Getting off of the plane in Berlin was a surreal feeling. From the signs with hundreds of words I didn’t understand to the different social styles and looks, there were too many things to take in at once. Over the course of this first week though I have slowly become accustomed to the many differences between our two societies. There are so many things that I love about this place. The food has been great, even if we’ve eaten the same breakfast of bread and butter for the past 9 days in a row with no end in site. The feel of this city is one of history yet still holding modern ideas and technologies to a high standard. Everything and everyone always seem to be busy or moving with a plan, which is quite different from many American standards. Watching a long stretch of road get torn up, repaved, and repainted, all in 48 hours and of great quality… Never happens back in the states. I have loved every minute over here in Berlin doing so many exciting and new things and experiencing it all with such an awesome group of friends. I can’t wait to see what these next few weeks have in store for me. Not to mention how many more Ferraris and Lamborghinis we’ll see… Extremely jealous.
The breakfast never changes.
Never.
