Continuing on from my last post, the cars are all very small here in Germany. Perhaps this is just because it is a large city compared to Arkansas, but driving is in much closer quarters and more cars squeeze in because they are all so small. I really didn´t expect the cars to be so small, let alone so much skill required to drive in these small spaces. I also didn´t expect for the public transportation system to be quite as good as it is. One can literally go from one end of the city to another citz on the other side of Berlin if they know what they are doing...
I, on the other hand, have no idea what im doing. Is it hot in here or is it just the unexpected lack of air conditioning?
On to the food. I very much expected the traditional German food to be in Berlin. Wiener Schnitzel, bread, and sandwiches are a major staple in the German diet. What I didn´t expect was the foods that resulted from post-WW2 culture. Döner, basically a gyro with a different bread and a loose slaw inside, has become a major food-to-go in Germany. It is quite delicious. A more evasive food for me that is a result of British occupation is the currywurst. I will get back to you on that when I can obtain one.
I will soon be writing my last post for the trip. I am having a great time in Germany! More driving, walking, and looking than I expected, but still great. Wish us luck on our last few days and trip back to the U.S.! Tschüss!
