I went out last night, as you might come to expect, because apparently in Dresden the good nights are Friday, Saturday and Monday. I had wanted another night off, but the nice hostel lady has informed me that Mondays are the new black.  It would be rude not to go out. So I’m sitting in a popular …

I’m eating breakfast for the first time and staring into space at 8am in the morning.  This is the earliest I’ve been up for months, and in spite of being woken by two Israeli guys coming in at stupid o’clock, I feel pretty good.  The bags are packed, I’m ready to go, just not on …

I’m kicking about the hostel today with the express intention of not drinking tonight and not letting myself go out.  Instead I watch a multitude of childish idiots get on the sauce.  This must be what I look like when I’m on a bender, but most of these kids are hammered after a couple of …

I’ve called time on my Friday night early to save myself for tonight.  Berghain.  Probably the biggest club in the world, and certainly one of the most famous.  It’s a unusual mix of straight and hard core gay, with some of the worlds best DJ’s spinning here week in week out to stunning women and …

After taking it easy or going out last night (I can’t remember) we decide to leisurely wander to find a cinema and finally get to see The Dark Knight Rises.  It’s not been released in Germany until today, so I’ve been doing my best to avoid any spoilers floating around on the internet.  Its glorious German …

Let’s see, what did I do today?  Mmmm.  I’m doing my best to remember.  I’m sure it must have involved going out at some point but I’m not really sure.  I guess I should make a comment about this child filled hostel. It’s filled with children .

I’ve checked out today in search of pastures new, but not talking to anyone in a hostel for five days has taken it out of me.  I contemplate starting the hitchhike, but I feel I’m not really done with Berlin and it certainly isn’t done with me.  I search for and locate one of the biggest party …

I feed my pain with more Curry-wurst and sit around the hostel lobby with no agenda and no mates.  At around midnight the attendant tells me they’re closing and you can’t sit in the place from half twelve until seven am.  This is nonsense, as only the other day I was still tapping on the …

I was so wrapped up in my Berlin euphoria and new found sense of life that I forgot to mention I went out last night and sought out an open mike night.  Here I found just the sort of people I’ve been talking about playing music and partying hard until the last person leaves the bar.  Even …

In spite of the sun shining and a new direction having presented itself, I can’t help but feel upset this morning.  I’ve managed to get up reasonably early by my standards, and packing the new camera I make my way into the city.  I don’t quite know what’s eating me, but I feel like I’m …
