Berlin

The past few days I have been in Berlin for a final seminar for my program.  I am incredibly upset that I will be in the US a month from now, but I try not to be too depressing on this blog.  Berlin is an incredibly fun city.  I didn't get as much free time there as I would've liked, but the trip was fun and paid for by my program, so who cares?

I got to watch a German soccer game in front of the Brandenburger Tor

take a boat tour of the city

take a tour of the Reichtagsgebäude with my Pate's colleague as well as visiting with my program.

Visit Kunsthaus Tacheles

see LOFT at the Chamäleon Theater, which answers the pressing question on everyone's mind: What happens in a WG that is shared by 7 acrobats?  I'll be honest, whenever an organization, school, or what have you tells you they have planned a "fun" evening with your group, I dread it.  Usually I anticipate going to some play or concert that might be fun if you're 50, but not necessarily that exciting for 74 20-somethings.  However, my program has proved me wrong twice now.  After seeing Tommy in Frankfurt and now LOFT in Berlin, whenever my program tells me they have something "fun" for us to do, I will whole-heartedly believe them.
