Four weeks

First of all, the trip to Czechoslavakia was called off :( The weather wasn't looking the greatest and I think it was getting quite complicated. I should still have enough material to fill a blog post, though.

Walking back from the institute, I heard a noise in the bushes beside me. First I thought it was a neighbour tending their garden, then I saw it was some kind of animal. It was too big to be a cat, and didn't really look like a dog. After quite a bit of staring, I realised I was looking at a fox rummaging through the compost bin! They're smaller than I thought, and I was tempted to try to pat it. You'll probably be happy to hear that I decided to take the option with a 0% chance of rabies.

On Wednesday night, I went to an Indonesian karaoke restaurant! Melanie from the institute's Dad is Indonesian, so she was friends with the owners there, which was kind of lucky, because it was pretty much their living room. Because I speak English, they expected me to know all the words to every English song that has ever been written, which isn't exactly the case. Nonetheless it was a very fun night, and I found out that "Lemon Tree" (...all that I can see is just another lemon tree...) is by a german band!

Here are a couple of photos from Berlin.

Autumn colours somewhere quite close to Brandenburger Tur. So many people were taking photos here, I definitely felt like a tourist.

Stage at the Brandenburger Tur where they were celebrating German Unity Day (anniversary of official reunification of East and West Germany. It was much busier on Friday night, but I forgot to take photos then. I think I must have looked pretty suspicious because they searched my bag twice on the way in.

Thanks for reading, hope you are all good.
