Oh crap, my nerves were shot during the trip, too many broken English conversations and very poor attempts at German in one week. The straw that broke the camels back were the ticket checkers on the Berlin metro. To make a long story short: we had weeklong tickets. Which as we found out are not actually good for 7 full 24-hour days but the day you stamp it on to start the ticket counts as the full first day, not so practical if you stamp it at 6pm like we did, thus, we had misunderstood. But misunderstanding is not in the German formula and quickly the undercovers were yelling at us, (I felt 15 again being busted for painting an anarchy sign on the high school) although we were tourists without a clue and the police were called when I refused to give them 40 euros cash! Nice! Is this normal? To pay a fine in cash to an individual in Germany! I thought this was a real shakedown of a tourist who was advised poorly. Anyway, when I came back home, as I said, my nerves were shot and I was so over Germany I thought to go. My friend we were staying with had just the remedy; I gulped down the maximum dosage in one shot (10ml twice a day) and felt quite better. It worked and we continued in Germany to make the collection. There are a variety of nerve tonics all over Germany, there must be a reason for this. ( Ah, rules, too many rules.) I am thinking of opening a nerve tonic shop here in New York, imagine the sales if I was located down on Wall Street! Goodbye KIOSK, hello NERVEY NERVES. I'd be the biggest customer.
