Well since the last pictures, Potsdam has warmed up remarkably. 5C today, has been around that for the last week or so. The snow and ice is slowly melting, the river's flowing again.
In non-weather related news, Sarah came to visit from Scotland last week. Did the whole tourist thing in Potsdam and Berlin with her. The highlight of the Potsdam day was the windmill museum, located inside an actual windmill! All the information was in German but there were diagrams, buttons to push, and it was actually grinding wheat at the time, so it was 2 euro well spent.
It was still pretty cold then, so here are a couple more photos of snow and ice. I like the no swimming sign.
We also went on a pub crawl in Berlin. It was a HUGE commercial operation, more than 100 people I think, and half of them were really drunk and loud Australians, the other half were from Britain, in town for the Oasis concert the next night. Me, Sarah, and another Kiwi who's studying in Berlin were also going to the Oasis concert. First we met at a Kiwi cafe and drank Tui, ate kiwiburgers, wedges, and steak and wandered over to the concert. The concert was amazing - so many people it was hard to move. They played all their hits, and sometimes the crowd was singing along so loud that you couldn't hear the band!
My flatmate's birthday is tomorrow, so I'd better go help clean up the house for the party tonight. Hope you are all well.
Adam
