My 1st ' Amazing' trip to Berlin about 15km walk x.x'
Erhem ...I heading there for some paperwork , not for fun x.x'
Why am i going to Berlin ? Good question , might as well you just ask why the Embassy of Malaysia located in Berlin , and why not Cottbus +.+
So i just go there and say ' hello ' to the Embassy bear bearo.O
In short , I wake up at 4a.m. in the morning to do the preparation for my documents and have some problem and delay from 5:30-5:45 a.m. , resulted that i have to run and catch the train to Berlin because we already miss out the 6:02 a.m. train and we have to catch up on the 2nd train , by the time we get up on the train is JUST one minute before it depart at 6:07 a.m. PHEW ~~~~ I hate rushing for the train , never ever ask me to run and catch up any train again !!!! My stamina definitely not allow me to do that.
Berlin that round round famous building
View from main station
Dem deutschen Volke - meaning To the German people or For the German
On my way to embassy , we WALK from main train station from berlin to the Embassy , about 6.5km !!! 1 hour just to walk ! And is just only ONE WAY , the embassy lady looks so shocking when she knew that i walked from the main train station to the building . Coz i don't know which train or bus to take also , we only have one google map , so just follow it and walk and walk and walk .
After an hour , finally i saw the flag
But ..... nightmare .....passport photo not okay , Euro or Rm they also not accepting, they want it in Pounds !!!!!!!! And nearby don't have bank , so ........ WALK again to Zoo area in Berlin , another 2km again just to search for a stupid bank or money exchange office to do the money changing . But then , walked into 2 banks also got rejected because they don't change it , then we have to go to search for the money exchange office , so walk again.
Finally , manage to change to 50 pounds with 65 EUR. So now...have to walk back again to embassy ...Yay....
Otw back to Embassy , saw this rest.
I'm very hungry at that time , coz i had coco crunch and milk in 4:30a.m. , then 9am in berlin main station i eat some biscuits that i brought from home , then 11:30a.m. i'm walking still and doing this stupid exchanging money for the embassy.
Guess what , Embassy want 16euros for courier service to London and 50 pounds for my passport application !! REALLY BAD SERVICE EVER ! +.+ Why can't they all standardize it !!!!! Passport application don't accept RM or EUR only $UK ! Then courier service only EUR !!! I'm so hungry and so tired coz i walked toooooooooooo much !!! Finally I'm done !!! And i don't have any more energy to sightseeing or travel around Berlin , is time to say GoodBye to Berlin , anyway i still have to come back to the stupid embassy again !!!!!!!!!!! I really hate it !
Not gonna walk back 6.5km anymore , so just see whatever transport we could take , the U-bahn, we took it , but is the wrong one *.* So , walk to another S-bahn again .
Inside U-Bahn
Really historical train station
Old old type of germany train
I can see Many Berlin Wall ! Window stickers
From U-Bahn need to take another train to S-Bahn
On the way to S-bahn
Saw pizza-hut
Zoo garten..basically our 6.5 km is like walking through 5,6 train station , can you imagine that ??!!! We didn't take the transport and we just walk !! My leg now basically can't really move , and yea...tomorrow i still have to go for meeting in uni .
Berlin main train station , I'm already super exhausted coz i didn't eat anything , almost gastric at that time.
Burger king or pizza hut
Burger king is cheaper
Okay i will go for it !
My breakfast , lunch whatever ~ Eating time !!
Cost me 3.99 for the cheapest set for burger king , still RM20 heartache
On my way back to home Berlin -Cottbus
So, my morning exercise starts at 5:45a.m. from my dorm to the main train station , and is 2km walking distance is about 30minutes.
Morning 2km
Berlin 7km+ 2km + 2km + 2km ~
Hallelujah ~
I don't know where is my leg , can i walk anymore ?
