Today in Berlin

Jacob and I attempted a self-guided tour of West Berlin, but we only
made it a far as the Reichtag before it started pouring rain.
Overall, not extremely sucessful.

We took took the S-Bahn back (do they ever check for tickets?) to
Warschauer and hit up our new favorite doner restaurant before we
retreated to the hostel to dry off.

The only thing I'm hoping to achieve tonight is to pick up our train
reservations and finally book tickets for Dubai.

The thing about getting to Dubai is that flying out of different
cities effects wildly varying prices (Istanbul is over five times as
much as Beirut, for example)... but I have a feeling the cost includes
how likely you are to receive bodily harm. So maybe it's worth it to
pay extra.

I will be online all night so feel free to email!

Alex, too bad you left Seattle. It has not rained here since yesterday. Sounds like the imported construction workers in Dubai have finally had enough. They have gone out on strike. Getting pounded for $150 a month doesn't seem to have the appeal it once did. I hope you are not going there to become a scab. I would be willing to pay you $175 a month to do all of the chores at home. Let me know.

You law breaker.

Be careful with the s-bahn, when I was there some of my friends got 50 euro fines. However, if you're smart you can just run to the next car when you see them coming, and then get off at the next stop. Alternatively, you can argue with the ticket-checker until the next stop, and then run off while he yells at you in german (he's not allowed to get off the train).
