Tag Sechs

Today we had a bit of an earlier start thanks to the Disrespectful Spanish Guy. He stayed all up all night talking on the phone, even when everyone is in bed around him trying to sleep, and tried to sleep in till 1 in the afternoon and glared at the people who were up at 11. So this morning, his last day, he crashed an banged around the room and slammed the door shut at 9 am. So Steph and I lounged around a bit, enjoying the freedom of being the only ones in the hostel room. We went to Oranium and the waitress, who has been working since we began our new habit, asked us if we even needed a menu. Steph and I proudly ordered auf Deutsch: "Ich möchte ein Fruchtetopf und ein Kaffee/ Grün Tee". Then we went to on a (long!) walk to find the nearest Deutsche Bank as that is the bank that sisters with the Scotiabank and we can pull out money for free. Every German we asked gave us different answers with different areas it was....or was not. We never actually found it in the end but after an hour of searching, you stop caring. We bought a new hairdryer and transformer as Steph blew hers and we are still astounded at how cheap it is to buy those things. Then we walked over to the Aqua Dom which is a big fish zoo. It was very neat in there. They have fish tanks that you walk through and they have all sorts of different fish including sharks and sting rays. It gives Undersea Gardens a run for their money. They had a big room which was a maze of mirrors which you had to keep your hands out in front of you or you'd bang into the mirrors. Then at the end, they have an elevator that went up into a a giant fish aquarium. It was very cool. Then we went for another walk around a different part of the city (not very nice) and ordered more drinks auf Deutsch and went home when our thighs were about to fall off. On the way home, Steph stopped at a take out pasta place and it was the best pasta we have found yet. Now we are back in the hostel and resorted to our 2nd new habit: watching movies on the laptop before bed.We have four new "friends" to our number. Kendra, The Canadian studying in Norway, leaves tomorrow which is sad and a new Australian Working In London is here and she is VERY outgoing. Three French people are here but they don't speak much English which makes me wonder how they are getting on if they don't speak Deutsch either...
