Berlin Blog

New Year’s Eve/ New Year’s in Berlin was the most amazing New Year’s I have ever had. I had never been in a big city for New Year’s, so being able to experience the excitement and joy of a million other people around me was definitely a new and unique experience. The firecrackers that people were popping sounded more like gun shots and not like the firecrackers back at home. It was somewhat scary yet exciting at the same time. The walk back to the hotel was just as creepy as you could hear the yells, laughter, cracking of glass, and of course that unforgettable popping of the firecrackers.
The Charite Museum was quite different compared to the other museums we have visited. The most interesting of the course was the abnormal specimens that were something that I had never seen before. It was quite a shock to see that some of the complications that the specimens had are now somewhat curable. The fetus aisle was a real eye opener as to what the doctors or midwifes must have been thinking when the babies were either born or removed from the mother.

The Ottobock building was a great look into the technology that is available for people without limbs. It is amazing how far the technology has come and how it can be “connected” to the human body and function almost as a normal limb.
