Berlin, Amsterdam, and Paris

ok wow sorry its been awhile since i've written. its just so crazy finding free internet or at a decent price. the last place was 2 euros for 30 min??? heck no techno.
Berlin was by far my most favoritest place ever! we took a tour of the city and our tour guide made it so much more enjoyable. i loved the history, the buildings, the people. four nights was not enough....:( even though we jumped from hostel to hostel, each one was awesome. my favorite: wombat's. i recommend it thoroughly. we also went to a pub crawl. if you didnt get drunk, you should've stayed home lol.
amsterdam was insane. it was what i expected but 10x more. there are no rules except get out of the tram's way becuz it's not gonna stop. for no one. the red light district was unbelievable. the prostitutes looked like manniquins behind glass but they moved and tried to pull in dirty old men into their box. i was a little creeped out by the creepers lurking around. there were coffeeshops, fri stands, sex shops, and kabab restaurants. and that repeated over the whole district. we felt like we were the only girls cuz in every hostel there were guys everywhere. i should have guessed. pretty much the only girls there were with their boyfriends.......wow. but anyways, it was fun. we went to the absinthe bar where they had pretty much every kind of it. we tried a strawberry kind. kinda like licorice. overall, fun times. a few days is enough of this lifestyle and i prolly wont have fries for a while....
Paris. j' te aime paris.....there is so much to see here. first of all, i've never walked so much, waited in line so much or spent so much money in one place throughout my whole trip. but its still worth it. we went to versailles yesterday which was amazing but took so long becuz of the lines. the louvre was awesome. we saw little old mona lisa, venus de milo, the da vinci wing, and other crazy old stuff. even though i've walked alot, i've also eaten alot of baguettes and cheese. so good. we just grab one to go but it doesnt last very long well, for me it doesnt. we saw where the moulin rouge is in the red light district. a dinner and show is so expensive, its about 150 euros. uh, no. so today is our last day in France....we're going to picnic at the eiffel tower. au revoir, paris.
