Making Friends with Berlin

It's ages since I was in Berlin; I think it was in 2005 or 2004 with my high school German class. So actually it's like coming to a whole new city, my memory is so bad so I really don't remember a thing. Except a taxi driver who threw me out of his car because I sounded Russian. Never mind. I'm already starting to like it!

Yesterday I did some walking around the neighborhood (for 7h!). I just tried to get a catch up of the German language, and to use it where ever I could while I created a picture of Charlottenburg. It's kind of hard to get in touch with people in a city where you know no one, but luckily my internship at the equine clinic starts on Monday. That's something to look forward to, but at the same time I'm a bit nervous because this is my first time doing clinics, and that in a language which I don't feel so comfy with. But I'll learn!

Outside Gym in Charlottenburg. Wonderful!

I live in this fancy pancy place in West Berlin, at Theodor Heuss Platz, and feel really lucky to be able to once in a lifetime have this kind of a place on my own. It's amazing! Though, it lasts only for 7 weeks and then I'll be heading to Mexico and share a tiny room with 6 or 7 people, so I have to enjoy this luxury while I can.

Library, at "home". Good thing for  a book lover!

Morten, who is a great guy that I've been playing poker (!!!) with in Copenhagen, is also here in Berlin this August. We had a Weissbier (he had 3) at Alexandersplatz and planned his birthday which is tomorrow. So it will be my first time out celebrating in Berlin! Wippei!

And of course, missing my sweetest Peppi, I paid a visit to the  Zoo to look at some bigger dogs and cats!
