Today, Saturday night, I went to a place, where I was told there were some squaters houses, not far from Berlin Mitte. I got there at almost 10:00pm, when the streets were already full of drunks. I rang the bell, a Rastafarian opened the door. I said 'I am looking for a place to stay'. He said 'Welcome'.
Did not ask any questions, did not even know my name...
In fact, I felt a bit disappointed. I like to think of myself as a serious international criminal. After all, I am wanted by US federal agencies, and the Israeli authorities are trying to set me up as well. But I guess I still have to work on the looks...
The community occupies a large, 5-story building with a nice courtyard. They have a large community kitchen with free food. If you can afford it, you pay 5 euros a week.
The guest room is large and nice.
I must say it is tempting to stay here long term. Hope to practice my German to get it fluent again... but a lot of people switch to English once I start having difficulties.

All comments are welcome... especially any tips regarding corruption of the courts in Los Angeles. Anonymous tips are fine. One simple way to do it is from internet cafes, etc.
