Today I was in Berlin, Germany. In Berlin they use Euros as their currency too. They speak German which is very confusing. Here is what I have had to say almost everywhere I went in Berlin: "hallo, ist mein name Tori und ich komme aus den vereinigten staaten." I've pretty much memorized this saying.The first day I was here, I slept the whole day. I was so tired after being on the plane so much so I slept. I stayed at the Amstel House Hostel. It was very nice adn homey. The second day I was here I visited Bradenburger Tor. This is the gate that is right in the middle of Berlin. It used to be the symbol of the divided city. The next day, I visited Botanischer Garten. It's a beautiful garden that has many exotic plants and colorful flowers. I spent all day there just looking at how different it all was from what i see in the U.S. Yesterday, I went to see The Story of Berlin. Its a film that talks about eight different cities in Berlin. It talked about how Berlin was founded in 1237. That was a long time ago! It also talked about the different plagues that were in Berlin. It was a very interesting and educational film to watch. I enjoyed it alot. Tomorrow I finally get to go home. I am kind of excited and kind of sad. Europe is amazing. I have never seen anything like the things I've seen here. All the different cultures here are so exciting and the different sites, smells, and even the peopleare so interesting! I am definately going to come back some time!
