A bit o' banter with the Irish and the Ausies

Now, I have to talk about the bar scene... The Friday I was there I ended up going to the pub downstairs from our hostel. There, we met a ton of young people. We talked about the differences in culture between all our different countries (by discussing the ins and outs of finding a girlfriend...) and drank rather heavily... The bar was showing on a big screen a mix of Tarzan/caveman/pornography that was rather disturbing but as the night progressed it became increasingly funny. Later, we set out to go to the bars with some Ausie girls only to get lost in Alexanderplatz and end up eating McDonalds...

For the rest of the day Joe and I ended up hanging out with the Irish girls and having an incredible time. We public transported all around the city and saw all kinds of cool things. First, we took a tour of an old German bunker that was used during the world war too. The most fun part was that the whole thing was in German... For the rest of the day we walked around trying to see everything we could in this huge city of Berlin. The Irish people were hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing when I had one of them say "Luck o' the Irish." We also learned some other Irish words like posh and banter... They were really some crazy people those Irish. We found a nice little restaurant in Eastern Berlin where we ate some vegetarian pizza-type stuff that was surprisingly delicious. Then, we walked along the wall and saw all the graffiti on it about freedom and oppression. I think the graffiti is the most interesting part about the Berlin wall because you can really see how the people in Berlin were feeling after it was torn down by the drawings that they made. Finally, we went back to the hostel because Joe and I had work in the morning and said goodbye to our new friends. But before we did that we decided we would plan a trip to come visit them for St. Patrick's Day. If that happens, I'm pretty sure it will be the most amazing trip in the whole world. Hopefully, we can get it all set up and make it work out. I'd really like to see those Irish again...
