Well, the second week is quickly coming to an end and I'm really getting into the swing of things. One of my favorite things in the world is grocery shopping, and I have done plenty of that this week! While I feel at home in any grocery store, it is especially difficult to shop in a foreign language. When it comes to meats and cheeses, I am just about completely lost! None of it looks like stuff I am used to, nor does it have pictures, names, or shapes that allude to what it is! All the deli meat is somehow made into slices the shape and size of softballs. That doesn't make one feel too good about what they are buying... Hopefully one day I'll graduate to buying real meat. Gonna need Mein Mutti's help with that one. Mein Mutti is how I refer to my German Mom. I've been getting to know her better this week and she is really sweet! Tonight I discovered, after revealing to her my desire to design shoes one day, that she used to design costumes for theatre, opera, and musicals! Sadly, I can't really talk to my little German brother. He probably speaks better English than I do German, but we are both rather shy about it.
For the picture portion of this post I will be showing you the various places and buildings we visited this week.
Reichstag
Art inside
Leftover Russian Graffiti
Collects sunlight and stores it to light, heat and power the building!
Memorial in the Mitte
Fashion Week!
SCHAUSPIELHAUS!
(Thank you Marges for teaching me my first German word!)
Church by Schinkel who also built the rest of these buildings
Didn't think that could be made out of brick!
Altes museum
Wall Art
Some of the many colossal columns we saw in museums on Museum Island.
Trying on some ancient jewelry :)
Now on to the dreaded studio work. We're abroad... why so much homework?
