Since I've been back to Toronto, I've been really bad at updating this so here goes...
Berlin was all sorts of unusual. After the plane landed in Schoenefeld at 1:00am, I found out that my luggage was lost in transit. After filling out my report, I spent the ride to the hostel forcing myself to accept the fact that my luggage was gone. I tried to be cool with it. "Okay, Emily, this is the big test. It's just stuff, you don't need it. It's gone." I got to the hostel and passed out hard. The next day I walked to Colln area wearing the same clothes, still thinking about how all much stuff was somewhere I wasn't. Thankfully, walking around Berlin made me forget my lost possessions. Berlin clearly has gone through a vast amount of rebuilding over the twenty years post-Wall rebirth. Berlin is a cool combination of glamour and grit. On one hand, I saw some of the most impressive museums and architecture. On the other hand, I saw modern trendiness to its finest with a mixture of guerrilla clubs and punk rock edginess. Posh or punk, you will find what you are looking for here.
The first day really made me happy. The sort of happy like "I could stay here forever".
Berlin Wall Exhibit at the War Museum.
On my walk to check out Museum Island I passed through a dreamy antique crafts market. Puppies in a basket make me giggle.
This Neo Baroque Berlin cathedral was legendary. Pictures don't do justice to how immense this was.
