citytrip in one day, or, one hour

We were heading for the 'neue Museum' today, where we could see an Egyptian collection of ancient stuff.
During our route we bumped into a ‘Kuchen shop’ with the finest rolls and stuff. This made me realise here is one German word I actually like. 'Kuchen', special how a word can be both so hard and soft at the same time, so plain, but also so meaningful at once.
We passed a square and the television-tower. The most impressive part of this, was that the floor of the square is kind of collapsing. This made me wonder what will happen to the tv-tower in some years..
At the museum we saw the famous Buste of Nefertiti(the Egyptian queen), a golden and lots of other hats(nice collection which should be recommended to Beatrix).
After the museum, we both felt like a coffee. So we went for one in a university. But we both have been enjoying our coffees better other days. Anja put too many cinnamon sugar in hers (did you actually know, too many cinnamon can be poisonous?!,must be a lot a lot though, since I always use pounds of it, and i am still alive as well)). And of course, I managed to let my full cup fall down, not only over my clothing, but also on my new bag (which was a gift from Anja), into my bag, into my mobile phone and camera and food. Crazy. And so our hands smelled like coffee all day. And so, I need to buy me a new phone…
After the coffee(-accident), we went for a touristic walk. First we visited a monument for the book-burning. I found it very impressive, let me try to explain why. The monument was not most likely a huge statue. At first, it was placed underground. At second you could only see it by looking trough a kind of window in the floor. And then all you could really see were empty bookshelves. Then we passed the Brandenburger Tor and the Reichstag. Alsow,we saw so many policeme; on motorcycles, in cars, buses, ambulances. At first we thought German people found queen Beatrix very important(we saw in the newspaper she was in Berlin too), but then it turned out the ‘NAVO-people’ were actually at the Reichstag to discuss about Libia.
After the walk, Anja and me crashed a bookstore and hang there for an hour or so. I actually saw the official cookbook of Julia child, from the movie Julie and Julia,there.Very cool.
Then we went back home with the subway. At subway’s, I always check the trail to see whether I can see mice. And Yes, I did, just like in Paris. It is kind of like when you want to see shooting stars as well. You can count on it they’re there, you just need a little patience and keep your eyes on one spot. All of a sudden you will see one!
At home we had an improvise-mango-recipes-evening. We put mango with the vegetables and rice, mango in bread, mango in pie and mango in sauce. Somehow mango tastes a little like sweet cucumber, and somehow it smells like Christmas trees, somehow.
