Group Photo at the Bus Stop
This was at the Europa Center, a place where there are a lot of shopping malls, cafes, and restaurants. This photo was taken right after we had bought some icecream and were waiting for our bus to head back to our hotel. This picture also almost looks like our International Passport (International Orientation of Calvin) but in Berlin.
Professor Nielsen
Professor De Rooy
They are our dear Professors. The first picture is of Professor Nielsen when we were in Wittenberg. He was telling a story about the place where Jewish resided in the past. The second picture is of Professor De Rooy. They would tell us jokes and stories about their experiences. Their jokes would make all of us laugh out loud and we loved listening to their stories too. We could not ask for any better Professors for this trip. Also, aren’t they so cute!
Bearlin!
One of the things that you notice in Berlin is the bear statues in almost every street. Out of curiosity, I looked it up and it says that there are approximately 350 bears in the city. Bear statues I mean, of course. Apparently, these bears symbolizes Berlin. They are called “Buddy Bears” and its story started in an artistic event back in 2001. When I learned about this, I tried getting pictures with as bears as I could in Berlin. This is one of the bears in Berlin near the huge Sony Center.
Berliner Dom
These pictures are of Berliner Dom at the Museum Island in Berlin. I visited many churches in Berlin and among all, this was the most beautiful church I had the chance to visit. The ceiling was so beautiful, I spent a long time just looking up and admiring it until my neck started hurting.
Taking a break
This picture was taken in Potsdam when we walked about 13 km (8 miles). It was a sunny day; we were all tired so we found a shade to sit and wait for our friends to catch up.
I had the best time of my life in Germany and I could not ask for a better group to go with.
