Berlin

The next town that we adventured to was Berlin.  As soon as we got off the train we encountered groups of people with piercings everywhere and people sleeping on the ground.  Coming from a small town, I was not accustomed to seeing anything like this so immediately I was freaked out by Berlin.  We arrived on December 31^st so pretty much everything was closing early to prepare for the New Years celebration.  By far the coolest New Years party that I have ever attended or heard about was definitely in Berlin.  The mass number of people trying to get to one place made the once huge crowds in Kyle Field seem miniscule.   The next day a tour guide, who was really friendly and funny, took us around Berlin.  It was really cool to see the different areas of Berlin, wall, and many historical areas.  Then we were off to Dresden.  Dresden was a beautiful city that was rebuilt after its destruction over 40 years ago. While the city has become a tourist place to visit, the people of Dresden did not seem too friendly. Thus being said, Dresden was my least favorite city of the whole trip.  However, we did get to go to the hygiene museum.  By far the coolest museum of the trip, everyone was given one room to teach/ show to the rest of the group.  Our room was the most boring but Patrick did a good job of summarizing the room.
