Last days...

My last days are filled with cold weather (they´re trying to make it easy for me to leave) and a full schedule. On a side note: I finally got some pictures up, look to your left (clickable). Isn´t that just the coolest thing? Maybe a career in coding is right around the corner...
Met with 2 girls last night that I used to work with at EF. We had a really good time going to a couple of bars around Oranienburger Strasse (Schwarzer Rabe and Michi). It was really packed, and one bar by the next, restaurants, boutiques, clubs, there is definitely a crazy night life out here. Also the Oranienburger Strasse is famous for its hookers. I thought it was really odd walking by them being able to look them straight in the face and the guys who came to talk to them as well. I guess I am more used to not seeing that kind of stuff out in the open. And I totally caught myself thinking, she is pretty and doesn´t look like she is a drug addict or whatever, why do they do that? And for the guys (and this is really naive, just laugh at me): I was like, wow he looks so normal, even pretty good-looking, why?? Questions questions.
Also last time I checked prostitution was illegal in Germany, so either a lot has changed since I was last here or the unemployment situation is getting so bad that the police rather not put them out of their livelihood?!
Think I need to do some research.
