headed over to spend 2 days in Berlin. We decided to do the free walk tour on the 2nd day, so our first day there was just free-roaming round the streets. haa. I was so happy! cuz i finally got to eat my Ben n Jerry's =) -chunky monkey- is yummy!!

After so we went to do a little shopping! Went to look for Birks again.. but this time round, i wasn't the one buying cuz i couldn't find any i like. and Mr Lie kept pyscho-ing me to buy! he just loves it when pple spend money! roarrr.. wad a nice friend.

* the 3 big winners from Birks shop.. haha. i'm not inside!!

We went shopping at this large supermarket where i found all my beloved haribos! hahah.. yum yum! bought almost 2kg of gummies back. hahaha.. i just can't help it.. i've got a sweet tooth, okok maybe its sweet teeth. (0.O

went for a quick and simple dinner and headed back to hostel. Me and Yeiling dropped by at the supermarket to get mineral waters while the rest walked back to the hostel. i thought i could have a goodnite rest when i get back but noooooooooooo. =( i lost my money pouch! there's 70 Euros inside la!! grrrrr.. at that very moment my heart hurts.. tt's like $150 gone! boo-hoo.. i was quite sure it wasn't pick-pocketed.. arghh this trip is cursed! all the bad luck just have to fall on me. =( i'm so sad.. and Mr Lie was not nice at all.. he added salt to my wound, teasing me that if i had bought birks in the earlier afternoon.. i would have suffered lesser lost. arghhhh! (ur fugly photo deserved to be up!) boo!

but i guessed the lucky thing was i only lost a pouch and not my main wallet where all my cards were, and i also kept aside 150Euros.. so i still had money wif me. -sigh-

so much so for Berlin Day 1. =(

Day 2, we all went for the free walk tour by Sandemans, with Sher this time round. =) cuz her ah ma and her mum left fer Singapore. (i wished i could too..)

Berlin's free walk tour is the most established tour that Sandeman's had. It has been ard for 3 whole years. yeap.. so the turnout for the tour was so good that they had it splitted into different languages. They had it in Spanish, Dutch, Italian, French and English. yeah.. i think tt's abt it. And for the English tourist like us.. we were further splitted into 3 small groups each comprising of around 20-30 tourist. whoa! haha.. tt's my first time seeing so many tourist coming tgt.

Our tourguide is a wonderful nice lady.- jEssica- =) she's a little small size but with a loud and clear voice and very entertaining too! we all loved her! haha.. As u all know, Germany is all mainly about history so it can be pretty boring at times but she made everything turn out so interesting. =) We all had a wonderful 3.5hrs with her. Shall skip all the history okies.. some main attractions of the tour.. just look at photos. hehe..

* We started off at the Brandenburg Gate.

* Holocaust Memorial

* the remains of the Berlin Wall

* Checkpoint Charlie

* Musuem Island. Look at those statues.. there's some art exhibition going on..

* tt's Jessica and us! =)

Finally made our way back to hostel after a long and tiring day. Lots of packing to be done.

We left our hostel ard 6 plus in the morning to catch the train to Bremen. Yep! we are flying back from there! =) Took a few shots at Bremen.
