Berlin Bucket List

It's now 9 days until the Big B and I can't work out whether I'm prepared or not, which is always good...I think I have somewhere to live now, I'd say I was 90% sure, but I'm gonna stay true to my worrywart self and not reveal any details until my suitcase has firmly crossed the threshold of this supposed living arrangment- you know, just in case I've signed a contract with Nigerian princes, or the building falls down or something. So you'll have to wait for the juicy details.

I've also started a pile of stuff in the spare room, ready to be packed. So far, it consists of a pug calendar, some notepads and two tubes of toothpaste. I'm doing well.

I emailed my boss r.e what the hell do I wear to the office and it turns out it's just what you'd wear normally so that's a lot less to worry about. Though that doesn't mean I won't have a tantrum when I can't fit all of my shirts in the suitcase. Oh well.

So what's left now, is the Bucket List. Here's the updated Paris one, with some angry scrawl all over it, though I managed most of it and I'll try just as hard with this one!

• go to the Currywurst Museum because, obviously
• rave it up at Berghain
• watch a film at an open-air cinema and swing on some swings singing Sandy
• go on a daytrip to Potsdam (lots of palaces, a Chinese tea room and Alexandrowaka)
• shopping on Ku'damm I only bought one thing, but it counts okay
• eat at the unsicht-Bar (you eat completely in the dark)
• visit the Stasi Museum and Hohenschoenhausen Prison
• have a picnic in Viktoria Park, Kreuzberg
• buy some tat at Mauerpark flea market
• go to the top of the Fernsehturm and feel sick
• spend hours at Museum Island, mainly where the Egyptian stuff is
• revisit the East Side Gallery 
• visit the Reichstag Dome 
• v isit the Berliner Dom
• explore what's left of Anhalter Bahnhof
• pay respects at the graves of the Brothers Grimm
• look around the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedaechtnis Kirche I also got very angry with a tourist who was taking stupid 'arty' Instagram photos of the candles and I was like, er do you mind I kinda want to light one, to like, remember my dead relatives
• take part in the Paddy's Day parade-I bloody missed it!! I thought it was on Monday, but it was Sunday :(
• Charlottenberg Palace I've seen it, but haven't been in yet...

I went to Berlin with Lewis in 2012 and I knew straight away that I'd live there one day. Aside from being psychic, I'm bloody excited.
