Ich bin krank

Hallo!,
 
Ich bin sehr krank :(

Being sick in Berlin is so much...weirder? Then in the US. Over here you can´t just go into Rossman's and pick up some medicine. You have to go through an Apotheke, WITH a doctor's note. I hade to miss some class and just try to sleep it off. This, vitamins, and tea seem to be the go to fix for everything here. I am honestly suprised I didn't catch this earlier. Everyone in my German class was sick. My German teacher had to take a week off because of it.

On another note some ''Christmas Markets'' are opening up. There is one in Potsdamer Platz although...it's not really a Christmas Market. Just a few shops with cheap food. They are setting up the one in Alexanderplatz and Charlottenburg. I really want to go down south next month to see more of the traditional ones. Anything in Alexanderplatz tends to be more toursity.


Oh!

On Sunday I went with Lizzy to the Ballonaktion, for the 25th anniversary of the fall of the wall. We were in Brandenburger Tor, but it was to croweded. So we walked to Potsdamer Platz and had the perfect spot! We were right under a ballon. I took a small video and lots of pics which I will have to put up. It was amazing! They released the ballons one by one, and there was a light Show at the Brandenburger Tor. This was such an event that the DB STOPPED their strike early!! This is a big deal for DB. They love to strike. (That's fine with me, as long as BVG never strikes...You can do without Sbahns, you Need Ubahns and busses though.)Then of course after we went to Kreuzberg(The BEST place in all of Berlin) for Döner. It's probably bad the amount of Döner we consume, but it's sooo tasty. The one we always go to has the nicest people, who put up with our very bad German.



I also got my classes for next Semester.  I am taking The Human Condition in the Totalitarian Experience´, and The History of Modern European Diplomacy. I also have to choose whether to go to Paris or London......

Now I am off to Alexanderplatz to get my Computer back.

Tschüss!

(PS. Saturn. Sticking a paperclip into my Laptop is NOT going to fix it or tell you what is wrong with it. Nice try.)
