Chapter 1 - Getting to Berlin
The trip is off to a great start! German customs was a breeze, they looked skeptically at you, then stamp your passport, no searches, questions or anything. The bus ride across town allowed us our first glimpses at the city we would be exploring for the next 5 weeks! We made it to our apartments safely, which are just a block south of the Brandenburg Gate, just across from the Holocaust Memorial, that is visible from my bedroom room window. The first real surprise was 19 hours of daylight, the sun rises a little after 4 am and sets a little before 11 pm. The first morning i found myself getting up at 4:30 am ready to go for the day. Also there is an amazing restaurant at the entrance to our building that always smells of curry wurst, they are great a must try in Germany!
