Berlin - being abroad in Germany. The Rebel.





The spontaneous decision in the beginning of July took us now, end of November to the capital of Germany. To see the Christmas Markets (which were not opened), drink mulled wine (which was not sold on the yet closed markets), learn about the history (the less superficial half of the couple) and shop (the less sophisticated half of the couple).

Unexpectedly it turned out that the city has reorganised the train lines and so we made it to our hotel through Alexanderplatz. Since we managed to buy the tickets in the last minute before running to the platform, we didn't think of validating them and took the ride as courtesy of Berlin public transportation. Being financially and environmentally conscious, we saved the tickets to use them on Sunday on the way back to the airport.

We had some Nepali and Tibetan food in our 'hood and walked to the center to take a look at the closed stores and the TV Tower. Turned out that Berlin is a country of its own and doesn't think much of the laws of the welfare state that makes the employers to send their employees home at 8pm sharp. Different stores were opened until 9 or 10pm even.
