Berlin Pub Crawl

Mark's friend Harsha was able to meet us up in Berlin. The first thing he said when he arrived at our hostel was "Can I have an extra pillow. With a new friend in town, it was time to celebrate. We went on several pub crawls in Berlin and we were able to get a pretty good feel for the nightlife of Berlin. We went with some people from our hostel, Alyson and Katherine. We arrived late at the all you can drink power hour. At the first pub crawl we randomly ran into Jimmy, an Aussie that we met back in Amsterdam. What a small world. We met him on the Red Light District walking tour and we hung out afterwards for a few drinks. He will be going to Prague as well so who knows maybe we'll run into him again.

One of the nights we walked through Berlin's red light district and two of the prostitutes started hitting on these two Swedish girls in our group. It was pretty funny to hear German hookers speaking broken English to the two Swedish girls replying in their second language.

Another interesting thing about Germany is that you can drink in the streets. So most of the time when you haven't finished your drink and its time to go you don't have to chug you beer. Instead every pub will provide a plastic cup for you to take your beer to go. The interesting thing is that you always see huge groups of people walking down the street doing pub crawls.
