For some reason, I thought I wasn’t going to be all that excited about Berlin, but I have to tell you, people, after just one day, I totally dig this city. Unlike London, Berlin feels European. We spent our first day here walking around the residential area where we are staying at a friend’s place. The area is absolutely charming. It’s filled with cafes that all have outside verandas and small, quaint shops. Coffee is fantastic.
We keep seeing kids (7+years old) walking around or riding bikes and scooters on their own. Now I understand why my European students are so much more self -reliant and independent than their American peers.
And I can’t stop feeling amazed at how fresh and delicious produce is in Germany. None of that American stuff that tastes and smells like plastic here.
Today is our landmark -visiting day and on Saturday we will go to a flea market. Friday is as yet undecided.
I LOVE Berlin!!!

Since I love Berlin, I am going to be a bit annoying here and give a list of my favourite things to do: 1. The Pergamon-museum with the Babylonian Ishtar-gate 2. Being inside the Reichstag and the region around it 3. The Postdamer Platz 4. Just walking and travelling around, feeling the difference between the East and West part and the history of the place… Alexanderplatz, Brandenburger Tor, unter den Linden…

I know I´d love it. Have to find some excuse to go — I can think of reasons, I mean some way to afford, have a supported trip, etc.
