Aloha from Berlin

So I realized I haven't posted any pictures from where I'm currently staying. I'm in a pretty nice hostel located next to some good cheap restaurants. Here's a view from my room:
And a view of my room. My bed is the top bunk closest to the camera on the left:
So I've been interested in finding a group here to play some music with. I don't have my trumpet with me, decided it was too valuable to risk losing. I do, however, have one of my ukuleles :)
Lo and behold, after a quick Google search, I found the Berlin section of the German Ukulele Club. They meet biweekly to sing, play ukulele, and drink beer :)
I decided to attend their meeting on Tuesday night. I saw this church on the way over. Not sure what it's called, but it's pretty, isn't it?
I was early so I stopped by a park to play a little beforehand.
Also saw these little blue flowers in the park.
So the time finally arrived to join the old kooky ukulele players at this little pub. All I can say is the whole thing was awesome... extremely friendly folks, excellent beer, and of course, lots of ukulele and singing. Great night.
My uke and beer :)
Ukuleles!
Here's some members of the group. That guy in left-center holding up his ukulele is Helmut... he speaks German at about 200mph haha. Good thing he's pretty fluent in English too. Very interesting guy, a music teacher and a good Ukulele player.
