Long queue to get inside, lot’s of people inside and chaotic network conditions. But, hey, that ’s pretty normal I later learnt. Went to some legal talks during the afternoon and tried to synchronize my email - without success. WLAN is simply not useful for that many people and there were not enough network ports.

Went to the lockpicking room in the evening and watched a video that explained in detail how to overcome different locks and security devices. Eventually signs of passive inhaling occured and I went to the phishing talk which was held by mario manno.

Met with Christian and Melanie later on, ate a burger and went to an Irish pub at the Hackescher Markt which I had discovered during the morning. Amazingly, this pub had also wireless access, so, sure enough, geeks were sitting around with laptops - not even at a pub you are safe nowadays. We left shortly before midnight and I tried to be helpful to get Christian and Melanie on the right train. Figured out, that trains were not running straight to the Potsdamer Platz and decided to take a scenic walk. Managed to miss the night bus by seconds and convinced Christian and Melanie to walk along the Strasse unter den Linden to the Brandenburg Gate. We parted at the Friedrichstrasse and I hurried to get home. 3 pints of Cider caused an urgent need which was not easy to fulfill. If you are in desperate need of a public toilet, they are all closed. Eventually found a shaddy toilet - not a second too late.
Fell straight into bed at 1am.
