Then again meeting friends is always nice, too!

After recovering a bit on Thursday, I had regained enough energy to do some more shopping. More of those cute little Berlin bears on a keychain, the much appreciated gift to my hosts. I have bought 45 of those dears altogether now. The shop assistants remembered me, and were wondering what i needed them all for. ;-)
At "C & A" I found some nice rain jackets and trekking clothes, a lot cheaper than at "Globetrotter". But I didn't buy any - I haven't decided on the colour scheme yet. Everything should look nice combined with everything else. This time I won't take much along, so this is even more important than it usually is to me.
From the shops and the big shopping event in Berlin center I passed (which I hate and never go to), I went straight to the first ever Hospitalitypub-meeting in Berlin at cafe "An einem Sonntag im August" in Prenzlauer Berg. Sov was already there, and so were seven more guys. We were 14 altogether later, from eight countries. Not bad for such a short notice in HC-Forum.
Lots of information were exchanged and new hitchhike partners found, and then they all left for the Mauerpark to enjoy some time in the nice summer night, and to go clubbing later.
I took the tram and bus back home, was surprised by the lovely fireworks on Museumsinsel when passing there, and called it a day. Not without chatting and meeting quite a few of my friends online, of course.
Today it's saturday: time to go to the market on Winterfeldplatz. And meet up with Sov to do some shopping in Kreuzberg. I wonder why Gabiberlin didn't come last night. Hmmmmm...
