Glatteis Gefahr

Tonight Berlin turned into the world's biggest Ice Rink. My parents and I were at a concert in the "philarmonie" and as we were coming out, there was an announcement to say we were to be careful of the glatteis through the whole of Berlin. Within five minutes there was the first woman down and the first ambulance was waiting to accompany the broken wrist and owner off. There began our crazy slide through Berlin as we tried to navigate the ice field. Funnier yet was when I finally got to my station - it would seem all my neighbours had decided now would be a good time to try skidding from one end of my street to the next. As I tried to walk from the station to my door I realised why: it was impossible to walk anyway, so we may as well make it fun :) I don't think I have laughed as hard in a long time watching others fall and skid and then fall myself. See how many bones I break when I go out a little later with friends
