Berlin, Day 1. R.I.P. the cheap way

The first difference you notice immediately about Berlin in comparison to Munich are the graffitis.
The most bizarre discovery of the evening was a Discount Funeral Home. Apparently, there is a market out there for people who are looking for a cheap way to spend their after lives. (Maybe one of the effects of the financial crisis.)
Makes sense, when you think about it. Why should I spend a lot of money on, say, a coffin, considering the thing is gonna rot in the soil anyway? Also, why would you wanna spend a lot of money on that stupid great uncle once removed and his death? Clearly, Discount Funeral Homes are a market niche. And let's be honest, MJ was probably the only one in a long time (maybe the first one since the Pharaons) to be burried in a golden coffin - if they're ever going to bury him at all, that is.
I love Berlin, capitol of cheap funerals.
