Berlin Part 3 - Good food, good beer, and a few good laughs

You all know what's coming next.  As usual, don't scroll down if you might get offended and hold it against me :D

Having a drink by the water



The nice building across the water turned out to be...  the EY building!



Pig's knuckle again, of course!

 

So was it good?  Nothing left of the pig's knuckle except for the bones.  :D

Alcohol prices at this place fluctate based on their supply and what they've been selling to their patrons.  It refreshes every 5 minutes or so.  What an awesome gimmick.  Ended up chatting to a nice English couple while I was standing outside staring at this.  Guess the gimmick worked - we ended up going inside for a few rounds.  :)

Beer bike.  Wish we had this back home!  It's not drinking and driving as long as somebody sober is steering, right?

Exactly how I picture old-school German nobility to look.  If only he had a monacle...  What do you guys think?  Can I pull this look off?  hahaha

Darth Vader and a stormtrooper outside the Brandenburg Gate.  PERFECT!

The view from one of the last remaining stretches of the Berlin Wall.  Curry at the Wall.  Treblant Museum.  A big balloon that says DIE (which I think means "the" in German, but goddamn if that doesn't send the wrong message in English...)

Old Communist propaganda mural.  Everybody looks so happy!  How come things didn't work out???  lol

hahaha

Holy crap!  It's the scary mask from Batman Begins!  No...  actually, doctors wore this in the Middle Ages to prevent them from catching the bubonic plague when they were visiting patients (sort of a medieval Haz Mat mask).  It didn't work too well...  and scared the crap out of their patients too

This is what you see the in the hallway at my hostel.  I have no idea why, I don't think it's their mascot or anything...  Looks normal enough, but it's freaky as hell when you're wandering back to your room late at night when the lights are off!
