Basically, our History Class went on a trip to Berlin, for reasonably obvious reasons, what with it being Berlin.

I must say that the city was really surprising. It's an empty city. There aren't very many cars, there aren't very many people, there weren't even that many bikes. There's few people walking around in the shops, on a Saturday afternoon. SATURDAY. It was just empty.

You try going to London on Saturday Afternoon, you'll simply fail.

I was also surprised at how physically huge each of the buildings were. Those Germans really really know how to build stuff.

We looked at the Reichstag, although we didn't go in unfortunately. Apparently this was because it takes about 2 hours to get into the building. Bit annoying really, I wanted to see the huge dome on the top of the structure.

Looked at some of the remains of the Berlin wall. It's not that big a wall, just the fact that it has barbed wire on the top, and if you climbed over one side, you would've been shot by Russians, and if you climbed over the other side, you would've still been shot by Russians.

Went to a concentration camp. That was one fun little trip.

Generally though, the trip was really interesting, and generally awesome. Went with my friend, and we played a lot of FFI and FFIV, in addition to Free Running when there weren't teachers around.

Good trip
