Good day,
Potsdam isn’t far from Berlin and no more than 50 minutes if you’re taking the train and don’t get lost like I did. It’s got amazing castles and that’s a big draw. I arrived where my friends were staying and it wasn’t in the city; also I didn’t care for the gent at reception / they charged wifi so I knew I’d be checking out in the morning.
I had an afternoon so I figured I’d stroll around the historic city center and see what’s happening. Turns out, lots was happening as it was Easter Weekend and everyone was off. The town had a cool vibe to it and if I had more time, would have loved to have seen the castles or had patio beers with pals.
Also, lots of wealthy Germans / celebrities reside in Potsdam as it’s close to Berlin but away from the hustle and bustle. If you don’t have to go to work everyday, why bother being a spectator in the race of rats when you can relax in the country drinking fine wine and ingesting animal fats? That or sit alone smoking darts in some park like the lady in the photo above?!

I’m in Krakow, Poland; having great flashbacks from 2010.
