A Sunday with Jack.

I spent Sunday in the sun at Mauerpark reading most of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ramson Riggs. I thought the book would be scary and didn't want to read it alone or in the dark. Now that I read it, I know it wasn't at all as scary as I thought, but falling asleep right after reading the last pages made me have a nightmare anyway.

During the time I was reading I got a text from Jack wanting to have dinner.
Jack is a good friend of mine but lately we have failed to hang out due to various reasons. Basically being on the other side of town from the other one or wanting to sleep. So of course I wanted to have dinner with him. He even promised not to flake, so we decided to meet at a vegan place close to Görlizer Park that night. It was Sunday and since it is football madness in this town, specially when Germany is playing, which they where against Denmark, so everywhere football is shown. This is so not for me and Jack is a friend that also doesn't like watching sports. Of course the vegan place wasn't showing the game and we made a pact to not go anywhere that night that was showing the game.
We eat delicious food and then walked down the Spree and got to Club de Visionaere, close to Treptower, for an after dinner beer.  This place didn't have a TV and was really nice. It was still sun out and we sat on a bridge by the water, while we made up (stupid) stories about the people around us.

This was fun and it was a nice Sunday hang out. I really like hanging out with Jack. He's interesting, interested and a good listener, smart, honest and an overall great guy.
He told me about this girl he is dating that wants him to change the way he walks. She tells him this on first date. This I think is silly because I would never do it, but I was surprised when I talked about it at the couchsurfing meeting the next day, people weren't totally against it with the premise that they really liked the person. I think that the way people walk is a way for me to recognize them from far away when I'm not wearing my glasses, and that it's nothing wrong with that people walk 'different'.  Anyhoo... what do you think? Would you change your walk for someone you date?


On another note:
I have almost figured out how I will go to Sweden on Sunday now. I'm hitchhiking to Copenhagen on Sunday. I have a couchsurfing host there, which was way to easy to fix, and going to meet a friend on Monday and then take a early train to Malmö, change train and go to Stockholm. So I will be back in Stockholm Tuesday afternoon if I don't get stuck in Copenhagen in any way. I'm looking forward both to Copenhagen and Stockholm. I'm super excited to meet everyone back home. I can't be back soon enough.
