Friday and Saturday I didn't really do that much, hence combining them into one entry. On friday, I helped a friend move into his apartment, and then later went with some other friends to a Biergarten to watch another World Cup match.
On Saturday, there was a parade (didn't bring my camera...sorry no pics) in the city that I went to with Sam and a few of her friends. The parade itself was a lot of fun actually - there were like 30-40 floats and music everywhere. After the parade was over, we headed over to Potsdamer Platz to figure out what we were going to do that night. We decided to go see a movie, but had an hour and a half to kill before the movie started. So we ended up going to a hookah bar (two people in the group wanted to smoke hookah, or Shisha as it's called here) and got dinner. We went to a restaurant that is outside on the side of Oranienstrasse in northeast berlin. Dinner itself was pretty good, I got a margherita pizza (basil leaves, mozzerella, and tomato sauce). After dinner, Sam ended up headed out to see another one of her friends, but I went back to potsdamer platz with the rest of the group to see the movie.
We went to see When in Rome. The movie itself was ok. I mean, it was cute - a romantic comedy with a lot of american comedians, which resulted in a cute story with a lot of cheesy humor. Overall, I thought it was fun. The theater itself was incredibly nice. The seats felt about as comfortable as lazy-boy recliners. Also, in theaters here, your seat is preassigned (which has its plusses and minusses) when you buy your ticket. So, there was no looking around for the "best" seat, but rather just finding the one already assigned.
After the movie, I headed back to the apartment, and got my suitcase together, as tomorrow I head to the Netherlands!
