It all started with my new found favourite.. fresh button mushrooms cooked and served with creamy garlic sauce.. its really been a while tat my tongue got such a sensation from mushyrooms..

And then they really really did try to portray a serious face beside a stretch of remaining Berlin wall.

And then night fall and they pose in front of an awesome gate, taking more than 20 shots but only a couple being deemed decent enough to be seen.

No bloody windy weather can stop cam whores from well, cam whoring.. from the out dark cold to the in bright warm..

Some of them even took it 1 step further, despite the cold they still know how to find acts to warm themselves up and prepare for the mating night session.

And then they wake up all fresh and refreshed and continue posing..

And then the worst moments came all but too soon.. i screwed up snapping the 1st departure due to batterylessness, yet it was the 2nd departure tat made me really really down, as the companionship of great buddies is officially over, again..

As the train was slowly drifting away.. I did try to chase it up a little bit, as it might be another round of long years before seeing their cute little ass again..

Take back the city for yourself tonight.

Not this time, sometimes knowing it is sufficient, even more so that the reality that comes along it is pretty terrifying and saddening, so very much more so when u step foot and actual lay eyes on 1 of the location where prisoners were placed during the Nazi days.

The weather in Berlin was nice for once, and ppl were smiling. Well.. before they step foot into where they were bout to step into and see wat they were bout to lay eyes on.

By name this concentration camp is called Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Before that i just have to share this, that tour was recommended upon the Berlin Free Tour which i extremely heavily suggest anyone to join. It gave great overview and intro to the city. Also to mention tat the guide was pretty cute and he really really does know stuffs around Berlin and presents it so well, cheers to Colin, oh and tat sweet Scottish accent he possesses.

Anyway let’s not get carried away. A concentration camp differs from an extermination camp, where the primary “given” purpose is to accommodate those that do not have combative threat to the ruler.. as it turned out, some concentration camps do more than accommodate these ppl, they actually die due to hunger, exhaustion, poor living condition etc.. Concentration in this context, IS Extermination. nah, won’t bore the text here with these, u know if u are interested and u know where to dig it..

We were actually walking on the same path all the prisoners entering the camp took those days. And upon arriving the main gate, we were welcomed by a slogan that translates to:

Work will set you free

Not so the case, as almost all tat went in, worked their asses off yet, did not get rewarded with the “free” mentioned on the gate.

Mary was our guide for the day, and her style was very suited to the tour. Portraying a more serious character as compared to Colin, she was very well fitted to guide us with ample loads of information sharing on the camp.

I will pick my words with real thoughts as i really feel a lot throughout my time there, even now when i think back on it, it’s the cruel reality and nothing much to be kidding about.

These are the barracks that the prisoners were staying in, the capacity was overloaded by fitting in 400 of them in a supposed ~130, and to accommodate this, these miniature beds, which is approximately 70% of our current single size bed, needs to sleep 3 person. Take a second to imagine that.

This will be the bathing area for the prisoners, yes tat’s right, these 2 tubs accommodates all in a single barrack of 400 ppl. It only sprinkles some water from the middle and with limited time every morning, one just know tat no matter how congested it is, u ought to clean up a lil’ as it is the only moment in the whole day one was allowed to. It’s a matter of survival as if one’s condition ain’t too hygienic, disease and sickness will just crawl up upon.

Initially, i hesitated putting this picture up, but i believe tat.. every1 shud know the conditions of those living here regardless of whether it is disgusting or not.

And again, it’s the same influx of ppl from the barrack that has to cherish the moment to use it every morning. Now of course we feel weird and pissed when some1 shares a toilet bowl with us at a same time, but there.. there just ain’t much option.

There were loads more regarding the camp. At times, i felt pretty terrible and gloomy knowing wat had terribly happened. The tour is 12 Euros and i felt really worth doing it, it took slightly more than 5 hours throughout, though not the most cheerful trip, it was truly 1 that no one visiting Berlin should miss. For what it’s worth, this was reality and for what tat happened, every1 should know about it and start loving every1 around u much more..

It’s my 10th day in the city, the feeling of being more part of the city is growing by each second. And i’ve came across several Berlin Bears to claim tat, being a berliner has it’s share of fun. Just tat, most of the weekdays up till now has been pretty much stucked in this little corner room at the basement of the ‘mansion’..

Oh yes, i have my own little room being an intern. It’s located at the quiet corner at the basement of this sweet 2 stories mansion-cum-office. Either i am deemed to be isolated or being granted good privacy for any office scandals, i take it as a good thing. Though i gotta admit tat i was left out and forgotten for lunch together for once. A pretty opposite from the days in weso where those days, the most common issue was tat nobody wants to move for lunch till 230pm.

Anyhow, i seriously have no complains in regards to my spot. How could i be?! With a huge yawn and a turn to the left and i see such beauty babe~! C’mon i’m not being flirtatious here, it’s the beauty of nature.. any shouts for swapping office place??

Lodging wise, apart from the overrunning of my initial budget, i have not much complain. My room is almost twice bigger than the owner’s. I can sleep at least 10 buddies in here!

Not so IKEA-like and does give me the drag to always wanting to come back.. Hilli, is a nice lady and pls no kinkiness thinking.. speaking bout her, she’s 1 of the more fanatic ecological consumer i’ve came across.. i have yet to come across any un-ecological/biological product that she is using. She also has this super healthy diet in the morning, blending mixtures of vege/salad/fruits into a huge junk and consuming it. She shared some with me and i gotta say, i could be brainwashed to be like her..

Though 1 thing is a visit to the toilet is always eye-pleasing. To be more exact, while one is doing the big business and directly in front u see something like this..

Bright & Shine with the shooting nozzle pointing straight at the naked mermaid’s cleavage. This has to be art at it’s best nature! Though i swear tat this has not distracted me while i’m doing my thing in the toilet.

Oh and pls allow me to share my new baby.. her name is oooooooooooo GoldieWalk~

it was love at 1st sight and i got her on a real good deal, and since i’ve only brought my winter boots and black formal shoes to berlin, GoldieWalk will be accompanying me in as many berlin endeavor as possible.. she is pure german and u can tell by her nice silky blondie body~

And so the country code has changed. The same feeling i felt when i left from KLIA to Stockholm one year ago, came back hunting me again.. once more.. an aura of alienization surrounds me..

This time, flying from the secluded Skavsta airport, 80 minutes from Stockholm’s central station, on a flight tat I consider “a steal”. The fare was SEK 0.01, yup, RM 0.005, and there is no airport tax.. only paid for a luggage check in which was still not too bad at all.. just gotta bare the extra longer journey compared to Arlanda..

After hearing so damn much on Ryan air, here it goes.. well anyway they are boasting on a highest on time rate on all airlines, a whooping 90%, and they confidently market themselves on it, comparing with other national couriers and competitors, pretty impressive~ and wat’s more.. my scheduled flight of 1 hour 40 mins from Stockholm to Berlin, took only 55 minutes! The flight announcer was having her orgasm when she announced the flight touched down 45 mins ahead of schedule.

Being budget as it’s nature, the interior of Ryan Air did look budgetly cheap. It’s like taxi colour on a flight. And damn they just keep wanting to remind me on Sweden more.. it’s a totally reflection of Swedish national colour gul & blå.. I still dun really get it, they are not a Swedish setup, yet just look at their very un-luxurious website and tell me in my face tat ain’t yellow and blue?! Oh and they have cute Italiano air stewards.. I just can’t resist saying this..

It’s almost 5 days now.. I haven’t even started exploring the city yet.. but take my words Berlin’s metro/tube/subway wat shit u call it.. well they call it rapid transit and underground aka BVG, is the most impressive connection I’ve experienced in my life.. I’m sure I’ll be good bitching bout it much more on later entries, well when I say good bitching, it’s a combination of positively negative splash outs.. but the latter being very minority..

And within few minutes (okay hours.. erm well right, days) of analyzing and head scratching.. I am positively proud to say tat I have mastered the metro’s digestion and understanding.. u think it’s easy?! Have a look at their u-bahn s-bahn network and pls share with me if u have seen a city’s connection more spidery then berlin’s. If u print it out and paste it on the wall, it could actually serve as a bull’s eye practice for u guys out there who wants to practice, ermm.. whatever self shooting u guys want to..

Im still without a proper Berlin map, and the map i took from the airport covers only the central zone.. and where i would be for the next 10 weeks is just few meters out of the central zone, Zone A.. no problem, take a snap shot with XUSI CoCo and i have a map with me wherever i go.. hah!

The people are all foreign again, the faces are all unfamiliar and alien.. the weather got mild a bit due to the change in latitude.. and the language around gets all macho and always reminds me of the sound of rinsing mouth with listerine.. yup, tat’s how german sounds to me.. it’s really a macho sounding language i reckon, gone were the sweet melodic svenska for a while.. human wise, a quick glance around and then i still end up preferring to look down at my ownself’s. It’s just not svensk.. Don’t compare Jian don’t compare.. maybe i haven’t really gotten into the eye watching mode in Berlin yet.

But pls, go ahead and google earth me.. I’ll be looking up to u and give u a good Germanic Hallo!!
