My project 365 is waaaay off, so lemme cap it off again with this.
3/365
This photo was taken in Berlin, en face de la Berliner Dom (The Berlin Cathedral)
Autumn. It took me 13 years to get to experience Autumn again. This time, around half a world away.
Gosh. A month on, with about 3 to go.
This just comes to prove how hard it is to find time to blog despite the enormity of our “free time”. Some classes are now ending, with what we think has barely just begun. The irregular schedules and room assignments, the intense language barrier, the intensely bipolar weather, dashing to trains, missing trains. Yeap. JTA is beginning to look like all that.
The trip to Berlin was an incredibly tiring ride. Lemme start from the very very start.
FIRST: We had to dash to catch the 5:20 RER B train from Evry to Gare du Nord.
SECOND: We had to literally RUN to get from Gare du Nord to Gare de l’Est.
THIRD. We kinda chilled on the first leg of our Paris to Frankfurt Train
THIRD AND A HALF. Our train gets fucked and get delayed half an hour.
as expected…
FOURTH. We miss our train from Frankfurt to Berlin. We catch the next train, and get displaced seats. GOOD THING though, that a bunch of people didn’t get on the train when they said they would.
When we got to Berlin, it was this super chill city, full of history and REALLY REALLY CHILL. We rode the S-Bahn for free because of eurail, and the people were kinda nice-er than the people in Paris.
I CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW BERLIN’S H&M MAKES PARIS H&M LOOK SO SUPOT. =)))
Moving on.
The next day, we go on a free tour around east berlin. It was, hands-down, the best tour I’ve been on, even if it took a quite a long time walking around. The history of Berlin was something overly grasping.
You really see how people’s struggles can bring forth such a booming city.
The last part of this trip was Museum Island, where the Berliner Dom was (a protestant church), the New Museum, and the Old Museum (that’s what they seriously call it), and this picture was taken along there.
I’ll stop here. With the coming photos to continue the story of Berline!
