Despite knowing almost no German, I'm having a good time in Berlin - yesterday we took a bus tour of the city, which was nice but not the walking tour. We missed that.
I think it's interesting how much of an impact the War still has on this city... we saw a lot of memorials and parts of the Berlin Wall still up. And everything is so new! It seems like most of the city was destroyed durnig the War. We saw a church that was partially destroyed, and now is kind of a monument to the war - it's the first real, tangible proof i've seen that the war was real. That sounds silly but it was really shocking to see it so close.
Today, it's 4:30 a.m. and we're taking the earliest train we could to Munich. It's something like 8 hours, and we only have today in the city. Great. So we're going to get there at 2-ish, and leave on a night train at 10. Great.
Cheers!
