Eisenhutten...what?

It's Eisenhuttenstadt, haha what a mouthful...only in Germany. This is a tiny little town in the suburbs of Berlin.  It was cozy, kind of reminded me of Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls.

We had a mild day here after all the sightseeing we did in Dresden and Prague. We visited a place called The Museum of Everyday Life. It features household items in Germany from the 50's. We saw things that were familiar to us and some that weren't. We learned about the punks in Germany back in the day, how cool. It was pretty neat to see some things we still use today that have evolved with the advancement of technology. The best part about this museum was when we left. No it wasn't THAT boring, but because we left Josh behind! He fell asleep in one of the rooms in the museum, we didn't even realize we left him until he called us during dinner! Needless to say, this definitely outshone whatever the museum had to offer us.

After the museum, we headed over to our concert venue- the Friedrich Wolf Theater. It was our first venue with dressing rooms! I felt so spoiled haha. The concert was fantastic because we had an awesome audience. We played 3 encores! There was this little girl that was inactive or is an investigator who LOVED Asians so the hosts of the concert wanted me to meet her. I was kind of wary at first since I felt like I was being exploited (haha) but she was really cute! She was so excited to meet me and gave me a picture she drew. I did a good deed :P

We left with host families for the night and we got a way sweet one. Their back yard basically consisted of the remains of the Berlin wall. When it was torn down back in the day, they witnessed the whole thing and collected some of the remains. We got to take some home! Their cat was cool too, it could catch its treats with its paw and eat it. Obviously I don't interact with animals enough anymore that little things like that amuses me.

Eisenhuttenstadt was pretty chill, I liked it mostly because the name was long and I can actually pronounce it. But every city we visit was a neat experience and this was no less :)
