Berlin can be a strange city (merkwürdig Stadt). Today (Heute), i went into a museum that boasted free entry, but once i got inside, all the doors were locked. Weird. Anyway, here's a picture of the building (Bildung) from the outside. Cool, huh?
In front of the museum of locked doors, there was the saddest playground (traurigste Spielpatz) i've ever seen.
After my trip to the museum, i was kind of hungry (Ich habe irgendwie Hunger gehabt). Those of you who are familiar with my eating habits know that i subsist mainly on bean and cheese (Käse) burritos from Del Taco. Well, In Germany, cheddar cheese simply does not exist, and tortillas are worth their weight in gold (Gold) [they cost the equivalent of 5 american dollars for a dinky li'l package of 8!!]. Anyway, i grabbed the closest thing i could find to a burrito, which was this falafel thingamajig. You can get one of these from any one of the stands that exist about every ten yards or so. This one was particularly good, because it was made by Mo, the self-proclaimed King of Falalfel (König der Falafel).
As long as i'm talking about things I've eaten here, i feel obliged to mention a couple more things in my "Germany is strange" post. Below are the German version of cheetos. However, since they don't have cheddar cheese here, their corn puffs are PEANUT (Erdnuß) flavored. I bought this sack for its brand name, and because it was practically free. At first, i couldn't tell if they were the best things i've ever tasted or the worst. Four days and many handfulls later, i think they might be amazing.
The last thing i will show you is one German version of toaster waffles. These waffles boast that they are fresh (Frisch) and also that they are made from eggs (Eier). Or maybe that they are made from fresh eggs. You never know when it comes to food packages. Anyway, they don't freeze these here, which i find weird. Eating them like the picture (das Bild) on the front, with the raspberries (Himbeeren) and whipped cream would be a good way to give yourself diabetes, because these are essentially just waffle-shaped pieces of cake (Kuchen).

I know what you mean about the burritos. There are Italian, Japanese, and Chinese restaurants, but Mexican is totally non-existant. Oh well. Perhaps I can mail you one when I get back to the states. You wouldn't have to send me one of your nuts.
