Also, you might notice that the site has changed and you are now reading this on Blogger.com. This change is due to issues with connecting to my WIT web space and therefore I can not upload my blog and pictures. So I have made the step over to Blogger, which runs much more smooth.
Back to Berlin. I went grocery shopping yesterday morning and that was an experience. I went to this small store, which was hidden and nothing like what we would think of as a grocery store. It was more like a dollar store theme then a grocery store. Anyway, I brought my own recycling bags and almost loaded up both of them with spaghetti, oranges, apple and orange juice, milk, cereal, and a bunch more, all for 10 euros! But I get to the check out, there is only 1, and she rings up my items and slides them past the scanner to this tiny little bagging area, which is where I am suppose to gather my money, give it to her, receive my change, all while bagging my own items that she has just rung up. Then as I was finishing up bagging, she was throwing items of the person behind me into my mix, but luckily I knew the person behind me, so it was ok. It was all crazy.
Today I am doing some shopping on a street that is said to be filled with stores. I have a few things I need to get, and a few groceries that I forgot to get yesterday. A bike is in order for me also, as long as I can get one for under 30 euros. I'm obviously looking for a used one, but bikes are really cheap over here because they are not as fancy as the 21 speeds in the States, it is basically a classic bike with one speed... sometimes you can get one with multi-speeds.
Anyway, it's time to get on the road, still have nearly a full day ahead! Enjoy your day in the States, hopefully the weather is a nice as it is here!
PS. Pics coming soon... I've been kind of lazy with the pics lately... trying to catch up and get some relaxation
