The ULTIMATE le Poste!!!!!!: Photo Time!! (part 2)

In what has become my bi-weekly weblog post I will try to update to all those reading what I have been up to the last 2 weeks (actually the last month since I am yet to catch up) - an in hopefully as little writing as possible. But that what pictures are for!

I will take a new approach in this post so I can update you all with consuming as little of my time as possible. Why you ask? Because I'm sleeply, like that dwarf bear munchkin thingy in that story.

So thanks to the google sponsored blogger pic posting tool I can post pics with a caption rather fast without having to mess with HTML, applying any kind of funny photo editing, and fabricating some sort of cohesive photo/text story wit.

** note:
I want to point out that I don't only travel. Actually probably only every three weeks or so do I actually travel anywhere far off and exciting. The rest of the time I work, work, work, work, and work. Occasionally run and swim, attend an evening German class, do something locally, eat, sometimes party, bla bla bla. But now that I have caught up my next post is going to be a little different. I think I'll write about something other than all the wonderful beautiful places and people I meet and write about something more common and dull --> LIFE :(

But in the meantime enjoy... (oh, look at the pictures starting from the bottom as the progression begins there as do my explanations, that means scroll all the way down to a nice pic of a barbecue then work your way up)

And on the train ride home cruising at 250 kph (2000 mph) you see many of these. Why? Because I (because I, me, yo, Ich) work for a compnay that tries to promote these around germany and the world 

Apparently the East German propagandists in the Bull Shit era thought that West Germany looked like this.
 

Appartently Checkpoint Bort looked like this in the Berlin romantic era of the 1960s.
 

Checkpoint uhhhhh... uhhh.... Franky or Tonkey or Bort. 

Me want some! 

Inside of a disco/bar. Was really cool, the building's wall was half destroyed and left a sort of balcony that overlooked a destroyed courtyard with artsy movies projected onto the buildings across the way. All in the middle of the city - only in Berlin.
 

It's hard to take a good picture of what I do quite possible 1/3 the time on weekend trips: PARTY!!!! 

Berlin wall left. Over the wall is Oststrand or east beach. It has sand between the wall and a river will lots of tiki huts serving beir and the likes.
 

Looking from the roof toward Potsdamer Platz and Balloon world!
 

For those of you thinking I was lying about this tour! HA!! Apparently German's wait months to only get half the tour I got! GOOOOO AMERICA!!! 

Inside of Bundestag. After the Russians siezed the town, they wrote all over the interior walls saying things like "Validimir Schmirnov Smirnoff Jivindeski was here" and "We won you stupid f***ing bastard c*** a**hole di**weed di** f*** sh** eating non-vodka bier drinking fu**s" and "Now communism can live on FOREVER!!!!" But the new walls probably only contain the first quote. 

Literally the most important conference room in Berlin, equipped with a nice view, beautiful mahogany table, and of course ME!!
 

Photo between two more important buildings. Looking towards what must be the largest park in Europe and the Bundestag on the far right (don't know what Bundestag is? well learn a little German) 

Got a VIP president like tour of the most important government buildings in Berlin thanks to Olaf (coworker). This is inside the super secret building # 0 looking toward some other building.
 

Bundesstag 

A church purposely left destroyed, the reason: to risk peoples lives by the chance of it collapsing for the sake of tourist dolla... ummm I mean remembrance.
