Day 28: Berlin, Germany; 柏林, 德國.

Today is not a great day but I guess it's not the worst. At least it turned out fine at the end. 
今天不是最好的一天但是也不是最差的一天. 至少到晚上的時候越來越順利.

There was an accident on the rail so the train was delayed for 1.5 hours (Someone decided to suicide on the track, I heard it from my roommate. He said it happens quite often on this ride). After arrival, I got lost for an hour just to find the hostel. After settling my backpack down and I was on my way to the walking tour, I got fined 40 Euros for buying the wrong ticket. I bought the short-term ticket and I rode 2 stations over, so I missed the walking tour. At the end of the day the hostel forgot to clean my room (They replace a new one to me.) But at the end I am still alive and well.
早上火車有點狀況所以火車誤點了一個半小時. (有人臥軌自殺的樣子? 聽室友說這段路很常發生). 到柏林之後, 找青旅的時候迷路了一段時間, 結果發現公車坐過站. 到青旅把背包安頓好之後前往市中心要參加 walking tour 結果被查票. 發現買錯票了所以被罰 40 歐元 (我買短程票, 只能坐三站, 結果我坐超過兩站). 最後沒跟上 walking tour. 晚上回到青旅之後他們發現忘了整理我的房間, 只好帶我到一間新的. 至少我還活著, 人也安全所以一切就沒那麼慘對吧?

Finally here at Berlin. I didn't take a picture of my bed because the room is a little bit too crowded. Plus we had a full house of 6 people. I slept in the middle bunk.
終於到柏林了. 我沒有拍火車的房間因為六人房有點擠, 但是還是蠻舒適的. 加上房間是滿的. 我睡在中間層.

There's nothing much to do on a Sunday in Europe, so I  walked through a flee market is next to the Altes museum.
在歐洲, 星期天都沒有什麼事情可以做. 大部份的店家都休息所以路上蠻冷清的, 只有觀光客. 只好走走舊博物館旁的小市集.

Obey traffic rules? So there were no traffic rules in East Germany?
另一面是從東德進來. 標語說: 現在要進入美國管制區了, 禁止下班(軍人吧?!)持槍進入. 遵守交通規則?! 所以東德沒有交通規則?

After a long day I just want to sit somewhere and have a beer. I found a Taiwanese restaurant with dumplings. Gosh, I haven't have Taiwanese food for a while now...
經過漫長的一天, 我只想要坐在一個地方吃晚餐, 喝杯啤酒. 結果發現青旅旁有間台灣餐館. 好久沒吃台灣菜了. 進去看看順便捧場吧.

Got dumplings. I didn't care anymore because I was hungry and tired. haha
