The waterfall at the Viktoriapark

I wasn’t looking for anything. The second time around in Berlin I was just happy to see the city again. I didn’t expect to come back so soon, after I had realized in 2007 that it was the city I liked most among all I had visited in Europe. I wanted to see the places [...]

I think my title sums up a lot…including my smashing way to speak Denglish. Saying good-bye to Germany was truly hard, especially because saying good bye included an 8hr flight back to the united states made only more difficult by 2,5hr layovers :/ No worries I obviously made it back and had time to stop [...]
