I will be honest I was surprised when we got to Bremen. By this point we have spent so much time in Berlin that Berlin is my main impression of Germany. Therefore I welcomed the opportunity to explore and walk around a new city and I quickly realized that Bremen was an amazing town to explore.

Bremen
Last Friday, we made the three hour trip to Bremen. Right away, Bremen was very different from the parts of Berlin that we had seen. All of the buildings were connected, with decorative store fronts and many, many little alleys. Many of the buildings were made of brick, which I found incredibly beautiful. Everything looked like it came straight out of a storybook. There were a lot of plants too, which made it look especially picturesque and beautiful.
Bremen Reflections
Bremen was, by far, one of the most interesting cities I’ve ever seen. It’s an eclectic mix of both modern and old. With H&M shops right next to decades- old buildings and Statues depicting decades old poems next to sausage stands with flashing neon lights. It’s this quality, I think, that makes Bremen special. Rather than tear down the old to make space for the new, or rather than building the new ways off from the old, they’re intertwined, they stand together, and in some cases, they’re within each other, and I think that’s admirable.
