Still trying to catch up
May. 30th, 2010 04:08 pmI finally have some time to post a short recap of my last 5 days in Berlin. I did a lot of sightseeing with my parents, who had never been there. They loved the city, my dad kept saying "It's so green! And public transport is amazing!" My mum's highlight was the zoo: I didn't want to go at first, because I find zoos very sad, but it was a nice day in the end and I took a lot of photos. The animals weren't locked in small cages and they had a decent amount of open air space, but I still think they looked bored and sad, especially the felines and monkeys.
My dad's highlight was the Champions League final Inter vs Bayern München, which we won 2-0. As I didn't have a TV at home (oh God, it's so weird using the past tense when I talk about my flat in Berlin ._.) we watched it in a pub. Thank God I had booked a table, the place was packed. And we were the only Italians and Inter supporters: you could see my black and blue shirt at once among all those red jerseys. Funny facts of the night:
- whenever one of our players fell down, a guy sitting at the table next to ours shouted "Mailänder Scala!" I wanted to point out that La Scala is an Opera theatre, so people don't really act there, they sing, but that might have been a bit too subtle for a football-obsessed brain to comprehend. :P
- both goals were scored just after I'd ordered something to drink for my dad. His comment: "They're lucky I don't drink as much as I used to when I was younger, if I did, we would've scored at least 5 more goals!"
- after the first goal, the above mentioned guy told the waiter "The people at that table said they want to pay and go away". I heard him and replied "No, we don't wanna go anywhere." Haha, he wasn't expecting that. Just because I speak Italian with my parents doesn't mean I can't speak German.
Other than that, I didn't have much time, but I was able to meet Nicole twice and say goodbye to Eline too. I've already written about the last 2 days, luckily everything turned out well.
I still can't believe I'm back. It feels like yesterday when I went to Berlin to look for a flat in August, but it's been 9 months. Let's see what happens next.
I'm terribly behind with the 30 days music meme, I could as well post all the remaining songs at once. But I won't.
