It's FunkTerm Berlin, an audio chronicle of my time abroad. Episode 2 includes experiences with German humor, tourist venues, and staying safe abroad.

A. For those German-speakers tuning in, you can read the Aprilscherz article that had us all bamboozled here.
B. For more of César the trombonist, check out his Facebook page.
C. Music credits:

2:07 Postcards from Italy - Beirut
3:46 Zieh die Schuh aus - Roger Cicero
4:09 Schieß mich doch zum Mond - Roger Cicero (covering, of course, Frank Sinatra's Fly Me to the Moon)
