Tomorrow I am going to Berlin with my roommate Max. We will
be leaving on Friday night and returning Sunday night. I am looking forward to
experiencing a whole new culture. I’ve told Max that while in Berlin, I want to
try and get something unique out of this experience. While I do obviously want
to do some of the touristy things while there I also want to go to a less known
area away from the tourist. It is through this experience that I feel I will
get a better understanding and taste of German Culture, as opposed to the
limits tourism can put on a person’s experience of a different culture.
Some places that we are planning to visit are Alexanderplatz,
Brandenburg Tor, Check Point Charlie, East Side Gallery, Jewish Museum, Reichstag
and if we have time Schoenberg Palace.
In other news, I have booked a trip to Italy and I will be
there from March 5th-13th. I will start in Rome and then
proceed to Florence and finish off in Venice. I will
be going alone and I think that this trip will teach me a lot about myself. I have
always relied on others to guide me as I go from place to place, however, since
I have been studying abroad this has changed. Granted everything is written in
English here in Britain, but this is not the case in Italy. It will be an
interesting experience none the less so stay tuned for updates!
