so i've been going out on the weekends and it's been fun.
gin and tonics, beer, and friends. we have been speaking less german though, which is bad! i need to get back to speaking it more often. tonight i am going out w/ two American friends to a bar then to our friend's party.
i think we might have a visit from a certain green fairy as well tonight. let's see how that goes. also, i've been dying for some Thai Tom's! i haven't had any tofu here since i arrived...that needs to change! oi vey. i also need to go to the store and pick up some food/drinks to contribute tonight. it's going to be weird when i go back to the states, to not be able to buy a beer in the grocery store. it's funny, b/c i CAN buy it here, it's no big deal, so i don't go crazy like ppl do in the US.
so i saw Barack Obama give a speech in Berlin. it was amazing. we waited forever! several hours. there were lots of security and police, of course. the German police look very intense. more like military uniforms then police uniforms. when you got inside, they sold beer too, it was funny. and had music on the loudspeakers. i got interviewed by one of Obama's employees which was neat, but i doubt it will go into print anywhere, i'm NOT fluid w/ my words. haha. we were also EXTREMELY close. i have some pics on FB. i was also glad that he did NOT mention anything about "ich bin ein Berliner"!
