Study Abroad Berlin: June 4, 2016

Day 13: Packing

Last full day in Berlin. I spent a large part of the day because I feel like I have been going non-stop for the past two weeks which has been great. As this trip comes to a close I realized that there were so many things that I gained from this trip. I made new friends and acquaintances, gained a surplus of cultural education, but mostly I had incredible food. I will definitely miss the variety of food that is available here. I liked the fact that I could eat at a new place every day and have something different every time. Although I must admit I did have to go to Burgermeister and Hello Good Pie twice just because they were that good.
The trip was eye opening to the fact that the Germans are ahead of us in some aspects like renewable energy and communications as well as the fact that their education is very affordable. I did however learn to appreciate free water and the use of restrooms free of charge back home. I felt like I was thirsty 95% of the time on this trip. I didn’t mind the heat too much because you could get used to it, unless you were on the train of the subway, where the heat was the worst.

I won’t bore you with the details of my painful packing process so this post will be short and sweet. I will say, however, on this free day I discovered that Netflix in Germany has better movies available than back home. How disappointing is that?!
