May 1st Demonstration

For you guys who don’t know what happens on May the 1st in Berlin, I’ll give you a really short idea. On this day people gather in Krosbrug and protest about capitalism, have a massive party in the streets, a demonstration and a couple of blocks down they block everything off for DJs to set themselves up on the streets and people can go for a beer and meal. I’m telling you I love Berlin… these kind of things are awesome, kind of reminds me of Montréal with the jazz festival and grand prix weekend. Anything that gets the community out of the house and exploring is always good for the people and their well being. Unfortunately there was a tiny riot where people threw beer bottles at the police. I found myself waiting at the wrong washroom while it was going on and it was totally a real experience - it showed me how sometimes things get out of control. If anything it was cool to be in the middle of it and have that excitement however, I like to play it safe so I left shortly after it began. May 1st rocks. It's this massive street party with hundreds of people and good food. Ania, Luiza and I stopped at a friends DJ booth and danced for a while, it was cool to see people in broad daylight having a good time in the streets.


While we were in Berlin, and this is more a reminder to myself, Kung Takashi and I played this card game Kung bought a couple of times and had a blast. I just had to buy myself a pack and sent it home as a memory. The other thing we did together was watch the series Lost, and lost we were… that show is probably one of the best ones I have seen on TV in a while. It was also nice to watch a TV series after a while of not really watching TV. The boys and I lived together for two weeks and we did everything together from cooking meals, cleaning, watching Lost and exploring the city.
