We're still working out what we're going to be doing on individual days. I'm so excited!!! :D

I had my passport out while I was booking flights and was thinking: I don't really think of myself as a jet setter, but this passport is going to look pretty impressive by the time it expires. In my passport there are 24 pages but 4 of those pages have stuff on them, so only 20 pages are used for travel stamps and whatnot. Of those 20 pages, 6 of them already have something on them (p10: Chinese Visa, p11: Chinese Customs stamp, p12: Chinese Residents Visa, p13:Another Chinese stamp (it's for my exit), p14: US Customs stamp, p21: US Customs stamp). I should be getting at least 2 more pages filled on this vacation, possibly more. I think I'm going to have to do my best to fill this little book up. At least half way (I'm almost there!) but it would be so awesome to have a book where each page is filled (even if it's just a lot of US Customs stamps).

... Dude, how did I miss that you're coming to Europe? And to Berlin? I AM MADE OF FAIL. If you need a tour guide while here or just want to meet up, let me know! :D

(And now I'm skimming your last posts to see what I overlooked, and to answer the railway question: I can only speak for Germany, but the only difference between first and second class tickets is that the first class is somewhat more comfy, at least in ICEs - more leg space, built-in monitors sometimes, and some little things like complimentary chocolates or so. On smaller lines it barely makes a difference, in my opinion, and even for longer distances you can do fine with second class.)

I haven't mentioned it too much on my LJ, so you're good. :P I made one other post about a month ago saying that I was thinking of going to Europe, but I didn't mention where.

I would love to meet up at some point! Even if it's just for dinner or something (although tour guide is awesome too, but I'd hate to take up a ton of your time). And I'd love to hear your suggestions on what you'd suggest I see while I'm in Berlin. I have a book with various tourist spots suggested, but first hand knowledge is way better :)

Hmmm. I ended up buying first class, because that's what lilithilien bought, but had we known that I probably would have bought second class. I just kept worrying that it'd be like China where you had to pay extra to get a seat (it's no fun standing for a 3 hour train ride :S)
