So, I got to do an interview with this guy:
Youri Ziffer, 20 y.o. Goalie of the Berlin Eisbaeren. A really nice guy, and one heck of a hockey player. Completely saved the game on Sunday, as he often does. And i even coped with his Bavarian accent! This photo doesn"t do him justice, bit of a cutie really...


This is really a fairly random shot of the game on Sunday, but you can see Ziffzer in the goals. You may notice the scores are tied at 2 all, and the timer is set at 0:00. This shot is therefore taken at the beginnin of extra time, which then led onto a penalty shootout. The Eisbaeren won 3:2, thanks to the stylings of one Herr Andy Roach, and the quick hands of Youri Ziffzer. Ingolstadt, the opposition, are ranked number 1 on the ladder.
Enough ice hockey though. I'm sure you're all getting rather tired of ice hockey photos. It's not the same as being there.
I went up the Fernsehturm, finally. Had a beautiful day weatherwise, and not much to do, plus i was already near Alexanderplatz, cos I was returning from my interview. So here are some photos of Berlin from above.

Unfortunately the glass is so horribly dirty (they can hardly step out to clean the outside at 203.72 metres), which makes everything look overcast. As stated above, this was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky.





That evening I went to the International Club offices to make an Adventskranz (christmas wreath). Here are some of the other ladies putting on the finishing touches.

And of course my pride and joy, my Adventskranz, looking lovely all lit up with candles back at my apartment in Lichterfelde. Isn't it pretty! So easy to make too.

I went out to Spandau to visit the old Olympic Village from the 1936 games on Saturday. Also an International Claub activity. Unfortunately the lady who was supposed to be giving us our tour didn't show up, so she didn't get our money, and we just had to look through the fence. The Club is ropeable, it was very embarrassing for them to have brought 30 people all the way out there just to look through a fence. Got a nice bit of excersize in walking to it though, plus i saw wild deer, and there were mole hills! I didn't actually see a mole, you rarely do, but at least i knew they were there, and hey, deer!
