Hallo

So I've been in Germany for almost four days now but the pattern of travel/being is definitely different. I am much lazier, slower. Haha. It's very enjoyable, though. Berlin is the type of city where you can do that. Laze around, stay at a cafe for way too long, sit in the sun on a beach towel in a beautiful park. Today I went with a new friend to go grab Thai food from this smaller food market---another friend claimed it had "like a 1000 Thai people...," original friend and I now have a joke that we have to divide by ten everything he says, so it was really more like 100 Thai and Vietnamese people. But we enjoyed the food and sitting out in the sunshine and just people-watching. Now I'm again sitting and lazing, but at the cafe right by the hostel. I have no desire to sight-see the way I did in London, at least not during the moment, and almost everything in Germany shuts down on Sundays so not that much is going on anyway.

This is the first time that I've felt like I genuinely don't want to return home. Most of me has wanted to for most of this time, but today was the first day where I have felt this genuine desire to just stay here and not return back at all.

Plans are to visit historical sites on Monday or Tuesday, as well as other neighborhoods. The highlight of here so far has been all the cute little dogs. Just to be honest. :)
