Tuesday we started the day by visiting the Reichstag Building which is the seat of the German Parliment. The building is very historical since it has contained some of the most important political systems to pass through Germany. Next we took off to Sachsenhausen. The concentration camp was really a once in a lifetime experience. It was creepy and very cool all at the same time. It was really interesting to actually see what happened instead of just reading about it.
Wednesday was all about the Charite. At the learning center we got to experience different ways the medical students learn different topics. We dressed up as old people and used a dummy to listen to heart problems. Then we moved onto the Charite museum where we observed different models that have been used by the college for extended periods of time to train medical students.
Thursday was a quick trip to Dresden. Dresden is hands down one of my favorite towns in Germany. It was so beautiful and full of secrets you wouldn't expect. There we visited the War Museum, Hygienic Museum, and had a guided tour. I really want to go back to Dresden and stay for a week. It seemed like a sleepy little town that was also full of excitement.
Friday was our last day in Germany. We first visted the Dellbruck Center of Molecular Medicine. Then we went to the Ottobock Center. The Ottobock Center blew my mind. I've never really put the thought into people who need prosthetics until now. The technology utilized by Ottobock is truly amazing and gives you a new appreciation for people who need prosthetics and those making them.
I am so sad that I'm not in Germany anymore, but this whole trip was a once in a lifetime experience. I love Berlin.
