First day in Berlin today. I stayed at the Circus hostel last night which was as could be expected - jam-packed full of gap-year students. I was up quite early and came across town to drop my stuff off at the place I am staying at. It's a four story high-ceilinged art deco house sat on a street full of similar-looking buildings. The owner, a TV journalist called Nikolas, said that they were built by the company Miele back in the 1920s for their middle management. Nice perk! My day then consisted of registering at the Goethe institut followed by a search for bicycular transport. Wandering around the Schoenhauser Allee district I found a few bike shops, and settled on a tired looking mountain bike with good brakes, mudguards and even a dynamo and lights (not sure if they work yet) for 60 euro.
