So, I've been doing a bit of exploring in Berlin's abandoned buildings of late. Today we went to Teufelsberg ("Devil Hill"). At the end of WWII, the British and Americans took the rubble from an estimated 400,000 buildings, built a huge fuck-off hill just outside the city, and put a giant spy station up there to intercept Soviet communications. It's the biggest hill in the city, and the view is great. I took about 60 photos, but only uploaded one because my photobucket keeps crashing. Enjoy it, fags.
One from google:
The square buildings below the domes have no walls and are full of awesome graffiti. You can actually still climb up into the tallest dome, which makes the most insane echoes whenever you move. The whole site has been completely trashed, but it's still really interesting.

Europeans are just better drivers in general. Their narrow roads mean they're used to squeezing their cars through tight spaces and negotiating quickly when drivers come the other way. In places like America and Australia, people have no fucking clue where the edges of their vehicles are, and they barely bother to make eye contact.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. The road system works so much better out in canada too generally with management doing as good a job as possible in many places, and things like being able to turn right on a red light (except in quebec I believe) helping to keep things moving smoothly, but they definitely have issues with lane changing, tailgating and brains generally, especially truck drivers who stick in the middle lane and make visibility from people going from lane 3 to 1 (or 4 & 3 to 1) so much more difficult. My sister in law actually said that she'd be very wary of driving some of the narrower roads we have here in places where you have to be careful because only one car can pass and there are places that you pull over at to let them through etc because it's such a foreign concept to many of their wide open spaces.
