Last weekend Sina and me went to Berlin. She had the vacation planned for quite a while, asked me to come along and I said yes. I mean, why not, it’s not really that I’ve got anything better to do and Berlin is often a highlight. When I’m over I usually stay with friends but this time we booked a nice hostel, the most amazing hostel there is in Berlin. It’s cheap, modern, comfy and open all night - what more can you ask for?

I’ve never really stayed in a hostel before (if you don’t count that one drunken time when we crashed that room in Munich with 6 beds for 8 people) but I loved it and it again made me realise that – if I ever want to live together with people, which I do – need to quit some of my habits, like talking in my sleep or walking around the house half-naked.

The first night we went out and saw The Paddingtons *, kinda nostalgic for me considering I’ve seen them on pretty much every gig of their tour when I was about 16. They’re not a particularly good band and their music is not exactly brilliant, it’s more something to bawl along when you’re wasted.

The next day we went second hand shopping and spent the day in town. Lots of plans were made for the night but we eventually ended up at the BEAT!BEAT!BEAT! gig and then all took taxis to Bang Bang where the guys from The Cinematics were DJing downstairs. It was nice to see everyone again and we drowned all occuring drama in cider.

Now I’m back home, back to work, back to uni and I wonder what’s next. Amsterdam maybe. And I got invited to a birthday party in Paris next week (fucking Parissssss! I’ve never been there and I don’t speak a single word of French, but it’s gonna be fun!).

* They were supported by Johann van der Smut by the way, you should really check these guys out and buy their EP.
