| ONE OF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US. |
Meet Victoria Pumphrey: she's one of us in this trip. She wears jeans everyday, and she knows the city's train route inside and out. I may be exaggerating a bit, but I'm probably not. Look at the map she's holding! Only a master artisan of the train systems can wield such piece of artefact!
Anyways, she brought all of us to Checkpoint Charlie at first. Checkpoint Charlie was the checkpoint (for lack of a better word) bordering the American side of Berlin, and the Soviet side of Berlin. Very soon after the Berlin Wall was constructed, there was a standoff between the Allied tanks, and the Soviet tanks. It was tense moment, but thankfully, the incident was resolved peacefully, and the tanks were retreated.
After that, we all went for lunch (but not before getting lost in the city first). Lunch was nice. It was Italian. An Italian man served us, so it felt authentic.
The reason why we went to the Italian restaurant was because it was right next to our destination, the Berlin Underground Museum. No, it is not about the Underbelly of Berlin, it is not about the secret mobsters of Berlin. It is about... a lot of things. By trying to explain it, it will sound very very messy, and unorganized (which is very un-German), so it's better for me to link their website, and for you to read it's description. Click here for the website. Click here for an absolutely cute video of a kitten. Click here for nothing to happen.
I'm sorry if there is a lack of pictures, the museum doesn't allow photography in it, but take my word for it, it was extremely educational and entertaining. Through that tour, we know how life is during air-raids. We know the location of Adolf Hitler's bunker. We learnt about many things, especially when you mix zinc sulphide and carbon sulphide together, you'll get an awesome dab (ask your children about this).
We all got back to our hostel safely, and called it a day. It was a good day today, and today was good.
TIP: When approached by "deaf" people, immediately put your hands into your pocket. There's a high chance they're pickpockets.
