Diversity in Berlin- It has come to my attention that the country of Germany is not as much of a melting pot as our home country America is. America is filled with all sorts of culture, people and languages that have come from all over the world. Its much easier to use America as a country of study on the topic of diversity. However Berlin has begun to open its doors to refugees from Syria and other countrys as well as all of Germany. Syrian refugess have found their way into Germany and are spreading all of their cultrual ideas and many other attractive ways of living. The same can be said for the Turkish, they have put quite a bit of their own culture into German styles of living. Now before someone gets offended all of the things that I am saying are not 100% fact because I am sharing my own experiences. Lets not get butthurt about something stupid. I love Germany so far and I need to come back again in the near future to visit my newfound friends and explore different parts of the Country.
The thing I love the most about Berlin is the ability to walk or bike anywhere you want to go. If you want to go shopping, there are hundreds of shops and stores all over Berlin. If you want food, there are at least 20 restaurants down one street. With so much to do with so little time another trip to the capital of Berlin is nessesary for any American. Much like many large American cities, street vendors are everywhere. Selling this and that, if you're ever hungry you can stop by any of these vendors and almost have a garanteed good meal. The Germans took a few of us shopping again because I really wanted the German National Football Team jersey. After seeing one for 85 Euros, Leo said his mom could find one much cheaper that 85, and so. We ordered a jersey for 60 Euros and all I can say is. Ja, Genau! ( Dont worry about the translation, just roll with it )
