Ok, so I know I just wrote yesterday, but I had to write again to tell you about the coolest thing that happened last night. We got to the JetPak hostel around 8pm last night, got all settled and then headed down the street for a bite to eat. We found a sushi boat place, which seemed pretty convenient, since all menus are in german and we have no freaking clue what to order, if the sushi passes you on the boat, just pick it up and eat it. It was quite the tasty meal, I had a nice Hefe to compliment, so soon enough we were on our way. We noticed a liquor store across the street and had learned earlier in the day anyone can walk around with a beer or drink so we decided to grab a cool one for our walk around town. Well we didn't get but 50' from the liquor store when Carlos radar spidey senses kicked-in and he found 1 of what we were soon to find out 800 poker rooms in Berlin. Only 200 euro to sit down and play 2.5 euro blinds, so I sat down to play my first international game of poker. And international it was... only one german at the table, a man from serbia, turkey, greece, croatia and then there was US. They thought for sure they were going to take our money. They thought they were going to have an easy time. They were super friendly and had mentioned that I was probably only the 5-6 woman to ever sit at the table and play with the guys. One said, "so you like to just go out and drink and play with the guys" and I thought to myself, why yes, yes I do. It was the most amazing night. We played until 4:30 in the morning and brought the sun up with us! (The sun sets and rises much later/earlier than in US - the pic above is pretty much what it looked like at 4am, maybe even a little lighter). Overall, we had a good session, I lost 20 euro but Los took them for over 800 euro!! Each time we would win a hand a guy would chant, USA, USA, USA! The other guy kept making fun of our american accents. It was a good night and now as I type this the boys are still sleeping at 1 in the afternoon. We need to get out and hit the town up!!
As always, thanks for following. love -m
