This past weekend I went to Berlin with Ben. It was a quasi-celebration for my film being shot! I just saw the footage today, it will be fun to edit. Thank god the telecine colorist corrected the color and temperature of the film to be continuous. DAMN YOU WEATHER! So we left Friday night at midnight and got into Berlin at 4:30 in the morning. Lovely right? We hung out at the bus station until almost sunrise. Chatted with an Australian gal who has been traveling around Europe. Then Ben and I proceeded to find a bagel place for breakfast and failed. It was in the mall. Who knew? We didn’t. Instead we went to this cafe and had amazing eggs with potatoes and bacon. After, we went to the Film Haus aka the German Film Museum. It was one of the coolest designed museums. I learned that older studios had glass roofs to utilize natural sunlight since the film stock back in the day was very slow.

After, we walked around Alexanderplatz and found the hostel and napped. The hostel was amazing and comfortable. Good find. Then dinner and a failed attempt to go the Tarantino’s Bar. It was closed for a private party. Lame sauce. Plus the people in there were kind of douches. We found a chill/quaint bar and had donner sandwiches after that before bed.

Sunday, we went to the berlin wall, aka East Side Gallery. It’s the remainder of the berlin wall that is now an art exhibit. Again, after a failed bagel attempt (closed on sundays). So we settled an hour later on Indian. Then we went to a museum for an hour. We wasted too much time and needed to waste more until our bus. So we saw Inglourious Basterds at a German cinema. It had the original soundtrack and subtitles. Great way to end the trip. Made it back to Prague by 6am, and slept till noon.
