Ok, so I did not know what to expect from this northern country. But, if I did i would say it has thus far exceded my expectations. The people here are much nicer then any of them were in Italy and it is so much cleaner. I suppose as of the places we have been to I would most likely live here in Berlin. Though therre is an extreme surplus of designers here so i couldnt find a job. Its just that, though the city is extremely old, there are so many new and fascinating things to do here. New buildings to see.
The funny thing is how many people here think I am German. Many times when we walk into a store, or a new place as a group, people know we are american. When my friends go off alone, they know they are american. With me though, as long as I dont say anything but hallo, they think i am German and are incredibly nice to me. Maybe though, they just think I am some Finlander who doesnt speak the language, though I can live with that.
I guess I never paid enough attention in history class. I just never realised how much a part of the last 50 years of german history the US had a hand in. No wonder the country seems the least foreign to me.
Check point Charlie was cool, I got Brandon a postcard.
