Funky Town

Dear Foreign Travelers,

I am going to let you all live vicariously through my experiences. So the next time anyone asks where in the world you have been, you claim Berlin on your list. This way my stories can become you stories, and you can spread the good news of Berlin across the globe, bringing peace and joy to all that seek it. Well maybe not. But if someone asks you what Berlin is like, you can now tell them. 
Its an interesting mix between old and new. The buildings and the architecture, runs the gamut, from extremely old building that looked like they were built for roman emperors, to very hip looking office buildings, to everything in between. Many buildings are sprawled with graffiti and most of the people look like have partied for the last 20 years. But has a unique European feel with people riding bikes everywhere, and small streets with unique sausage stands everywhere. Yes they know sausage and they know it quite well. But that is for another post. But here are some pictures I took within the last coupe days of trying to get apartments, talking to my school and getting used to the time difference.  
 check it out ill post more pictures later

  2. Looks and sounds incredible! although you asked for this response on the previous blog...I too have found necessity for the art of pointing smiling and hoping, restaurants in south east France proved to be a difficult and rousing experience..."i just want the Goddamn chicken, alright!?! pou-let, pou-let!!"

    Had any difficulty in the dining scene, or are the road stand sausages filling your gullet for the time being?
