlin. This afternoon my friend Jacco and I will take off and hit the big city for a weekend of playtime and fun.
First on the agenda I think is getting to my friend's apartment where we will stay and rescue his keys from the flowerpot where he left them for us.. the wonderful person that he is, has left me his apartment while he is away on vacation..
After that who really knows, walking, shopping, eating and drinking and then later we will be at a typical German night club where one of my favorite DJ's is spinning in to the early hours.
I am just happy to spend some time in such a great city, it is just wild to walk down streeets and think of the history and to know that not that long ago people were stuck behind a wall that dictated their way of life. I know the re-unification is not the best thing to happen to Germany economically, and much of it was a political move by Helmut Kohl. But I can tell you that my friend whom I stay with there is happy it's gone. He grew up in the former East and was only allowed to be himself and work at what he enjoyed after 1989.
Details of the weekend to follow.
