Hello from Berlin!

Guten Tag allerseits,

Its been so long since I have written a post! I don't even know if anyone reads this anymore. But since I've been asked by a few people to start writing again, I am now writting a new post! This week is my reading week and I have visited a few different places! On Monday, I went on a tour with two of my friends to Stonehenge and Bath, which I thought was amazing! I was told by a few people that Stonehenge is not as cool as you might imagine, but I personally really enjoyed it. The audio tour was a bit disappointing though. As for the city of Bath, it was really cool to see the Roman baths and the city itself was extremely beautiful!

For the rest of reading week, I travelled to Berlin, Germany (where I am now writing this post) to visit Linda, a friend I worked with over the summer. My first impression of Berlin was that people were all really nice here and that it was much much cleaner than London! When I was meeting Linda after getting to Berlin, I asked a stranger to borrow his phone and he just gave it to me right away! I spent the first day in Berlin at Alexanderplatz where I saw the famous TV tower and the Weltuhr! I also saw the Berlin town hall and some really old churches! Some other things I did in Berlin include: visiting the Berlin wall, Checkpoint Charlie and the Brandenburg Gate, seeing the Olympic Stadium, eating pretzels, currywurst, and döner, playing UNO and Taboo in German, learning how to count from 1 to 11 in German, getting free cooking lessons from Linda and meeting up with some other Davidson folks who are in Berlin right now! I still have all of today and tomorrow in Berlin and am not sure what I will do yet. But I have really enjoyed the city and Linda has been such a great host! On an unrelated note, it has been freezing here!

Well, that's it for now from Germany. I still have so much to write about being in England the last month but I should probably get off Linda's computer now so she can finish writing her thesis. I plan to write a longer post in the next week talking about my past month in England!

I hope all of you guys are doing well and sorry for such a long delay!
