Last Day in Berlin
Today was our last day in Berlin. We started off at the Stasi Museum. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, the Stasi were the Communist secret police that bugged everything, including watering cans at graveyards, of East Berlin. It was, of course, really hot and I felt bad for our tour guide because he was a large dude with long hair and a thick beard... but he was a Ginger like me! We got to sit in the lounge where the Commies would all chill and have their coffee. It was cool because the chairs were still the original ones from the commies. Then after like 2 1/2 hours there... we left and got to walk around in Potsdamer Platz the rest of the day. Unfortunately, there were people within our group who were being so damn annoying. And I just wanted to get away from them. They kept talking and being obnoxious and just wouldn't shut up. I don't mind being the leader of the group because I know where to go and I speak German and all these things but sometimes I just wish people would take the initiative and find their way without having to worry about whether or not I'm there to show them where to go. I honestly wonder if they hang out with me because they will get back safely. It's annoying. I think they take advantage of it but I am tired of showing everyone where to go. It's like the end of a family vacation where you are just ready to be by yourself again. UGH! Tomorrow we go to Poland and I'm not sure of the internet situation there so... Until next time...
