I recently encountered a post on my letter from Berlin. I'm afraid I've been completely misunderstood and take total accountability for my carelessness in rendering an accurate portrayal of Berlin. So here is my defense: When I travel, I rarely have expectations, and so my self-inflicted disappointment with Berlin was completely conscience. For the sake of avoiding providing my own true impression of Berlin I chose to implement a lighthearted tone. To be honest, I just was too saddened by the history of the place to enjoy it. I cried at the Holocaust Memorial and was close to doing the same when I walked through the square when hundreds of pieces of literature were burned. All these facts and thoughts were avoided in my letter because, honestly, I'd rather make you laugh than write about how I cried. So there you have it- my actual thoughts on Berlin, hold the sarcasm. PS: It's "wasted". I think you mean my whole life must be so "wasted". (Sorry, the English major in me had to do it).

The reported experience here seems to be the most self-inflicted disappointment of all. Seeing Dunkin Doughnuts and HardRock Cafe in Berlin is like having a dinner date with Robert DeNiro and Obama but instead talking to the ugly waiter. Your whole life must be so waisted ...
