Secondly these are totally backwards, but oh well.
We totally started this dance party at culture fest in Berlin :)

The awsome Swiss drumming group we were rocking out to.
Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate)
Hillary Clinton made a video for us CBYXers to tell us how important we are.
Roughly translated the sign reads: This synagouge is 100 years old.And was on the Kristallnacht (night of broken glass) set on fire by the Nazis.
During World War II in the year 1943 it was destroyed by bombs.
This house of God should for all time stand as a place of warning and rememberance.
NEVER FORGET IT.

Brandenburger Tor at night.
Looking down from the top of the Reichstag (German Congress Buliding). I think it's awesome because it's made so that the people literally walk on top of where Congress is held. And it's made so that the Congress can constantly see them.
Again from the Reichstag.

"The Washing Machine"/Kanzleramt
The wierd horse thing in front of the train station. Like the one in Heidelberg!!!So I got to hear part of a sitting in German Congress (Bundestag). I also got to see Angela Merkel, which was cool. I really came to appreciate her as a person. She came late to the session, and then proceeded to chew gum and talk with other members (while someone else was giving a speech). Some might find this offensive, but I find it very human and I like that.
I also got to go in the Kanzleramt, which is where Angela Merkel's office is.
I got to do a lot in Berlin it was all really fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it. We also went to a culture fest which was fun (as shown in the pictures).
I just had a really, really good time and although I'd love to write it all out. I'm exhausted and leaving for Rome tomorrow. Wish me luck!!
