Pub Crawl

This could be the most embarrassing thing I have ever done in Berlin. And that really IS saying something.

After years of living here and joking about the dorkiness of pub crawls, conducted by masses of drunk Englishmen in football shirts, I realised last week that I'd never actually been on one.

So, I took the plunge and took part in an "Anti Pub Crawl" last Friday night. The idea of an anti pub crawl (as far as I could tell) is to visit a whole bunch of places that pub crawls don't normally go to. The locations were all pretty different I have to say: "Yesterday" on Schönhauser Allee, "King Kong Club" on Brunnenstraße and definitely the most amusing spot, the gothic bar "Last Cathedral" - ending it all in the club "Frannz" was a bit lame though. But anyway: I'm not ashamed to say that I enjoyed myself all evening. And, that I even discovered a couple of bars that I'd never, ever seen before. Perhaps I'm not really that "cutting ätsch" after all.

I don't think I encountered one football shirt in the entire summer I did this! Drunken Englishmen? Well that's standard...aswell as the Spanish women, American women, Irish women....
