Greetings from Germany

My initial perception of Berlin is pretty good. I'm not going through any culture shock, because Berlin is a lot like Minneapolis. I guess aside from the language, here are the few exceptions I've found so far:

=In Berlin, Everyone smokes. Everyone.
=In Berlin, Everyone wears black. Everyone. I'm pretty sure anyone wearing all white would be shot on sight.
=In Berlin, people follow the rules, especially when driving or walking, and there is little tolerance for rulebreakers.
=The beer in Berlin makes the beer in Minneapolis taste like piss
=Berlin has a bunch of Internet Cafe's with fucked up kezböärds
=Lots and Lots and LOTS of art in Berlin. Statues, memorials, museums, you name it.
=Lots and Lots and LOTS of graffiti in Berlin.
=Minneapolis has never been bombed.

But most importantly, Minneapolis has more live music than Berlin. Or perhaps I should say, the live music is easier to find in Minneapolis. Even a cover band would be better than fucking DJs, because we all know DJ's are useless hack wannabes, they can't make music, so they make a living 'spinning' other people's records. For some reason, people think DJ's can be good at this.

I'm in Köln now, and moving south, but it's back to Berlin by the 24th for the Marilyn Manson concert in Citadelle Spandeau...
Tchüss...

KTHXBYE,
