I’ve been up since about 7am Portland time… and it’s now currently 5am Portland time according to my computer… or about 2pm in Berlin… That’s right, finally made it to Berlin!
So we took a bus to the airport and spent quite a few hours at PDX before our flight took off which was some good bonding time with the group. On our 10 hour flight, I sat next to Josie. The flight had a dinner, a snack, and a breakfast and showed three movies and a few tv shows at the end. They showed Moneyball first which I glanced at occasionally; secondly they played Crazy Stupid Love which I watched; thirdly they showed Jane Eyre which I slept through. Josie and I learned some German and played some cards and trivia and then we landed in Amsterdam after circling for about 30 minutes. Our flight from Amsterdam to Berlin was quite short by comparison. We then got all of our luggage and took a bus to our hotel. I’m staying in a triple with two other girls from the trip. We’ve unpacked and now are flipping through the tv channels watching How I Met Your Mother, Spongebob, and the Big Bang Theory in German… quite entertaining. Tomorrow we will tour Berlin and have class, and I will hopefully be more well rested and coherent, not like this post in which I first wrote that we took a bus to the theater instead of the airport. Well we don’t have internet in our hotel so I will post this once we go to an internet café or other hotspot.
Around 2:30 here, we went next door to have some food—we got Thai food and beer. I had a Berliner Weisse—red. It pretty much tasted like juice. Then we walked around to see some of Berlin—mostly shopping areas but we stopped and had Gluehwein—a heated spiced wine.
