Random Scrap:
I woke up feeling hungover, so I tried to remedy it by texting Avi and asking him to meet me for dinner. Avi is a friend of Yiwen and Yiwen is my old friend from London. I only met Avi twice, years ago at a house party and recently when Yiwen visited Berlin. I planned to show up at the dinner place earlier and order a beer to feel fresher when Avi arrived.
Unfortunately, as in many places in Berlin, the service was slow, and by the time the beer arrived, Avi had already been sitting at the table. Luckily, he was taking his time studying the selection of schnitzels from the menu. I took advantage of the opportunity and quickly finished my beer, which seemed to have brought me a bit closer to earth. After the food, we walked around the area looking for a place to drink and settled on a small Italian bar. There, we enjoyed a couple of Negronis, which I followed up with a shot of vodka. The vodka put me in the right mood for the night, and it allowed me to sleep through with no major disturbance.
