At last the tours of our three big cities has been through! After countless tours, good and bad, along with great food and beer, I am glad to say that I had a great time! Wiemar, Dresden, and Berlin, all big cities with diverse cultures and people was very eye opening to me as a newcomer to this country. I must say I wish we had more time in Dresden, it is extremely historical and would take one weeks to fully understand this city if they were lucky. Even I must say I know little about it... Berlin was greatest to me though. Not only was I able to see the Berlin wall, I also was treated to some other aspects of the city as well. Seeing the Bundestag was very cool, except for the tour wasn't, but I was overall impressed by it. It stands as a symbol for the new German Democracy and for how much of a chance it has to survive. I think that this new government can do it. I was also treated to a ride in an Audi A7 through downtown Berlin and must say that it was an awesome expirience, very different than the normal view that a tourist gets. Another empowering expirience I did was a run from our hostel to downtown Berlin. It was really cool to run alongside the East side gallery and also through the urban area. It was a 7 mile run and I did it in the early morning. It is very cool to see a big city like Berlin wake up and observe all the sights and sounds of this. I also enjoy running as a stress relieving activity, going for mile after mile allows me to free up and just absorb what is happening around me and allow me to think clearly and forget any current problems. Sadly we had to leave Berlin and only end up getting stuck in a six hour traffic jam on the autobahn... fun stuff...
