Berlin Day 3

Today started with excruciating back pain due to new beds in the hostel that basically felt like I slept on the floor, the same sandwich breakfast, and lots of walking. We went to two different malls, the Westside mall and the Eastside mall. Both malls were similar in the fact that they were department malls or the example I gave was that they were 7 floor Dillard's or Macy's. The malls differ in the products that they carried. With the Westside mall being the second largest mall in Europe, it began to be a bit overwhelming. They carried literally every designer brand you could think of and it was a higher class meaning I didn't buy anything basically. The Eastside mall catered to the more average people and only had high class stores here and there, not everywhere. Also, the crowd that hung around the Eastside mall was different. There were many homeless people who approached us asking for money. The best part about this trip was that we found our way back to hostel with no problem this time lol.

We also took a tour of the Parliament today. It was boring sorry. The tour guide kept asking us questions that no one knew the answers to. It was almost like we were supposed to take a class before we went and that was the test. Also, there wasn't really much to see and she just stood and talked to us for the whole hour. I recommend not dressing up because your feet will hurt. I've done more walking here than I've probably ever done in my life. Overall a very productive and tiring day.
