Ok so Bristol was very pretty but it rained all the time and the wind was ridiculous, especially around the Glastonbury Tor, which isn't a proper tor at all, but a hill with a tower. Silly Gaelic languages having words similar to German.

Also because HT and I had an argument about it (I don't remember why, we were both pretty cranky on Sunday) I didn't have fish and chips together, but I had chips. We went to this wonderful little pub in Bristol and the guy working there was really really nice. I forgot living in Berlin how sometimes the people serving you can actually be nice.

On Tuesday Linda, Nathan's girlfriend, came to visit with her friend. I asked them what they wanted to see and Linda said that she absolutely couldn't leave Berlin without seeing the new Jewish Museum that everyone has been talking about. So after a few phone calls to determine the location (I'm such a badass, I got people looking shit stuff up for me) we made our way over there despite freak rainstorms and the entirety of the U1 not running. I highly recommend visiting, you'd be surprised by how little you know about Jewish life in Europe, and at only 5 euor it's a bargain that is hard to beat. It's also kind of a refreshing to visit a place that isn't so preoccupied with Jewish death, which unfortunately pervades the city of Berlin like few others.

Afterwards I dropped off my bread at home and played tourguide for a while, it was fun. It's nice to know the history of a place like Berlin, mostly because there is so much of it.

Not much else ist passiert. I have to work on what was supposed to be a group project this weekend and will probably not make it out to the Karneval des Kulturs this weekend. It's a sad day. I'm going to email the professor tomorrow (or later tonight) and complain that in the entirety of my academic career I have never seen a professor condone two people ditching out on group work for any reason. We shall see how that turns out.
