Raves in Berlin

Five months in Berlin was not that much.  Five months is too short for this great city that got so much under it's skirt for one to discover.

I've had so much experiences there that I am really holding on to like a treasure that I would never exchange for anything.

One of the best things that happened to me is meeting Tobi whom I consider to be a real dear friend.  He's one of my great finds in this city.

It was Easter Break and I've got free time from the training though I've got no way of going out of the city or the country since I was broke.  Why was I broke, I cannot remember.  So I decided to sign up in the CouchSurfing site to find activities around the city.  I stumbled upon one of the invitations to go to a rave that starts at around 12noon and ends "until the police comes".  That was the interesting part.  It was something "thrilling" and "daring" and I've got not much of an idea what a rave is.

So there I go with just my written instruction of how to go to the area where the happening is and Tobi's number.  The place was actually quite in the outskirts of the city.  Well, I just followed where the young people with beer in hand seem to go.  The place is just an open space and there were lots of people, music and the works.

I went to these raves for the whole week... in different locations in Berlin... in Goerlitzer Park... in Hasenheide... and wherever there are invitations coming.

It was really an exciting experience.  And I miss it a lot!
