Today I went on a great walking tour of “Red Berlin.” We went to the Stassi Museum, where we saw all kinds of cool authentic Stassi spy equipment, such as listening devices and smell jars. After the Stassi museum we went into a “ghost station,” which is a station that was closed down during the cold war because the train line went through both east and west Berlin. These stations have been almost perfectly preserved from before the cold war. The last stop of the tour was a section of the Berlin wall that has been preserved as it had been- pre-graffiti, there was also a big chunk of it with graffiti, and with both parts of the wall still in tact.


In the evening I hung out with a couple of guys from New York I met during breakfast. We got dinner, I had some strange “small flour dumpling” dish, and than went out to the pre-may-day celebrations. We ended up at a hipster dance party where the dj was spinning the yeah yeah yeahs, Franz Ferdinand, the Gossip, and more.
