That's East Berlin for you. It was pretty cool though. We actually stumbled across East Side Gallery by accident the first night we were there, and we weren't actually sure if it was the Berlin Wall or not. It turned out to be right next to our hostel.
We went on a free walking tour while we were there, and it took us through most of the major monuments. But the tour, led by a pretty cool Australian dude, was definitely worth it. We got to hear some cool stories, like how someone escaped past the wall by getting a really really low car and just driving straight under the gate. We also visited the Holocaust Memorial and Museum, Brandenburg Gate, and a bunch of other cool places. And we tried to go to a club, but it wasn't exactly what we were expecting. Apparently in Berlin the clubs don't really start going until about 3am. But we had a street vendor by our hostel with 80 euro cent beers, so we still had a good time.
Berlin was probably one of my favorite trips so far. I should have written this blog post a week ago when I could have given more details, but it's just constantly busy here!
