Dem Germanyz

Pyllytippa (Buttdrop) hehehaheha

Deutschland surprised us with it's difficulty to hitchhike; we did get lifts for sure, but they were mostly just short distances to a closest village or so. Also the 2/4 rides of that day were from Turkish people :---D Come on, Germans!! First guys didn't speak much English, so they called to their friend who they used as a translator to communicate with us. That was pretty considerate! The next dude was German and had a nice, spacious van as you can see from below:

Unfortunately he left us to a really crappy place where we had to wait for about 1,5 hour to get the next really short ride to a gas station (PISS, FINALLY!!). Those men were Turkish again and they used Google Translate instead of human translator :-----D We also got bunch of Red Bull-cans from them, great success! While we ate some bread with our hitchhike-sign next to us, middle-aged dude came to offer us a ride to village near Hannover. It was already almost 6pm so we were really really thankful for the longest ride of the day. The local train to Hannover central costed 4,20e so that was the whole travel cost of the day. B---)

In Hannover we couchsurfed too and yet again the flat was so amazing. Ours hosts Annika and Simon really had made an effort for the interior to make the place look both cozy and stunning. Since Simon had a next day off, after eating some kick-ass salad and soup, we went to couple of bars and got accidentally wasted :---D The next day Santtu's flu had gotten a lot worse (might have been the Hannover-hangover too...), but luckily our hosts were so kind that they gave us lots of different flu medicine and painkillers. Cheers to that! We both agreed to find a carpool-ride instead of hitchhiking to Berlin. After strolling around at "the hip" part of the town (because we're so goddamn cool gals) we hurried to meet our driver.

This was one most interesting vending machines we saw in there :----D

Our driver from carpooling.co.uk was a really nice dude, 26 years old Turkish guy (AGAIN), an investment banker. He had a two weeks old BMW, ridiculously fancy super mega robot car :----D He's doing carpooling just to get company, not for the money (obviously). For us it would've been so boring to buy a cheap bus tickets to Berlin instead of actually meeting someone and having conversations about normal life, what they do and what we do. That's the beauty of hitchhiking too. So good for us, we got the "minister ride" for the same price. On Thursday we drove "only" 180km/h at Autobahn but this time 220km/h :-------D IT WAS NUTS! The driver said that he usually likes to drive 250km/h but on Friday there was a lot of traffic so max speed was "only" 220 8D Fastest carpool ride _ever_, top tier!

Dem hippies at the posh BMW, while driver buys McDonalds "shitbag" to go 8DD

So, we are in Berlin now, been here since Friday. We're staying at Jesse's flat (he's a friend of a friend), a Finnish guy who works here. It's a studio apartment but he said that "pari mirkkua mahtuu aina" (there's always room for couple of chicks) :-----D Jesse has been a great host, nurse and a tour guide showing us the city. On Friday we just ate the famous döner (so good) and had a couple of beers before hitting the hay. Then on Saturday after our own little brunch we ate some more (:---D) at really cool restaurant called White Trash (definitely go here if you have the chance!). Best fokken salad WITH BACON everrr! Later in the evening White Hills had a gig with The Loranes, so we went there, took couple of beers and then just went to bed. Crazy_party_Berlin666...

 Urban Spree, the gig venue

The biggest motherfucking Berliner EVER!!! (a mug for the scale)

On Sunday Santtu was feeling so bad that she stayed in bed watching Game of Thrones for the whole day, boohooo. Instead Aino went out with Jesse to walk around the neighborhood and visited abandoned airport area,  Templehof. It was pretty weird to see all those people to hang out and grill there, just a basic Sunday in an airport :D Cabin crew please be seated, too much ribs to be eaten fdkfjalfla ::::D Later they went to eat super good ramen-soup and on a way back they took take-away sushi for the flu patient.

Berlin has a lot to offer what comes to food, price/quality level in here is pretty great. This is a bit more expensive than the rest of Germany but you can still find cheap food that is not total crap. It's a big city so a week here is not enough, our trip has been just a scratch to the surface. Plus the fucking flu that stopped us partying our asses off at those famous techno-parties (still on the bucket list), visiting some interesting museums, drinking tons of cheap beer and just admiring Berlin and its citizens. We need to save those things for the next time, 'cause this is how we spent our late evenings (not that we have much to complain):

It might seem that we had really boring time here 'cause our bodies just failed on us, but the little we experienced, we fully enjoyed. Like on Monday we bought a day ticket and figured out how the public transportation here works. Bit more complicated than Helsinki metro, DUH. It was nice just to sit on a train and observe what people are doing in here. The normal life.

 AH AH OR UH AH SUN IS SETTING

Testing: 0,35e worth of cheapest Lidl beer, tastes like beer, would buy again 3/5

Tomorrow morning: London baby! WHOOP WHOOOP EHOOPP EHEH
