Berlin, Germany

Brandenburg Gate 

After a long week of classes and work in Munster I was definitely looking forward to seeing the city of Berlin.  Our train ride was about four hours and as soon as we got in we went to a local bar called White Trash.  My friends and I all enjoyed this bar in particular because they played all American old school music like Greece, and  The Beatles.  We returned back to our hostel, which was Wombats, which was my favourite hostel of all Europe. The hostel was extremely clean and the environment was very friendly and welcoming. Our first day there we went to The main city centre to see the main government buildings and surrounding areas such as the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag building. Later that night we watched the German soccer game at White Trash and had American food(much needed). I was extremely tired so I went back to Wombats fairly early and crashed.

Berlin Wall: East Side

The next morning we went and got lunch at a small cafe and  then went to the East side of the Berlin Wall which was a really moving experience.  I decided to head back to Munster after the Berlin Wall because I was tired  and had a ton of BIT and accounting homework to do.  Although Berlin was short lived I really enjoyed learning about the history of the city and experiencing different aspects of Germany there!
