Aufwiedersehen, Bremen! Hallo, Berlin!

Tomorrow I'm moving to Berlin. The day I've been waiting for for the past three months is finally here. Right now I'm just worried about moving all of my shit halfway across Germany by train without it getting lost/stolen. We'll see what happens.

Last weekend I went to Amsterdam with my friend Margaret, which was incredible, it's such a beautiful city and they just know how to live the right way. There are millions of bicycles because it's not worth it to own a car (unless you have to commute to Germany or another city to work everyday). And everyone, even the bus drivers, have a sense of humor though trying to understand Dutch is a total mind-fuck for someone who knows English and German because it's the in-between step linguistically but still remains totally incomprehensible. Needless to say, we got lost one night for three hours in the outskirts of the city and getting back to the apartment was not an easy feat.

We had our last day of language class on Wednesday and we all went out to the Lagerhouse until two in the morning, which was great, but now I'm terribly sick.

Amsterdam at night. Canals run throughout the entire city.
They call it "the Venice of the North."



My caramel cappuccino.




Bremen, the city I've been living in for the past month. This is the center of town, Domsheide.
