Everything

June 13, 2016

During the weekend I had a lot of fun. I spent so much time with Emmas family. On Friday we went shopping with my friend to a mall near Berlin but outside of it. I bought a couple of stuff, many of the people working there were able to speak English and we even got attended by a Mexican guy at the Adidas store. The weird thing that doesn't happen in America is that, our Germans left us to go shop separately. After shopping for a while we sat down to eat some currywurst, which is always very good. We left the shopping mall and Melanies mom went into a store where they make homemade jam. After that me, Lesli and Melanie's mom went into the Olympic tower. It was a very beautiful sight. I could see all of Berlin and all of its wonderful sights and popluar monuments.

 I could see the main street with lots of traffic, I could see the trains and the buses running there routes, which is a very common type of transportation here in the city. I have noticed that the cars here are very small because of the little amount of space that the cars have to park out in the streets. There is a lot of parallel parking here, which I always thought was very difficult but they make it look so easy. The buses and trains are always pretty crowded.

 On Sunday: me, Memo, and our Germans meet up at the Flea market, Flohmarkt. There was so many people there it was insane. People from all over the world were there: I saw/heard: Americans, Asians, Argentinian, Peruvians, Africans, and many Germans as well. There was music, karaoke, magic acts, artist, food, and many booths with clothes on sale. Everyone was drinking and having a good time that Sunday afternoon. 

Another thing that one sees in Berlin, is people handing you a piece of paper to read in German or English asking for money. Or some don't ask for money, but for your bottle of water or your glass bottle of soda. Because that is money to them, one can exchange the bottles in any drugstore or market, for .25 cents or .50 cents.
